What You’ll See in This Live Session

Agent creation scenarios, resulting IAM issues, and implementing guardrails for safe AI use

1

A real-world scenario where this starts

______________

Starting with a real world scenario of a vibe-coded agent that gets overpermissioned without a developer knowing

2

Why traditional RBAC isn’t working for agents

______________

Governance meant for defined ‘human’ or ‘machine’ users is not keeping up with the speed of agents, nor is it designed to thwart their ability to doggedly get permissions they need, acting as a de facto attacker.

3

Cloud native tools to build guardrails

______________

IAM tools available from AWS, GCP, and Azure today that help set basic guardrails for agentic work

4

Automated guardrail management and further protections

______________

Security tooling that manages IAM in a ‘Default Deny’ state for agents instead of just policy-specific RBAC protections.
