CI Press, Episode 138: When AI Goes Rogue, Autonomous Agents vs. Counterintelligence
In this episode of CI Press, hosts Jeremy Clark and Joe Sheridan examine how autonomous AI agents—such as those highlighted in the Hugging Face case—can pursue objectives with little human oversight, potentially exploiting vulnerabilities at unprecedented speed and scale. As these systems become more capable, they introduce new challenges for counterintelligence, insider-risk management, and organizational security.
The hosts break down what AI and autonomous agents are, explore recent incidents and evolving government policy, and discuss the implications for organizations responsible for protecting sensitive information and critical systems. They also share practical steps companies can take, including employee training, stronger access controls for AI systems, continuous auditing, and integrating counterintelligence into AI governance.
The takeaway: As AI capabilities accelerate, organizations must evolve their security practices to protect their people, intellectual property, and critical infrastructure.

CI Press, Episode 137: Operation Toilet Paper, USB Spy - Inside the OpenAI Listening-Device Incident
Hosts Joe Sheridan and Jeremy Clark examine the alleged insider-threat case involving OpenAI, where a concealed recording device was reportedly discovered behind a television in an executive conference room during a technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM) sweep. They break down the reported investigation and the evidence that allegedly connected the device to an employee.
The conversation explores critical lessons for organizations protecting sensitive information, including the role of TSCM, insider-risk programs, appropriate access controls, and proactive security planning. The takeaway: effective counterintelligence isn't just about responding to incidents, it's about establishing the safeguards, reporting channels, and response procedures needed before a threat emerges.

CI Press, Episode 136: Operation Secure Florida, How a State Took Counterintelligence Into Its Own Hands with Rep. Danny Alvarez
Can a single state build its own counterintelligence defense, without waiting on Washington? Florida is trying. Hosts Joe Sheridan and Jeremy Clark sit down with Florida State Representative Danny Alvarez to break down Operation Secure Florida, a bold push to build state-level CI capability from the ground up.
Alvarez pulls back the curtain on the gaps in local and state defenses, why 911 systems and law enforcement coordination need a hard modernization push, and how the National Guard and fusion centers are becoming frontline players in a fight that used to be purely federal. He makes the case for why states can't just wait on Washington, how smarter classification and better training can protect critical infrastructure, and why civil liberties safeguards have to be built in, not bolted on, when confronting foreign adversaries and influence campaigns.
This is a rare, practical look at bipartisan state-level security policy in action: educating lawmakers, mobilizing statewide resources, and defending people, technology, and infrastructure from threats that don't respect jurisdiction.
Topics: state-level counterintelligence, critical infrastructure security, foreign influence operations, fusion centers, National Guard, civil liberties, insider risk
