Program Overview

Agentic AI is rapidly transforming how organizations operate, but it also introduces a new class of security risks that many leaders are not prepared to manage. In this LEVEL-UP session, you’ll learn how to design secure agentic AI architectures by understanding how autonomous agents think, act, and interact across systems. You’ll explore key risk surfaces, control strategies, and governance models tailored for CXOs and senior security leaders. Then, put your knowledge into action through an interactive tabletop exercise, where you’ll respond to a realistic agentic AI security incident.  

Program Outcomes

  • Explain why agentic AI changes the security model. 

  • Review how agents reason, plan, use tools, maintain memory, and take action. 

  • Map an agentic AI system using the COE Triad – Core, Orchestration, Execution. 

  • Identify trust boundaries, policy gates, and control perimeters. 

  • Practice CISO-level decisions in a tabletop scenario involving indirect prompt injection, tool abuse, chained agents, excessive permissions, and data exfiltration.  

  • Info-Tech-endorsed CPE qualifying credit hours.
