Nol8 CEO Kelly Herrell outlines a 90-day plan to secure AI agent data by controlling data paths, not rebuilding systems.
Kelly Herrell, CEO of Nol8, lays out a practical 90-day strategy for securing data accessed by AI agents, focused on understanding what data agents can reach, what enters their context, and where results go.
He notes hidden exposure often sits in overlooked systems like ticketing platforms, CRM tools, and shared drives that agents can instantly correlate, a task previously limited by manual effort.
With limited early budget, teams should map agent-to-data connections and set enforcement points rather than pursue a full infrastructure overhaul.
Real-time field-level filtering, rather than duplicate masked datasets, lets agents keep needed access while enforcing deterministic policy directly in the data path.
