Twine’s CEO Benny Porat Interview with Help Net Security
Key takeaways
- Security’s critical gap is execution: detection has advanced, but teams lack the resources to act on findings.
- AI Digital Employees can handle identity and access management workflows end to end.
- Twine recommends a measured adoption path: start with augmentation, then expand autonomy as trust is established.
- Digital employees create comprehensive audit trails, turning compliance into a proactive capability.
- Begin with the projects that matter most and measure the difference in time, resources and outcomes.
Benny Porat, Co-Founder and CEO of Twine Security, discussed how the company addresses a critical gap in cybersecurity: the execution challenge. While detection technologies have advanced significantly, security teams often lack the resources to act on findings effectively.
Porat explained that agentic AI offers a way to close this execution gap by introducing AI Digital Employees capable of handling Identity and Access Management workflows end-to-end. The company recommends a measured adoption strategy, beginning with augmentation-where AI enriches decisions and accelerates processes-before progressing to full automation once trust is established.
See it in action.
A key advantage of AI-driven solutions involves accountability. Unlike traditional human decision-making, which frequently goes undocumented, these digital employees create comprehensive audit trails, transforming compliance into a proactive capability while maintaining transparency.
Porat advised security leaders to begin with projects that matter most and measure the difference in time, resources, and outcomes once AI agents are involved. He envisions agentic AI eventually integrating across security functions, allowing human experts to focus on strategy while digital employees handle repetitive operational tasks.
