Agentic AI Unleashed: The Hidden Cybersecurity Risks You Can’t Ignore

Agentic AI is transforming the way we think about automation—shifting from predictive models to autonomous agents that can perceive, plan, and act in dynamic environments. However, with this leap forward comes a new class of cyber risks: adversarial manipulation, self-replicating attacks, and AI agents that can be hijacked to work against their owners.

In this 45-minute teaser session, we’ll explore the dark side of autonomy. You’ll learn how agentic AI expands the attack surface for organizations, the emerging risks in industries such as cybersecurity, finance, and robotics, and the defensive strategies you should start considering now.

This webinar is a sneak peek of our upcoming full-day course, "Building Secure Agentic AI", designed for AI engineers, data scientists, and cybersecurity leaders. Expect to walk away with:

◦ A clear understanding of what agentic AI is—and why it’s different from traditional AI.
◦ Real-world examples of how autonomous agents can be exploited.
◦ A preview of the frameworks and strategies you’ll use in the whole course to secure AI systems against adversarial threats.

If you want to stay ahead of the curve in securing the next wave of Agentic AI, this webinar is your entry point.
