Agentic AI introduces unique and complex security challenges that render traditional risk management frameworks insufficient. In this keynote, Ken Huang, CEO of Distributedapps.ai and a key contributor to AI security standards, will outline a new, comprehensive approach to manage these emerging threats.
The session will present a practical strategy that integrates the NIST AI Risk Management Framework with specialized tools to address the full lifecycle of Agentic AI. Attendees will learn the tools and methodologies including:
Govern AI risks using the CSA AI Governance Framework. Map and proactively identify threats with the MAESTRO model. Measure vulnerabilities with the OWASP AI Vulnerability Scoring System (AIVSS). Manage and validate security through Agentic AI Red Teaming and CSA’s AICM framework
This talk will provide actionable insights for developing a resilient security posture, enabling organizations to innovate responsibly in the era of Agentic AI.
