Tech Talk: From Prototype to Production: Building AI Agents
Speakers: Alyssa Giuliano (Airia)
Abstract: Teams building AI solutions face common blockers when moving from prototype to production: implementing security controls, handling scale, and managing deployments. This session introduces Airia, an AI security and orchestration platform that provides the security layer for production-ready agent deployment.
Tech Talk: AI Powered Compromised Credential Detection
Speakers: Shannon Davis, Principal AI Security Researcher, Foundation AI, Cisco
Abstract: Compromised credentials remain one of the top attack vectors, yet most defences stop at logon. This session introduces Post-Logon Behaviour (PLoB), an AI-driven framework that fingerprints user activity after authentication using Neo4j, Milvus, and multiple LLMs.
