He outlines seven pillars of SME security: governance, data integrity, hygiene (MFA/patching), third-party risk, AI threat detection, people (technology/trust/talent), and incident response. Ramirez uses the analogy of AI as a knife that now makes its own decisions, emphasizing the need for human-centric governance. Key themes include applying Zero Trust architecture as network guardrails around AI agents, the risk of innovation outpacing policy and law, and the importance of talent as the most critical security ingredient. The conversation also touches on running local AI models for better containment and the deterministic vs. probabilistic nature of AI systems. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
