Speed or Security? Why Not Both for Your Coding Agents

Every team using coding agents hits the same choice. You can let the agent run freely and move fast, or approve every command and stay safe. Most people pick speed and hope for the best. But there is a better option: give the agent its own isolated place to work.

This talk explains what a good sandbox for coding agents needs. That means keeping it apart from your machine, controlling which servers it can reach, keeping credentials out of its hands, and letting it run locally or in the cloud. We’ll compare common approaches like containers and microVMs, look at where each one falls short, and finish with a live demo of an agent working at full speed inside a safe boundary.
