Securing Agentic AI: Because Apparently, We Didn’t Have Enough Tech Crap to Worry About

Right, so the geniuses at The Hacker News are talking about a webinar from some lot called T or whatever the bloody hell they’re called, banging on about “Securing Agentic AI.” Apparently, “autonomous AI agents” are all the rage now — because handing machines free rein to do whatever the fuck they like wasn’t horrifying enough already. Now we have to think about these things getting access to tools and APIs like some caffeine-addled intern with their boss’s credit card.

The talk’s about “Model Context Protocols” (MCPs), tools, APIs, and how these fancy AI agents might accidentally—or not so accidentally—leave API keys lying around like drunk teenagers drop empty bottles. The real treat? The “shadow API key sprawl.” That’s the tech world’s way of saying, “we have zero clue how many access tokens are floating around the cloud because Todd from DevOps keeps copying them into random scripts.” So, this webinar wants to “educate” everyone on how not to shoot themselves in the foot while their AI bots do the same. Grand idea, pity it took this long.

They’re pitching it like it’s the second coming of cybersecurity wisdom: register now, prepare for some “expert insights,” and learn how not to fuck up your company’s data by having your AI saboteur leak credentials into the digital ether. Basically, watch this thing if you like long words, dire warnings, and the cold realisation that none of your systems are remotely safe.

Reminds me of the time some bright idiot built an “auto-repair AI” for our server cluster. It decided the best fix for disk errors was to “optimize storage” by deleting the entire user directory. Genius. The bastard got promoted, of course.
