Harnessing the security in Agentic AI Era
Building Secure Agentic AI Systems
Sponsored By
From MCP and Context Windows to Agent Autonomy. Explore the emerging security challenges shaping the future of AI.
Event Overview
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly evolving from assistants that respond to prompts into autonomous agents capable of reasoning, planning, and interacting with multiple systems.
As organizations adopt Agentic AI, the security landscape is changing just as quickly.
Modern AI applications introduce entirely new attack surfaces through Context Windows, Model Context Protocol (MCP), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), tool execution, and autonomous decision-making. Securing these systems requires more than traditional application security. It requires rethinking how we design, integrate, and continuously assess AI-powered applications.
Join Threat Modeling Connect (TMC) Toronto Chapter for an evening of practical discussions exploring the evolving world of Agentic AI security and modern threat modeling.
Whether you're already working with AI or just beginning to explore its security implications, this event is designed to provide practical insights, real-world scenarios, and meaningful conversations with the cybersecurity community.
Speakers
Arshad Muhammad
Lead Security Architect at Manulife
Talk: "Securing Agentic AI Architecture"
Surinder S. Rait
Head of Global IT Security Assurance at Ericsson
Talk: "Why Static Threat Models No Longer Match Modern Systems"
Session 1
Speaker: Arshad Muhammad
Securing Agentic AI requires more than protecting individual models. It also requires securing the interactions between AI agents, tools, protocols, and external systems.
This session explores:
Context Window security
Model Context Protocol (MCP)
RAG integration risks
Secure tool execution
Interoperability between Agentic AI components
Practical mitigation strategies
Session 2
Speaker: Surinder S. Rait
Modern software ecosystems are evolving faster than ever through cloud-native architectures, APIs, AI integrations, microservices, and continuous delivery. Yet many organizations still rely on static threat models that quickly become outdated.
In this session, you'll learn:
Why traditional threat models struggle to keep pace
Common challenges organizations face today
Emerging industry trends
Practical approaches for making threat modeling more adaptive
Key considerations for architects, security practitioners, and engineering leaders
Interactive Quiz
Wrap up the evening with a fun Slido Quiz and test your AI security knowledge.
Five winners will receive a complimentary copy of Principle of Building AI Agents.
