The warning bell is sounding for cybersecurity, as machine identities <\/span>flood the system<\/span> faster than companies can secure their data.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the annual Nvidia GTC event, Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang introduced\u00a0<\/span>a series of open-source tools<\/span> based on <\/span>OpenClaw<\/span>, an open-source AI agent. The main tool, NemoClaw, is designed to safeguard OpenClaw\u2019s outputs, but security experts remain concerned.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEverything that Jensen announced last week at GTC increases the surface area and the attack surface and the risk,\u201d said <\/span>Dave Vellante<\/span> (right), chief analyst for theCUBE Research. \u201cIt\u2019s all we talked about at [<\/span>RSAC 2026<\/span>]. Machine identities now outnumber human identities like 80,000 to one. Google \u2026 shared with me that they have discovered more than 800 of the OpenClaw skills that are downloadable are straight out malware.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On <\/span>the latest episode of theCUBE Pod<\/span>, Vellante and <\/span>John Furrier<\/span> (left), executive analyst for theCUBE Research, discussed why the cybersecurity sphere needs to undergo a drastic shift. They also explored the proliferation of machine identities, as well as the relationship between cloud-native and AI-native technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

RSAC was the canary in the coalmine for agentic AI<\/h3>\n

The mood at RSAC, the annual cybersecurity conference, was ominous, according to Vellante, who called it a \u201ccanary in the coal mine.\u201d Agentic AI, if not addressed in a timely manner, could be disastrous for cybersecurity, leading to an influx of machine identities that are increasingly difficult to track and secure.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShadow AI was probably the number one or number two topic at RSAC this year,\u201d Vellante said. \u201cCISOs are really, really concerned about it. No question that the fear factor is very high. The other topic was there are a lot of unknown unknowns. What\u2019s the first line of defense now? Is it identity? Is it agents? It\u2019s shifting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Companies will soon need layered security throughout their infrastructure in order to combat agentic AI-powered attacks….<\/span><\/p>\n
