Artificial Intelligence
Podcast: Broken Governance, Agentic AI, and the MindStone Agent Exclusive
(Video) Artificial intelligence is transforming cybersecurity, but are governance, compliance, and security practices evolving fast enough to keep up?
In this exclusive SecurityWeek interview, Brian “SchleiF” Schleifer sits down with Clint Bodungen, Director of AI/ML Engineering at Arcovo, founder of ThreatGen, and one of the industry’s leading voices in industrial cybersecurity.
Together they tackle why traditional governance often fails practitioners, how cybersecurity has evolved over the past two decades, and why the biggest vulnerability is still people not technology. Clint also shares, for the first time publicly, the story behind the MindStone Agent, his open-source agentic AI project designed to bring persistent memory, identity, and continuity to AI assistants. The conversation concludes with a real-world ransomware response where autonomous AI agents coordinated incident response, forensic analysis, recovery, and infrastructure migration with minimal human intervention.
