AI Security Is Still Software Security | ClearTech Loop with Nicolas Moy

AI is being embedded into enterprise tools faster than most organizations can govern it. Productivity platforms, security systems, and development workflows now include AI capabilities by default, often without a single decision point or clear ownership model. In this episode of ClearTech Loop, Jo Peterson sits down with Nicolas Moy, Founder and CIO of LifeMark Financial and vCISO for Security Engineering at Halyard Labs, to talk about what AI security looks like in practice when it is treated as software, not as a separate discipline. Nicolas shares how security teams are already using AI today to accelerate policy development, reduce operational noise, and support threat modeling earlier in the design and build process. The conversation also explores why governance is struggling to keep pace with employee behavior as sensitive information enters AI systems without clear visibility into where data goes or how it is reused. Rather than framing AI security as a future problem, this discussion focuses on what CISOs and CIOs are dealing with right now, and why accountability has to keep pace as AI compresses timelines across security and technology decisions. 🔔 Subscribe for more ClearTech Loop conversations 🎧 Listen on Buzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2248577/episodes/18586155 📰 Subscribe to the ClearTech Loop Newsletter on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7346174860760416256/ Shape Chapters / Timestamps 00:00 Episode framing and AI as embedded software 01:10 Where AI is already helping security teams today 03:00 Policy and procedure development with AI 04:30 Security operations, signal noise, and prioritization 06:10 Threat modeling AI earlier in the build process 07:45 Employee AI use and emerging governance gaps 09:30 Data visibility and AI system behavior 11:10 The CISO and CIO shared responsibility 13:00 Treating AI as software, not a separate category 14:30 Closing thoughts and wrap up Key Links ClearTech Research https://cleartechresearch.com ClearTech Loop Newsletter on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7346174860760416256/ https://nicolasmoy.com/
