How AI Agents Are Forcing a Rethink of Enterprise Identity Security

How AI Agents Are Forcing a Rethink of Enterprise Identity Security

In this episode of The Tech Leader’s Playbook, Jason Martin shares the founder decisions behind building Permiso, from interviewing 100 enterprise security leaders before writing code to creating a new cybersecurity market before most buyers understood the problem. He breaks down product-market fit, go-to-market challenges, fundraising pressure, co-CEO leadership, startup resilience, and the realities of selling a company. The conversation also explores AI agents, non-human identities, identity security, and the emerging risks executives must prepare for as AI becomes embedded across the enterprise. Essential viewing for founders, CISOs, technology executives, investors, and cybersecurity leaders.


What You'll Learn

• Why customer behavior matters more than investor enthusiasm or market compliments.

• How Permiso identified identity security as a critical cloud security problem before the broader market caught up.

• What founders should understand about fundraising, go-to-market execution, and creating a new category.

• When being early becomes a competitive advantage versus simply being wrong.

• The security risks AI agents and non-human identities create for modern enterprises.
