How your shiny new AI Agent feature could become your next security incident

Melbourne
Security: Fortifying the Future
As organisations race to embed AI and Agent functionality into their products few stop to consider the security risks that come bundled with these new capabilities.

AI & Agents introduce new risks & attack surfaces which grow dramatically as we grant increasing autonomy, higher level permissions and deeper access to sensitive systems.

In this talk you’ll hear about recent AI related incidents, an introduction on how to test for flaws and most importantly guidance on how to minimise the risks associated with these technologies.
