Getting an AI agent ready for launch means getting it ready for your security team, too.

Brian Zimmer, Field CISO at CyberMaxx, runs every agent through a pre-flight checklist first. It makes sure someone owns the agent, its access is limited, its activity is logged, and there’s a tested way to shut it off.

That way, security can see what the agent is doing and step in if something goes wrong. As Zimmer puts it, “No owner, no log, no kill switch, no production.”

A company-owned phone can cost less than paying employees to use their own. On the latest episode of Inside Amplix, Peter DiNatale, VP of Mobility Solutions at Amplix, talks with host Shawn Cordner about why a sub-$30 all-in rate per line can beat a $75 to $100 monthly BYOD stipend, how security and compliance pressure in healthcare and finance is driving the shift, and why owning the phone number protects customer relationships when employees leave.

Hearing the same security training over and over doesn’t make anyone sharper. After a while, people stop listening.

Dustin Larmeir, Vice President of Information Security Engineering at TierPoint, says that when employees hear training too often, they tune it out. Tools that check email links before they reach an inbox help reduce the risk, but they don’t completely eliminate it.

Keeping an organization safe takes good training and good technology working together.

Not every data center is a water problem.

Ed Loveless, Head of Product for Managed Edge & Cybersecurity at Zayo Group, acknowledges some facilities use a lot of water but says they don’t represent the rest. Closed-loop systems can cool a data center without consuming any water at all.

What matters is how well a site fits its region. Getting that right starts with careful planning about where facilities go.

Ed and Shawn Cordner sort fact from fiction in the data center debate on The Amplitude of Tech.

A lot of what we hear about AI comes from the headlines, but the AI agents businesses can use today aren’t the models making the news. What makes them helpful is the information you give them.

Jeremy Tam, Sr. Implementation Engineer at Amplix, explains that these models treat the information they’re given as their only source of truth and can’t yet think beyond it. When one is pushed to answer something your documentation doesn’t cover, it can fill the gap by hallucinating.

The stronger your documentation, the more ready your AI agent is to help.

Some attackers are in no hurry to be found.

Alicia Leone, Security Sales Specialist at TierPoint, explains that once threat actors log in, they often stay quiet while they see how much access they can gain and what sensitive data they can take. They typically wait until they have something they think is valuable to the company before making it known.

That quiet stretch is the best chance to spot them. For a lot of organizations, that comes down to seeing across all of their environments and pulling alerts together in a way that catches anyone who’s already gotten past their security tools.

Imagine walking into your grocery store and finding every freezer warm. That’s what happened at hundreds of supermarkets in France after attackers took control of their refrigeration systems overnight.

No one was phished, and no ransom was demanded. The way in was far less sophisticated than that, and devices like these sit in most buildings.

See what left those systems exposed and where the same gap might be sitting in your organization. ➡️ https://hubs.li/Q04BgTyN0

AI is designed to sound human, and that changes how much we trust it. On the latest episode of The Amplitude of Tech, Katie Rotella, Principal UX Researcher at Microsoft, talks with host Shawn Cordner about the psychology behind how people experience AI, from why surveys and stated preferences mislead product teams to how LLMs confabulate in ways that mirror human behavior, and where to build friction so employees slow down and verify what AI tells them.

The most visible cause of a problem usually takes the blame for all of it, and energy demand is following that pattern.

Ed Loveless, Head of Product for Managed Edge & Cybersecurity at Zayo Group, sees AI as the latest arrival in electrification that has been building for years. The pressure comes from timing, as that long-running shift and the push to reindustrialize converge just as AI arrives.

AI draws the attention because it’s “the scariest thing at the table.” That makes it the easy answer, and only a partial one.

Ed and Shawn Cordner separate rational fears about AI data centers from irrational ones on the Amplitude of Tech Podcast.
