As AI agents move from pilots into production, CISOs face a new problem: agents don't just run somewhere, they reach everywhere. They are now accessing internal infrastructure and out across dozens of third-party systems. Join a panel of venture investors and CISOs as they discuss how enterprises can govern AI agents at the infrastructure level—from the clusters agents run into the systems they connect to and act on.
Panel topics will include:
- Authorization before action—closing the "audit-after-the-fact" gap
- The expanding, invisible blast radius of agent-to-tool connections
- Consistency across a fragmented environment (cluster, cloud, SaaS, and LLM)
Following the panel discussion, two innovative startups will present: Tigera, offering runtime enforcement and observability for AI agents and workloads in Kubernetes, and Merge, providing the connective infrastructure that lets AI agents securely integrate with enterprise tools and LLMs at scale.
