    Episode 50: Rethink Agentic AI: From Shadow Risk to Strategic Value

    AI agents move at machine speed. Your security doesn't. Discover how enterprises are finding shadow agents, measuring agent ROI, and transforming agentic AI from risk to strategic value. Learn from Arti Arora Raman, CEO Founder of Portal 26 and Neil Cohen, VP of Marketing in Portal 26 how Portal26's platform capabilities mitigate enterprise challenges around AI adoption, security, ROI, and governance. AI agents operate autonomously at machine speed, making decisions and tool calls without human approval. But most enterprises don't know which agents are running, what they're accessing, or whether they're creating value or risk. In this episode of AWS re:Think, host Malini and Preethi explores Portal26's Agent Management Platform (AMP) and how it helps enterprises discover, secure, and measure ROI from agentic AI. We discuss the five primary agentic AI security risks—from rogue agents to agent drift—and how organizations are using agent-level visibility to transform AI from an operational risk into a strategic asset. Learn how finance teams are tracking token consumption, how security teams are identifying high-risk agents before they cause damage, and how enterprises are finally closing the gap between AI investments and returns. Discover how to govern AI agents at the speed they operate. Reference: https://portal26.ai/ AWS Hosts: Preethi Ravula & Malini Chatterjee Email Your Feedback: rethinkpodcast@amazon.com
