In a July 28, 2026 interview, LevelBlue's Brandy Wityak argues that the defining problem with unauthorized AI and agent deployments is not detection policy but evidence retention — by the time an incident is recognized, the telemetry needed to reconstruct what the agent did has typically aged out or was never captured. The practical implication for builders running agents on company data is that logging and retention decisions have to be made before deployment, not during response.
