As AI agents increasingly act on behalf of individuals and enterprises, the question of who — or what — is behind a transaction has become one of the most pressing challenges in cybersecurity. Rosalyn Curato, Chief Innovation Officer and GM of Agentic Security at Vouched, sat down with IT Tech Pulse to share how organizations can prepare for this new reality.

Rosalyn sees two compounding risks facing organizations today: the pace of AI adoption is outrunning the infrastructure needed to support it safely, and companies in "wait-and-see" mode are unknowingly leaving themselves exposed.

"The bad guys are using AI and finding more creative ways to come after the good guys, so we all need to sharpen our defenses. Ignoring the problem is just setting you up for failure in the long run."

She outlines a clear framework for how identity infrastructure must evolve to meet the agentic era - moving beyond retrofitting human authentication systems, and instead building purpose-built trust layers that bind agents to the humans they represent and define what permissions they've been granted.

Vouched is leading this charge through initiatives like KYA-OS (Know Your Agent Operating System), an open identity framework donated to the Decentralized Identity Foundation, and its growing agentic partner ecosystem designed to bring accountability and trust to AI-powered environments.

Read the full interview to hear Rosalyn's practical advice for enterprises navigating AI adoption - and why she believes every leader already has what it takes to figure it out.
