The Trust Layer of AI Operations
Boston AI Week
Practical security for AI applications, connected tools, and agentic workflows.

Agentic AI can transform how organizations operate and grow but only when they can trust it with meaningful work. Join security practitioners and AI builders to explore what it takes to test AI deployments, control the actions they can take, and respond when things go wrong.

AI is moving from assistance to action.

AI systems can now retrieve internal information, interact with business tools, recommend decisions, and increasingly act on behalf of people.

That creates a new operational question: How do organizations give AI meaningful responsibility without losing control?

The answer requires more than model security alone. It requires a trust layer across how AI is deployed, monitored, tested, governed, and stopped when necessary. The Trust Layer of AI Operations brings these perspectives together in one practical conversation.

What You'll Take Away
By the end of the session, you'll have:

  • 01 A deployment review lens
    Questions you can use to evaluate the security and operational readiness of an AI deployment.
  • 02 An investigation perspective
    A clearer understanding of the evidence security teams need to recognize, investigate, and respond to AI misuse.
  • 03 A coordination framework
    Practical starting points for connecting engineering, security operations, and governance around AI risk.

Three connected conversations

Agentic AI Operations

Can we give AI meaningful responsibility while keeping humans accountable?   Explore permissions, human approval, escalation, oversight, and recovery for systems that can take action.

AI SecOps

If something goes wrong, can we see it, understand it, and respond?   Explore how security teams can recognize suspicious activity, investigate what happened, and coordinate an effective response across AI systems and connected tools.

AI Red Teaming

How could the deployment be manipulated?   Examine how adversarial testing can expose weaknesses across AI inputs, retrieval sources, models, and connected tools—and how those findings can inform stronger controls.

Who Should Attend

This conversation is designed for people responsible for building, securing, deploying, or governing AI in real-world environments.  

Security Leaders: Evaluating how existing security operations need to adapt to AI deployments.  
AI & Platform Engineers: Building applications and agentic workflows that interact with enterprise systems.
Technology Decision-Makers: Assessing when and how AI can safely move from experimentation into production.
Founders & AI Builders: Deploying AI into meaningful business processes and determining what safeguards are needed as access expands.

Bring a Deployment Question

What is your team trying to decide before putting an AI application into production or before giving an existing agent additional access?  

Bring that question to the conversation.  

You can share a non-confidential question when you register, and contributors will use audience questions to ground the discussion in real deployment challenges.

Continue the Conversation Through SecureNow

The questions around trustworthy AI don't end when the session does.   Connect with peers working through practical security decisions across AI applications, enterprise systems, and emerging agentic workflows.   Participation in the ongoing SecureNow community is optional and separate from event registration.
