Talk Title: The Theodosian Walls of 2026: Defense in Depth in an Agentic World

Talk Abstract:

What do 5th-century Constantinople and your organization with AI have in common? Both of them face an array of enemies armed with the latest in innovations and sheer numbers. Constantinople's response was a double wall of fortifications that protected the city for over a thousand years, and still stands today. In the same way, agentic security demands a layered response that addresses sprawling NHIs, prompt security, and rogue AI usage.

In this session, we'll break down an agent into it's core components, then explore protective frameworks targeted at the risks introduced with each component. You'll leave with a deeper knowledge of AI and agents, plus a framework to discover, govern, and protect AI - stopping sieges without sacrificing your favourite agentic tools.
