This session explores how agentic AI systems think, act, and make decisions and how those capabilities can be exploited. It examines the unique risks introduced by autonomy, including prompt manipulation, tool misuse, and unintended actions. Using a threat modeling lens, the talk maps key attack paths across agent workflows and decision layers. It also highlights critical control gaps that traditional security approaches often miss. Practical mitigation strategies and design considerations are shared to help secure agentic architectures. Attendees will leave with actionable insights to better assess and defend against emerging AI-driven threats.
