On the 40th episode of Enterprise AI Defenders, host Mike Britton (CIO, Abnormal AI) is joined by Keith Gordon , Chief Security Officer at CIBC . Keith shares how a top-25 US bank is hardening its client-facing defenses with in-house behavioral biometrics, why third parties are the next exposed layer in financial services, and how the bank is governing agentic identities as the next phase of identity-first defense. Quick Hits from Keith: On the operating principle: "We've got to build AI for security... But we also have to have security for AI." On the client as the new threat surface: "The client is the path of least resistance and the lowest on the maturity scale." On governing agents: “they’re a kind of micro-segmentation in the AI age" Book Recommendation: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. Like what you hear? Leave us a review and
