# Securing the Future: Trust, Policy, and Governance in Agentic Workflows 


- **Date:** Friday, Jul 11, 2025
- **Time:** 11:00–11:30 (30 min)
- **Room:** Stage 2
- **Event:** World Congress 2025

## Description

Agentic applications are redefining software delivery, from dev to serverless production, but they are also breaking traditional security and governance models. How do we secure workflows run by autonomous agents? How do we manage identity, policy, and compliance when models make runtime decisions? Meanwhile, developers are drowning in CVEs, patching nonstop, and overwhelmed by noisy scanners offering little insight. This panel dives into the critical challenges of trust, policy, and vulnerability management in the age of AI-powered systems, and what it will take to build agentic apps that are secure, compliant, and production-ready by design.
