300 Agents, 60 People: How We Secured Our Own AI Agents - Aiden Sochowski, Runlayer
Runlayer runs 300 AI agents for 60 employees and built internal observability to secure them
“there are more of these agents in companies than people who actually manage them”
Runlayer founding engineer Aiden Sochowski describes how his 60-person company discovered it was running over 300 agents daily and had to build a centralized gateway to monitor sessions and tool calls. The core risk identified is that agents with too many tools create a large blast radius and can inadvertently mix data across legacy systems in ways that were previously impossible without deliberate API integration. The talk frames agent governance as a largely unsolved problem as agent counts outpace the humans managing them.
