Why this topic matters
AI agents are quickly moving from experimentation to production, with access to sensitive data, APIs, credentials, and critical business systems. In this 15-minute session, we’ll explore the new security challenges created by agentic applications and how teams can build with security in mind from day one. We’ll cover identity, secrets, access, and practical ways developers can securely connect agents to the tools and systems they need.
