August 28, 2026LeeUncategorizedComments Off on The three layers of agentic AI security: A defense-in-depth architecture for autonomous agents
Presented by Nutanix Autonomous systems that can reason, make their own decisions, and execute actions across an environment introduce a category of risk that application-level controls were never built to contain. Treating that risk as a single problem produces incomplete architectures, says Oscar Wahlberg, senior director of product management at Nutanix. “The guardrails to catch…

Consider an AI agent tasked with a complex enterprise workflow like migrating massive batches of customer records from a legacy CRM to a cloud database. The agent cannot rely solely on its internal context window for a job spanning hours and depends on the runtime layer, aka the harness. This harness provides execution feedback, like…
Enterprises trying to feed PDFs, slides and scanned documents into AI pipelines keep running into the same wall: the tools either miss the structure — tables, charts, layout — or cost too much to run at scale. Cohere released Parse 5 on Thursday, positioning it on price-to-performance, not raw accuracy — the right cost-capability mix…

What if the biggest opportunity to improve reproductive health—and even the health of future generations—starts long before pregnancy?
On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Ayla Barmmer, Founder and CEO of FullWell, a reproductive wellness company setting a new standard for evidence-based nutrition before, during, and after pregnancy.
Ayla is a registered dietitian with more than 20 years of experience specializing in fertility nutrition. After years of working with patients, she recognized a major gap between what science supported and what consumers were being told about reproductive health and supplements. That realization led her to build FullWell, a company dedicated to creating clinically backed nutrition designed to support fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond.
In this episode, Ayla shares why reproductive health deserves a much bigger place in the wellness conversation, how nutrition impacts fertility for both women and men, and why the choices we make today may influence health for generations to come.
We also discuss the supplement industry, how consumers can separate science from marketing, what it takes to build trust in a crowded wellness category, and Ayla’s journey from clinician to entrepreneur.
Whether you’re thinking about starting a family, interested in longevity and preventive health, or building a mission-driven company, this conversation is packed with practical insights on nutrition, leadership, entrepreneurship, and creating meaningful impact.
