Agentic AI Security: What Project Leaders Must Know Before Shipping Autonomous Systems

An AI agent with tool access is no longer software, it's a non-human actor inside your enterprise. It can be manipulated, hijacked, or simply wrong at scale. For project leaders, that changes everything about how agentic initiatives are scoped, tested, and deployed.

This session covers the real attack surface (prompt injection, tool abuse, data exfiltration via agents, permission escalation), the governance controls that actually work (least-privilege tools, dual-LLM patterns, human checkpoints) and the regulatory pressure landing in 2026 (EU AI Act, Colorado AI Act, Illinois SB 315).

You'll leave with a defensible framework to challenge vendors, question architects, and protect your projects.

The Oakland Virtual Roundtable is a monthly meeting that features a variety of speakers and topics chosen by YOU, our PMI members and community.

OVR meetings are held on the first Tuesday of every month (excluding holidays, in which case the meeting will be rescheduled to the second Tuesday).
