InformationWeek Podcast: Can AI Help Humans ID Cloud Misconfigurations?
InformationWeek, Tuesday, October 20th, 2026
TeamViewer's CISO and Xactly's CTO discuss what AI can and can't do to find and fix cloud misconfigurations, and why humans stay in the loop.
Jan Bee, CISO at TeamViewer, and Kandarp Desai, CTO at Xactly, discuss cloud misconfigurations, which span layers of clusters, buckets, load balancers and virtual machines that must work together.
AI helps with anomaly detection and spotting suspect behavior, but it can over-report alerts or misunderstand how systems function, so humans remain a critical part of the loop.
The guests cover common causes of misconfigurations, how AI changes the speed of awareness, the consequences of leaving problems unchecked and whether leadership now expects faster fixes.
They also play InformationWeek's Questionable Ideas tabletop exercise.
