Event Description

As cloud environments grow more complex, security teams are increasingly turning to AI-driven automation. Fully autonomous systems, however, often introduce new risks, including reduced oversight and fragile decision-making in dynamic production environments.

This session explores a practical approach to using AI agents in cloud security. Instead of enforcing changes automatically, agents observe cloud activity, analyze risk in context, and provide clear, actionable recommendations while humans retain control over final decisions.

Through real-world examples such as IAM changes and infrastructure drift, the talk demonstrates where agentic systems add value and where they should be limited. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to apply AI agents safely and responsibly in cloud security.
