Meet Your Newest User: Securing Agentic AI
This presentation reframes agentic AI and Copilot agents as a new class of organizational user, rather than just another application or tool. As AI systems evolve from passive assistants into agents that can reason, plan, and take action across enterprise systems, traditional security models fall short. The core message is simple: if an AI agent can act like a user, it must be secured like a user.
