AI agents are no longer experimental — they’re moving into real-world production systems. But with the ability to reason, call tools, access APIs, and act autonomously comes an entirely new layer of security challenges.
In this session, we’ll explore how to securely deploy AI agents on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) while balancing flexibility, scalability, and safety. Learn how to leverage Workload Identity, Network Policies, Secret Manager, and security guardrails to ensure your AI agents remain powerful, reliable, and protected from misuse or vulnerabilities.
Whether you're building intelligent assistants, automation workflows, or autonomous AI systems, this session will help you understand the practical security considerations needed to confidently move AI agents into production.
