What you'll learn

What Actually Happened

We will unpack the Hugging Face and Anthropic incidents in plain language and discuss what made them different.

Where the Controls Broke Down

Was this a model problem, a security failure, an evaluation failure, a governance failure or a combination of all four?

Who Can Shut Down the Agent

Who should have the authority to pause or stop an AI agent, and what should trigger that decision?

Why this topic matters

Join me and a few special guests for an open conversation about what happened with the recent Hugging Face x OpenAI and now with the Anthropic incidents, where the controls broke down and what these incidents mean for anyone responsible for governing AI agents.

You'll learn from

François B. Arthanas

Founder of CyberProsAI | Agentic AI Governance Advisor | CISSP, CISA, AAIA™

Every company wants AI agents. Very few can prove those agents are safe, secure, reliable, private, accountable, and ready to deploy.

That trust gap is where I work. I'm the Founder of Cyber Pros AI a Ph.D. Candidate at Dakota State University and holds CISSP, CISA, AAIA™, CDPSE & SecX.

I don’t just teach frameworks. I show students how to turn AI governance into artifacts organizations can actually use: agent scope briefs, risk assessments, control maps, privacy and security evidence, adversarial test plans, vendor risk reviews, monitoring plans, incident workflows, and executive deployment decision memos.

If you want to become the person organizations trust to approve, pilot, delay, or reject AI agents based on evidence, you’re in the right place.

O'Shea Bowens

Technology Leadership, Cyber Nerd, AI Security Researcher

<hello-world> My interests in life vary but for the sake of this audience, I'm a passionate nerd. I fell in love with the hacking and cyber security world 14 years ago and this is where I apply my focus.

As a curiously optomisitc problem solver I believe in taking nontraditional approaches to fix the problems of tomorrow. Once fixed, create a process then rinse and repeat.

I've shared my passion at the goverment, nonprofit, startup and Fortune 100 level. I'm on a constant mission of growth pertaining to security management programs in the areas of incident response, threat hunting, cloud security, security analytics, security architecture and malware analysis.

I strongly believe that the future of #infosec is what we each contribute which is why I mentor and volunteer my time to empower others. Currently helping startups 10x with wicked security programs, speaking about security from conference stages and learning about artificial intelligence. Happy Hunting.
