Hey everyone, We’re back with a new edition of the AI Security Engineers Meetup in London on June 23rd with 2 great talks! **Talk #1 - Architecting Safe Autonomy: High-Stakes Autonomous Agents Need Deterministic Checkpoints for safety** In the rush to build autonomous agents, we face a fundamental tension: the more freedom we give an LLM to solve complex problems, the more likely it is to drift into “stochastic hallucinations” or policy violations. Most safety efforts focus on restricting the model via prompts, which often stifles the very reasoning capabilities required for sophisticated tasks. This talk introduces InsideOut, a design pattern that prioritizes agent autonomy by implementing deterministic checkpoints. Rather than micro-managing the agent’s “thoughts,” the InsideOut architecture allows the agent to navigate freely through a task—provided it periodically “grounds” its progress in structured, verifiable artifacts such as JSON or Markdown. We will walk through a real-world application of this method: an agent designed for setting up and managing cloud infrastructure. The agent is given the autonomy to discuss and decide on Features, Stack Components, Configurations, Cost Estimates, Terraforms, Deployment, and Management. To ensure reliability, each stage requires the generation of a JSON artifact validated against deterministic rules. If a boundary is breached, the agent is triggered to repeat that specific stage until the output is within bounds, preventing error propagation. By drawing a parallel to the concept of a Brownian Bridge versus Brownian Motion, we illustrate how these checkpoints act as “pins” that anchor a random walk. This approach demonstrates how forced artifact crystallization allows an agent to design and deploy complex stacks with high independence and zero “drift.” This session provides a framework for building agents that are more productive because they are safely unconstrained. Speaker: Hossein Kakavand. Hossein did his Ph.D. at Stanford University. He has been with several start up in AI, ML and Distributed Systems, with IPOs on NASDAQ and LSE. He is currently a Co-Founder of Luther Systems focused on solving the Enterprise Operations problem at scale. **Talk #2: Agentic Development Security: Securing the AI Workforce** AI agents are rapidly becoming part of the software development lifecycle, writing code, interacting with tools, and making decisions with increasing autonomy. But as organizations embrace agentic development, a new set of security challenges emerges: How do you trust the tools agents use? How do you prevent dangerous actions? And how do you ensure the code they generate is secure? In this session, we'll unveil and demo Snyk Agentic Development Security, a new approach to securing both AI builders and the AI-powered tools they rely on. You'll see how organizations can secure the agent supply chain by vetting MCP servers, plugins, and external tools before agents interact with them; govern agent behavior through real-time policies that prevent destructive actions with Agent Guard; and ensure trusted output by automatically detecting and fixing vulnerabilities in AI-generated code at the moment of creation. Join us for a live demonstration of how security can keep pace with the rise of autonomous development, enabling teams to innovate confidently while maintaining control, trust, and resilience across their AI workforce. Speaker; Denis Kent - AI Security Engineer at Snyk. Denis is an AI Security Software Engineer at Snyk, building Evo, Snyk's agentic security platform. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- As always, expect great talks, free pizza and drinks, and even better company. 📍 **Where**: Snyk Offices, 24 Eversholt Street, London (Euston tube station is right across the street) 📅 **When**: June 23rd ## Agenda **6:00 PM** – Doors open **6:00 PM – 6:30 PM** – Food & drinks **6:30 PM** – Talks begin **7:30 PM** – Talks end & social time **8:30 PM** – Doors close Looking forward to seeing you there!

AI agents are getting better at writing software. That doesn’t mean the software is getting better. As AI systems become more autonomous, engineering teams face a different set of problems: unreliable outputs, untestable workflows, evaluation bottlenecks, and legacy systems that weren’t designed for any of this. At this Future Form session, we’re looking at what happens when agentic systems collide with production engineering reality. **Speakers:** **Ning Lu, VP, Aladdin Financial Engineering, BlackRock** Ning explores the evolving landscape of LLM evaluation. From static benchmarks to LLM-as-judge systems and agent trajectory review, he’ll break down how engineering teams can evaluate systems that don’t behave deterministically. **Katie Roberts, Technical Director & AI Native Specialist, Nearform** Katie will show how AI-native engineering can be applied inside mature brownfield systems. Using patterns like the Strangler Fig approach, she’ll explore how to isolate risk, generate tests for undocumented code, and evolve legacy architectures without full rewrites. If you’re working with AI agents, legacy systems, or production engineering workflows, this session is for you. Pizza, drinks, and practical AI insights included.

This June we're at FundApps offices in HYLO, Bunhill Row. Chris Simon's back in town, and will be joining us to talk about streams and queues; plus Tiago Sousa from SteelEye will be talking about the work they're doing around using AI in comms surveillance. Our hosts at FundApps will be providing drinks and snacks, and there will be plenty of time to chat beforehand and in the pub afterwards. **Chris Simon: It's like 10,000 streams when what you need is a queue** *🎶🎵 A new dev team adopted E-D-A* *Got head of line blocking, on their very first day* *Isn't it ironic, don't you think 🎶🎵* The last few years have seen widespread adoption of Event-Driven Architecture, supported by DDD practices such as event storming. But what does that orange sticky note become when we start implementing our design? Common implementation choices include event sourcing, streaming platforms like Kafka and queuing systems like RabbitMQ. Unfortunately not every orange sticky note has the same operational needs, and many teams remain confused about the differences between these options, resulting in the selection of the wrong paradigm for their needs. This can lead to unnecessary complexity & operational challenges such as head of line blocking, dropped messages, challenges dealing with failed messages, difficulty with adaptive scaling and inadvertently increasing coupling between services. In this talk we'll bring that orange sticky note into the runtime of our system. We’ll start with a deep dive into the similarities and differences between event streaming platforms such as Kafka and queueing systems such as RabbitMq, Azure Service Bus & AWS SNS/SQS. We’ll then look at ways to assess your orange sticky notes to work out which messaging and persistence paradigms suit each one, helping you build more resilient, scalable and loosely coupled event-driven architectures. **Tiago Sousa: AI in Comms Surveillance** In this talk, Tiago shares what it's actually like to build AI for communications surveillance at SteelEye. Financial firms are required to monitor and flag communications for compliance, but making AI work reliably in that context is harder than it sounds. He'll walk through real examples from the trenches: what worked, what didn't, and what he'd do differently. **Tiago Sousa** is a Staff Data Engineer and AI Lead at SteelEye - a platform that helps financial firms monitor and flag communications and trades to stay compliant with regulations. He's spent the last five years building the data and AI systems that make that work. Before that, he did research in bioinformatics, which means he came into fintech from an unusual angle and has the scars to prove it. He's based in Braga, Portugal.

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
