Many believe that software architects primarily structure software and make technical decisions. But in reality, it’s about much more: your ideas and decisions must be implemented by the team and aligned with all stakeholders. Moreover, the organization itself has a significant influence on the architecture.
That’s why it’s so important for architects to be effective - both within the organization and in the architecture itself. This talk demonstrates how to achieve that in practice, drawing on years of experience as an architect and architecture consultant.

LLMs accessing the database and intelligent agents that perform online purchases? The possibilities for AI in applications seem endless but so are their security and data privacy risks. In this session, we’ll address common issues such as prompt injection, key leakage, abuse of private customer data for model training, legal restrictions, and more. In addition, we will show that general security issues in your systems can also influence the behavior and outcome of LLMs.
During this session, you’ll get a solid overview of the vulnerabilities to avoid, strategies to ensure data privacy compliance and best practices for building secure LLM-powered applications.")
