What we’re about
The Southern California (SoCal) Chapter of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) is an organization formed to promote the use of leading practices for providing security assurance within Cloud Computing and provide education on the uses of Cloud Computing to help secure all other forms of computing.
The Southern California (SoCal) Chapter of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) is comprised of many subject matter experts from a wide variety of disciplines, united in our objectives:
• Promote a common level of understanding between the consumers and providers of cloud computing regarding the necessary security requirements and attestation of assurance.
• Promote independent research into best practices for cloud computing security.
• Launch awareness campaigns and educational programs on the appropriate uses of cloud computing and cloud security solutions.
• Create consensus lists of issues and guidance for cloud security assurance.

•OnlineWebinar: AI Agent Security Best Practices Guide
OnlineAs AI agents move from experimental pilots to core business functions, the attack surface is shifting. The challenge is no longer just about securing the model, but securing the agent's autonomy, decisions, and access to data throughout its entire lifecycle.
Join us for a deep dive into the practical realities of AI agent security. This session moves beyond theory to provide a concrete playbook for building, deploying, and operating AI agents securely—ensuring you catch security gaps before they evolve into real-world risks.

### Key Takeaways
In this session, we will cover how to proactively manage risk across the three critical stages of the AI agent lifecycle:
- Build: Implementing "secure by design" principles for agent architecture and prompt engineering.
- Deploy: Establishing guardrails and secure environments to prevent unauthorized actions during rollout.
- Operate: Continuous monitoring strategies to detect drift, injection attacks, and unintended behaviors in real-time.
### Who Should Attend
This event is specifically curated for Security, Risk, and Compliance Professionals who need to enable AI innovation while maintaining rigorous security standards.9 attendees
