​AI agents are rapidly evolving from copilots to autonomous operators inside financial systems.

​As organizations scale to hundreds or thousands of agents, security must evolve accordingly. When agents can move money and access PCI / PII, a single compromised tool, poisoned data source, or mis-scoped permission can result in:

• ​Fraud losses

• ​Data leakage

• ​Regulatory violations

• ​Partner ecosystem disruption

• ​Operational shutdown

​This event explores how to secure AI agents in production environments, including:

• ​Tool and API access control

• ​Runtime policy enforcement

• ​Continuous monitoring

• ​Auditability and evidence generation

• ​Securing MCP-style tool ecosystems

​Who This Event Is For

​Engineers, security architects, platform teams, and product leaders building or deploying AI agents in real payment and financial systems.
