WHY THIS
WORKSHOP
01
Agentic AI is a governance challenge before it is a technical one.
What happens when your AI agent gets hacked?
Not your laptop.
Not your email.
Your AI agent.
An autonomous system with access to your data, applications, APIs, internal systems—and potentially the ability to take action without waiting for a human.
This is becoming the next frontier of cybersecurity.
Is your organization ready?
This workshop focuses on the practical questions leaders need to answer:
What should we require before deploying an AI agent?
What evidence should we ask for?
And how do we know the controls actually work?
Participants will leave with four practical written documents that their teams can use to guide AI-agent deployment, governance, security, and decision-making.

WHY WARSAW
06
Where the two regimes meet.
Warsaw sits at the heart of Central and Eastern Europe’s rapidly evolving business and technology landscape. As companies across the region accelerate AI adoption and digital transformation, leaders are confronting new challenges in governance, investment, talent, organizational change, regulation and cybersecurity.
The Forum brings together international and regional perspectives to address these challenges with practical strategies and solutions—making Warsaw an ideal meeting point for leaders shaping the future of business in Europe.
WHAT YOU
LEAVE WITH
04
Five things
01 — A threat model for your own agent deployment
Trust boundaries, assumptions and ranked exposure, in a form you can put in front of a board or audit committee.
02 — A set of security requirements for your teams
Identity, authorization, least privilege and containment, written as standards your engineers must meet.
03 —A control map across the AI Act, NIS2 and DORA
One set of operational controls covering three regimes, with ownership assigned and evidence requirements identified.
04 — A pre-deployment review checklist
The controls and evidence required before an agent is granted production credentials
05 — A guardrail and oversight model
Where a human must remain in the loop, what triggers escalation, and how an agent is stopped
Participants receive a certificate of completion from the Washington Institute for Professional Studies.
