ISSA-HR Presents: Securing Your AI Agents

Talk Description
AI agents are rapidly becoming part of everyday business operations, but they also introduce an entirely new security threat landscape. In this session, Andrew Stafford of AI Collective Hampton Roads explores the real-world risks of autonomous AI agents, including exposed systems, prompt injection attacks, malicious integrations, and workstation compromise. Attendees will gain practical insights into emerging AI agent vulnerabilities, defensive strategies, and actionable steps security teams can take today to better secure developer and enterprise environments.

No prior AI agent experience needed.
