S3E9: Starved from the Edges – Why Connected Intelligence Matters in Autonomous IRM
When Automation Moves Fast—and Misses the Point
In this episode of The Risk Wheelhouse, Ori Wellington and Sam Jones expose the blind spot threatening today’s most advanced risk tech: isolation.
Autonomous IRM is no longer theory. AI platforms like Tuskira are already simulating threats and triggering real-time responses. But as this episode reveals, most operate in a vacuum—starved of strategic input from the top and assurance feedback from the bottom.
The result? High-speed automation chasing low-value noise.
Five Hard Truths About Disconnected Risk Automation
Smart Engines, Dumb Priorities
Why even the best AI needs context—or it optimizes the wrong things.The Silence Around IRM
Tuskira’s ServiceNow integration is powerful—but never mentions IRM. That omission says everything.Middle Management, Machine Edition
Layer 3 (validation) is thriving—but without strategy from Layer 1 or verification from Layer 5, it’s just busywork.The Toyota Breakdown
Five years of exposed API credentials—and no one noticed. A textbook case of strategic starvation.PRAC Isn’t a Buzzword
Performance, Resilience, Assurance, Compliance—they only work when the system is truly connected.
The Takeaway: Don’t Automate a Blind Spot
Autonomous IRM isn’t about removing people—it’s about giving them actionable context. But without a two-way flow across the five-layer IRM model, you’re not managing risk. You’re just speeding up misalignment.
