The day in detail.
Where does AI make a company vulnerable, and where does it protect it?
The expert perspective
Which tools and data should an agent access? Where can an AI application be vulnerable? How should credentials and permissions be protected?
These three areas connect security principles to specific implementation questions.
From insight to application
Focused expert talks and guided application sessions run in parallel. Continue the work with specialist and technical support.
