It’s designed to make powerful AI workflows accessible to non-technical users… but as with any tool that operates at the OS level, the security implications are significant.\nWe explore what happens when AI moves closer to your data, your filesystem, and your browser — and what that means for defenders.\nWe dig into:\n- What Claude Cowork is and how it differs from Claude Code\n- Agentic desktop tools vs. command-line workflows\n- Local file access and OS-level interaction risks\n- Skills, automation, and task iteration\n- Chrome plugins and expanded attack surface\n- Overly broad permissions and least-privilege concerns\n- SaaS disruption and shifting trust boundaries\n- Endpoint monitoring challenges\n- The speed of AI releases vs. security review cycles\n- Balancing innovation with responsible deployment\nThis conversation looks at the real-world operational and defensive considerations of agentic AI tools running directly on user systems. If you’re evaluating AI productivity tools inside your organization — or defending environments where they’re already being adopted — this episode will help you think through the risks and tradeoffs.\n\nBrought to you by:\nBlack Hills Information Security \nhttps://www.blackhillsinfosec.com\n\nAntisyphon Training\nhttps://www.antisyphontraining.com/\n\nActive Countermeasures\nhttps://www.activecountermeasures.com\n\nWild West Hackin Fest\nhttps://wildwesthackinfest.com\n🔗 Register for FREE Infosec Webcasts, Anti-casts & Summits\nhttps://poweredbybhis.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/mN9_Xu9UJwoaajIvIvLd-Yygv-Vh_nJwEDItjPY09kA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zYjBm/MzE1MWI2YmE4ZGJh/MDQ3MmJkMTkxZGNl/MjBjNS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
