Trustworthy Productivity: Securing AI-Accelerated Development

Abstract

Autonomous agents operate in a continuous loop: perceive context → reason → execute tools → observe. Each edge creates distinct attack surfaces. This talk maps vulnerabilities—memory poisoning in context ingestion, goal hijacking during reasoning, blind execution at the action stage. You'll learn defensive patterns for each edge: provenance gates, dual-model critics, risk-weighted human oversight, ephemeral credentials, and sandboxed execution. Illustrated with real industry incidents.
