The Real Risk of AI: Moving Too Fast or Too Slow? | Jacob DePriest, CISO 1Password

In this episode of the TPRM Podcast, Threats, Pitfalls & Risk Myths, Nate Lee sits down with Jacob DePriest, Chief Information Security Officer at 1Password. As AI adoption accelerates across enterprises, security leaders are facing a new tension. Move too fast, and you increase exposure. Move too slow and teams find their own tools, bypassing controls entirely. Jacob shares how security teams should think about enabling innovation without sacrificing visibility. The conversation explores agent security, auditability challenges, identity and authorization concerns, and why traditional controls like least privilege still matter in an AI-driven world. They also discuss the operational reality of agents acting on behalf of users, how security teams can maintain traceability, and why the business risk of under-adoption may be just as serious as the technical risk of over-adoption. This episode is essential listening for CISOs, security leaders, and practitioners navigating AI adoption, enterprise risk, and modern identity security.
