This hack::soho featured a talk from guest speaker Max Corbridge, founder of Secure Agentics. The abstract of the talk, 'Agentic AI in the Wild: Risks, Reality and a Framework for Survival,' is below!

ABSTRACT
AI agents are moving fast from research labs into production, giving LLMs the power to act autonomously with tools, APIs and our data. They’re now deployed in banks, governments, and startups...but security is trailing far behind adoption. Join Max as he explains what AI agents are, how agentic AI differs from traditional GenAI, the unique attack surface they introduce, and why both adversaries and rogue behaviours are a real concern. Drawing on real-world examples, headline breaches, and current regulation, he'll introduce DAMSIC, a practical framework for secure agentic AI adoption. If you are experimenting with AI agents, or plan to in the near future, this one is for you.
