Adding Brakes to Go Faster: Navigating Agentic AI

What Does Your Auditor Think About Agentic AI?

In this episode of All Aboard, ConductorOne CEO Alex Bovee talks with Brad Thies, Founder of BARR Advisory, about how agentic AI is reshaping audits and compliance. They explore how AI can “raise the floor” by automating evidence gathering, the risks it magnifies around data and explainability, and the frameworks like ISO 42001 and HITRUST that are emerging to guide governance.

The Untold History of Identity

Ever wondered how we got here?  Before SaaS and the cloud reshaped the enterprise, identity lived on-prem. In this episode of All Aboard, ConductorOne CEO Alex Bovee is joined by Karl McGuinness, former Chief Product Architect at Okta, to explore the early architecture and security assumptions that defined the on-prem era.  They dig into the rise of Active Directory, group sprawl, NT domains, and the brittle trust models that left networks vulnerable. Their conversation traces how enterprise identity evolved and what we are still carrying with us today

A Global View of Identity Security and AI

When Abraham Ingersoll inherited the security org at THG Ingenuity, he brought a technologist’s eye and an agitator’s instinct to the role. In this episode, Alex Bovee talks with Abraham about AI adoption across Europe and the US, the unexpected cultural differences that shape enterprise security, and the reality of trying to enforce identity governance in a world of agentic AI. They dig into what AI tooling actually looks like inside a global enterprise and why AI adoption is often more behavioral than technical. Abraham shares how cultural norms around regulation, privacy, and autonomy shape how teams use AI, and how those differences play out across borders. The conversation also explores the identity governance challenges introduced by both personal and corporate AI agents, and why just-in-time access, no birthright permissions, and AI-native IAM are essential for security at scale. It’s a global, ground-level look at where security is heading with one of the most observant voices in the space.

The Death of SaaS and the Rise of Agentic AI

In this episode of All Aboard, ConductorOne Co-founder Alex Bovee sits down with AppOmni CTO Brian Soby and investor Pramod Gosavi of Blumberg Capital to unpack a provocative question: is SaaS dead? The trio dives deep into the rapid rise of agentic AI and its disruptive force on traditional software models. They explore whether agents will replace entire applications, how velocity in AI-driven development is commoditizing SaaS, and why domain expertise and data gravity are the new competitive moat. Brian offers a practitioner’s take from the front lines of SaaS security, while Pramod shares what’s exciting investors—and what’s getting laughed out of the pitch room. If you’re building, investing in, or just trying to make sense of the AI-native enterprise future, this conversation will challenge your assumptions.
