Embroidery CEO Zack Korman calls for stronger cyberdefenses rather than an AI pause. In an Atlantic interview published October 2, he advocates layered isolation and monitoring. The conversation was recorded on September 29.
This is not a new position: on September 23, he discussed better protection of critical infrastructure with kode24. He also supported requiring publication of agent traces after incidents so that companies' accounts can be checked.
Korman's company sells AI-agent discovery and monitoring. Its own article describes fixed technical boundaries and visibility into agent actions. That establishes his professional connection, not the effectiveness of a particular product.
This risk signal records a specific industry position. It establishes neither a new attack nor a guarantee against future loss of control. The counterargument is not treated as an all-clear or proof that other risk assessments are wrong.
