Talk Abstracts:
When Your Search Outgrows Your Platform - Rebecca Burch (Software Engineer II at
Texas A&M Transportation Institute)
This talk traces the real infrastructure patterns that emerge when native search stops working: custom indexing layers, incremental sync pipelines, relevance tuning, and reconciliation logic. Drawn from building a production search system serving 700+ employees, we'll walk through the warning signs that you're accidentally rebuilding a search engine inside your application layer, and how Elasticsearch provides purpose-built solutions for each of these patterns. Expect a side-by-side look at what it takes to roll your own vs. reaching for the right tool intentionally.Building an AI Data Security & Governance Platform with Elastic - Dan Tecuci (Concentric)

Talk Abstracts:
Securing AI Agents in Production with ForceAI: Runtime Guardrails and Governance Pipelines on Elastic
As enterprises deploy AI agents that interact with APIs, data platforms, and operational workflows, new security and governance challenges emerge. Traditional monitoring tools were not designed to capture autonomous agent behavior such as prompt interactions, tool usage, and decision traces.In this session, we present how ForceAI integrates with Elastic to ingest and normalize AI agent activity, prompts, identity context, and runtime security signals into Elastic pipelines. We will demonstrate how teams can build runtime guardrails, detection logic, and governance workflows for AI agents using Elastic.
The session will also show how OWASP Agentic AI risks and prompt threats can be mapped into Elastic security workflows to detect abnormal agent behavior and investigate AI-driven actions.
A short demo will illustrate how practitioners can monitor and investigate AI agent activity using Elastic dashboards and queries.
