AI agents are increasingly becoming part of software development workflows: writing code, opening pull requests, and executing tasks in CI/CD pipelines. But as we give these agents more autonomy, we also introduce new challenges for software supply chain security.
Where should we draw the line between automation and human oversight?
Join us for a technical talk with Avneet Bansal (AWS Professional Services) exploring the security implications of integrating AI agents into modern development pipelines.
We will explore questions such as:- What should an AI agent be allowed to change, and which credentials should it have access to?
- What happens when an agent encounters malicious instructions hidden in documents or pull request descriptions?
- Where should approval gates and audit trails be implemented?
- How can we balance automation, security, and accountability?
The talk will include a practical demonstration based on a small project developed using the AI-driven development life cycle, highlighting where security controls can be introduced.
We will conclude with open questions and research challenges surrounding the secure integration of AI agents into software development.### 👤 About the Speaker
