Agentic AI: From Risk Awareness to Practical Control

AI Security & Safety

If you would not hand an intern your credentials, payment data, and production access, do not hand them to an AI agent without understanding the risk. Agentic systems do more than generate content. They take action across tools, data stores, and workflows with delegated authority. That shifts the trust boundary, expands identity and data risk, and stretches governance. This session explores practical controls security teams can apply now.
