Agents Don't Follow Rules. Your Gateway Should

As organizations move beyond single-agent experiments, they hit a wall: AI agents break at scale. This session tackles the "Cascade Trap"—the fatal governance and integration weaknesses that plague multi-agent ecosystems—and provides a comprehensive blueprint for building resilient AI infrastructure.

Drawing on lessons from the API era, we explore the new connective tissue of AI, including the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) delegation, while addressing the unique security gaps they create. We bridge theory and practice by showing how to accelerate development using "Vibe Coding" and custom connectors, backed by a real-world case study from OBI.

Finally, the session unveils the Omni Gateway Architecture—a robust framework for intelligent model routing, advanced observability, and "Policy as Code." Complete with a live demonstration, this talk equips engineering leaders and architects with the tools to deploy secure, EU AI Act-compliant agent ecosystems that actually scale.
