In this session, Luc Delsalle, co-founder and CEO of OpenLatch, walks through the anatomy of an agentic attack, from the prompt to the tools an agent can reach to what it ultimately executes, and what teams can do to keep agents within the authority they were given. - **09:50 – 10:15** Security in the Age of AI: From Gatekeeping to Enabling Autonomy (talk) - Speakers: Shanky Gupta (Head of Product & Cloud Security, CatalystOne Solutions) - AI is changing not just how software is built, but who or what builds it. Developers are working alongside AI agents, business teams are creating AI-powered solutions, and autonomous systems are taking on responsibilities traditionally held by people. Yet much of our security still relies on human-driven reviews and controls designed for a different pace of delivery. Shanky Gupta shares practical experiences from securing AI adoption in an enterprise SaaS environment. From guardrails for citizen developers and governance of AI agents and identities to rethinking security assurance for autonomous delivery, the session explores how Security can evolve from a gatekeeper into an enabler. - **10:15 – 10:45** EU Cyber Resilience Act: Compliance Without Slowing Innovation (fireside chat) - Speakers: Thomas Zuliani (Senior Director, Security Services, GEA Group); Archo Gkoutziouli (Software Security Lead, F-Secure) - **10:45 – 11:00** Coffee Break - **11:00 – 11:35** Securing the AI-native SDLC (panel) - Speakers: Rune Abrahamsson (Chief Developer, Security Engineering, Nykredit); Philip Guldborg (Software Engineer, IT Software Development, Brødrene A. & O.
