Remember when we thought chatbots were the peak of AI? Fast forward to early 2026, and we’re all-in on autonomous agents. Frameworks like OpenClaw have made it incredibly easy to build agents that don't just talk, they do. They manage calendars, write code, and even deploy to production. But here’s the catch: the security models we built for humans are fundamentally broken for autonomous systems. If you’re a developer building with agentic AI, you’ve probably heard of the "unbounded blast radius." Unlike a human attacker limited by typing speed and sleep, an AI agent operates at compute speed, 24/7. One malicious "skill" or a poisoned prompt, and your agent could be exfiltrating data or deleting records before you’ve even finished your morning coffee. That’s where NVIDIA Nemoclaw comes in. Let’s dive into how it’s changing the game from "vulnerable-by-default" to "hardened-by-design." The Shift: Human-Centric vs. Agentic Security 🛡️ In the old world, we worried about session timeouts
