Episode 11: Know your Agent
from The Agentic Mesh Podcast · host Eric Broda and John Miller
We’re entering an era where enterprises won’t run a handful of agents, but thousands or millions of them. In this episode, we introduce Know Your Agent (KYA) and argue that managing agents must look more like managing employees than managing software. We break down why identity, access control, auditability, and trust are now urgent problems, how lessons from KYC, HR, and data governance apply to agents, and why scaling agents without these foundations is a serious risk. If agents are moving at machine speed, trust can’t be an afterthought.
