ATEA - Securing Agentic AI: Harnessing Autonomy without Losing Control

Securing Agentic AI: Harnessing Autonomy without Losing ControlWhy attend?Event descriptionAgentic AI is transforming artificial intelligence from systems that simply respond to prompts into autonomous agents capable of reasoning, planning, using tools, accessing enterprise data, and taking actions. This new paradigm creates tremendous opportunities - but also introduces a fundamentally new security and governance landscape.This talk begins with an introduction to the rapidly evolving world of AI agents and how they differ from traditional Generative AI. It then explores the emerging risks of autonomous agents, including excessive agency, prompt injection, identity and privilege misuse, data leakage, compromised tools, and unintended actions. Finally, the talk presents practical approaches for securing Agentic AI through strong identity and access controls, guardrails, least-privilege principles, continuous monitoring, runtime governance, and human oversight - enabling organizations to harness the power of autonomous AI while maintaining security, trust, and control.There is a ticket price of $10. Dinner will be served.
