3554: The Mammoth Enterprise AI Browser and the Future of Secure Agentic Workflows
Release Date: 01/14/2026
Tech Talks Daily
What happens when the web browser stops being a passive window to information and starts acting like an intelligent coworker, and why does that suddenly make security everyone’s problem? At the start of 2026, I sat down with Michael Shieh from Mammoth Cyber to unpack a shift that is quietly redefining how work gets done. AI browsers are moving fast from consumer curiosity to enterprise reality, embedding agentic AI directly into the place where most work already happens, the browser. Search, research, comparison, analysis, and decision support are no longer separate steps. They are becoming...

What happens when engineering teams can finally see the business impact of every technical decision they make? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Chris Cooney, Director of Advocacy at Coralogix, to unpack why observability is no longer just an engineering concern, but a strategic lever for the entire business. Chris joined me fresh from AWS re:Invent, where he had challenged a long-standing assumption that technical signals such as CPU usage, error rates, and logs belong only in engineering silos. Instead, he argues that these signals, when enriched and interpreted correctly,...

What does real AI transformation look like when leaders stop chasing prototypes and start demanding outcomes they can actually measure? That question sat at the center of my conversation with Alex Cross, Chief Technology Officer for EMEA at CI&T, alongside Melissa Smith, as we unpacked why so many organizations feel stuck between AI ambition and business reality. There is no shortage of excitement around AI, but there is growing skepticism too, especially from leadership teams who have seen pilots come and go without clear return. This episode focuses on how CI&T is addressing that gap...

What does AI-led transformation actually look like when it moves beyond pilots, hype, and slide decks and starts changing how work gets done every day? That question framed my conversation with Venk Korla, CEO of HGS, at a time when many organizations feel both excited and exhausted by AI. Boards want results, teams are buried in proofs of concept, and leaders are under pressure to show progress without breaking trust, budgets, or operations. This episode cuts through that tension and focuses on what it takes to turn ambition into outcomes. Venk shared how HGS thinks about what he calls...

What if the biggest breakthrough in weight management is not a new diet, but finally seeing how your body responds in real time? That question sat at the center of my conversation with Sharam Fouladgar-Mercer, CEO and co-founder of Signos, a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and AI-powered health platform built to help people manage weight by understanding their metabolism. January is when motivation is high and the wellness noise is loud, but it is also when a lot of people realize how hard it is to stick with generic advice that does not fit real life. This episode is about why...

What if your website could spot its own problems, fix them, and quietly make more money while you focus on building your business? That question sat at the heart of my conversation with Aviv Frenkel, co-founder and CEO of Moonshot AI, and it speaks to a frustration almost every founder and digital leader recognizes. Traffic is expensive, attention is fragile, and even small issues in design or flow can quietly drain revenue for months before anyone notices. Traditional optimization often means long cycles, internal debates, and teams juggling analytics, design tools, and testing platforms...

What happens when decades of supply chain planning collide with AI, volatility, and a world that no longer moves at a predictable pace? That question sat at the heart of my conversation with Piet Buyck, a serial entrepreneur whose career spans early optimization engines, cloud-era planning systems, and now AI-driven decision environments. Speaking from Antwerp just days before the holidays, Piet brought a calm, grounded perspective shaped by years inside organizations operating under real commercial pressure. His journey includes building Garvis, an AI-native planning platform later acquired...

What does it actually take to move beyond AI pilots and turn enterprise ambition into real productivity gains? That question sat at the center of my conversation with Olivia Nottebohm, Chief Operating Officer at Box, and it is one that every boardroom seems to be wrestling with right now. AI conversations have matured quickly. The early excitement has given way to harder questions about return, trust, and what changes when software stops assisting work and starts acting inside it. Olivia brings a rare vantage point to that discussion, shaped by leadership roles at Google, Dropbox, Notion, and...

What happens when the systems we rely on every day start producing more signals than humans can realistically process, and how do IT leaders decide what actually matters anymore? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Garth Fort, Chief Product Officer at LogicMonitor, to unpack why traditional monitoring models are reaching their limits and why AI native observability is starting to feel less like a future idea and more like a present day requirement. Modern enterprise IT now spans legacy data centers, multiple public clouds, and thousands of services layered on top. That...

At the start of 2026, I sat down with Michael Shieh from Mammoth Cyber to unpack a shift that is quietly redefining how work gets done.
AI browsers are moving fast from consumer curiosity to enterprise reality, embedding agentic AI directly into the place where most work already happens, the browser. Search, research, comparison, analysis, and decision support are no longer separate steps. They are becoming one continuous workflow.
In this conversation, we talk openly about why consumer adoption has surged while enterprise teams remain hesitant. Many employees already rely on AI-powered browsing at home because it removes ads, personalizes results, and saves time.
Inside organizations, however, the same tools raise difficult questions around data exposure, credential safety, and indirect prompt injection. Once an AI agent starts reading untrusted external content, the browser itself becomes a new attack surface.
Michael explains why this risk is often misunderstood and why the real danger is not internal documents, but external websites designed to manipulate AI behavior.
We dig into how Mammoth Cyber approaches this challenge differently, starting with a secure-first architecture that isolates trusted internal data from untrusted external sources. Every AI action, from memory to model connections to data access, is monitored and governed by policy. It is a practical response to a problem many security teams know is coming but feel unprepared to manage.
We also explore how AI browsers change day-to-day work. A task like competitive analysis, which once took days of manual research and document comparison, can now be completed in minutes when an AI browser securely connects internal knowledge with external intelligence. That productivity gain is real, but only if enterprises trust the environment it runs in.
We touch on Zero Trust principles, including work influenced by Chase Cunningham, and why 2026 looks like a tipping point for enterprise AI browsing. The technology is maturing, security controls are catching up, and businesses are starting to accept that blocking AI outright is no longer realistic.
If you are curious to see how this works in practice, Mammoth Cyber offers a free Enterprise AI Browser that lets you experience what secure AI-powered browsing actually looks like, without putting your organization at risk. I have included the link so you can explore it yourself and decide whether this is where work is heading next.
So, as AI browsers become the new workflow hub for knowledge workers everywhere, is your organization ready to secure the browser before it becomes your most exposed endpoint, and what would adopting one safely change about how your teams work?
If you want to see what an enterprise-grade AI browser looks like when security is built in from day one, Mammoth Cyber is offering free access to its Enterprise AI Browser.
It gives you a hands-on way to experience how agentic AI can automate real work inside the browser while keeping internal data isolated from untrusted external sources. You can explore it yourself and decide whether this is how your organization should be approaching AI-powered browsing in 2026.
