Eye On A.I. · The Biggest AI Security Problem Isn't the Model. It's This. | Devvret Rishi · 7 Jul 2026 podcast

So like access to tools or APIs that can start to do work inside of an organization.

And that's why I think and motivated Rubrik to do the acquisition of Predabase, my company,

because what we actually had really started off on is building the core infrastructure platform on which people were building models and starting to deploy agents as well.

So we wanted to bring all of that in-house to be able to say, we've secured you in natural disaster, fire, flood, in cyber and security, and now also for the upcoming wave of agents.

Yeah, it's funny.

So prior to Google, I was both doing my undergrad master's kind of concurrently in computer science and stats, focused on resilient machine learning algorithms, specifically for privacy-preserving use cases.

Then I went over to Google and I worked on across a number of different teams, including Google Research, where I was working on, if you remember, the early days of agents actually looked like the Google Assistant as well, which was like this embedded assistant and all these different devices.

We were working on more deep learning focused use cases within the assistant.

So that was my first exposure to agents more than a decade ago at this point.

And then the second area that I worked was actually on Google Cloud's AI platform.

So I remember we hadn't even named it Vertex AI when I was there, which is the name of it now.

But we were really forming kind of the initial basis for the fact that more people were starting to do machine learning and AI workloads on the cloud.

How do we build a platform that people could actually use across all that?

So that's what I was working on until the end of 2020, the pandemic, when I met my co-founders who had built these frameworks at Uber to make it easier to be able to use machine learning and internally and build these applications.

These frameworks got popular, so they open sourced them.

As things happen to be open source, they got popular externally.

And so we all decided to team together and start a company around it, which was Credit Basin early 2021.

The honest reason for why Rubrik agent cloud is because Rubrik today, I think, before the agent cloud had one primary product, which is called the Rubrik security cloud.

And the core intuition behind the Rubrik Security Cloud was, as organizations were thinking both about their on-prem but also ship them on-prem to cloud migrations, how do you secure that transformation that's happening in the organization?

And then when we rolled out the agent cloud, we realized AI was a whole new system where your conventional security principles didn't really hold up.
