The AI revolution is racing beyond chatbots to autonomous agents that act, decide, and interface with internal systems. 

Unlike traditional software, AI agents can be manipulated through language, making them vulnerable to attacks like prompt injection and they also introduce new security risks like excessive agency.

Watch an exclusive deep dive with **Sourabh Satish**, CTO and co-founder at **Pangea**, as he explores the evolving landscape of AI agents and best practices for securing them.

### This session covers:

- Demos of MCP configuration and vulnerabilities to highlight how different architectures affect the agent’s attack surface.
- An overview of existing security guardrails—from open source projects and cloud service provider offerings to commercial tools and DIY approaches.
- A comparison of pros and cons across various guardrail solutions to help you choose the right approach for your use case.
- Actionable best practices for implementing guardrails that secure your AI agents without slowing innovation.

This webinar is a [*must-watch*](https://pmmalliance.ondemand.goldcast.io/on-demand/c571549a-838f-412b-9112-daf022af0f55) for engineering leaders, AI engineers, and security leaders who want to understand and mitigate the risks of agentic software in an increasingly adversarial landscape.
