Smart AI deployment without the security headaches.   

Welcome to Secure AI, a new community hub built in partnership with Okta.

Balancing massive productivity with real security   

 

AI agents promise to turbocharge your productivity. They unlock enterprise systems and deep insights like never before. But without the right governance, they quickly turn into an unbudgeted threat vector your team isn't prepared for.

 

Secure AI is a community for senior technology and security executives. We explore how to sensibly deploy, provision, and manage these agents. That means looking closely at human and non-human identities, innocent errors, and threats from professional cybercrime groups.

 

We also investigate how to modernise security cultures, build depth into your systems, and fix the supply chain problem. Ultimately, it's about taking your people with you on the journey to secure productivity.

How do you secure AI agents?

Securing AI in a highly regulated industry

Managing AI risks in regulated industries requires moving beyond blocking tools to implementing a "Know Your Agent" framework. Understanding this concept highlights why identity-first guardrails and human-in-the-loop oversight for transactions are essential. Mastering these pillars ensures the safe governance of autonomous AI agents while navigating strict compliance demands.

Confidence Training

The blueprint for the secure agentic enterprise

Securing autonomous AI agents requires treating them as distinct identities. Managing an automated enterprise safely relies on answering three fundamental questions: identifying agent locations, mapping their network connections, and controlling their real-time actions. Establishing this framework provides the visibility, lifecycle governance, and runtime enforcement necessary to protect organisational systems before AI deployment scales beyond control.
