As organisations move from experimental AI to production agentic workloads, governance has to keep pace without slowing teams down. This session shows how to build a governance foundation for AI — spanning organisational structure, policy-as-code and automated evidence collection — and then extend it to govern autonomous agents operating at machine speed.
We'll cover the AI security triad, preventive and detective controls for foundation models, runtime governance for agents, and how to map it all to frameworks like ISO 42001, the NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act. You'll leave with a practical, layered approach to governing AI workloads — from the first model invocation to a fully autonomous agent — and a clear place to start tomorrow.
