Agenda

9:00 AM - 9:40 AM

AI agents now act autonomously inside your applications — trading, querying, submitting forms — with valid credentials and no obvious trace. This session breaks down what full-stack protection really requires: from WAF and API business logic abuse to detecting, authorizing, and governing AI agents at scale.
