2025 is the year LLMs broke out of the chatbot box. AI agents can now plan, execute, and learn all on their own in complex environments. This evolution makes 2023 seem like the stone age of AI. But with great power comes great responsibility - and a whole new attack surface to worry about: agentic AI demands a robust security model.

This talk dives into the world of AI agents, exploring what they are, what they can do, and—crucially—how to secure them. We'll examine the open-source tools that are fueling this revolution, including LangChain, LangGraph, DSPy, and the growing ecosystem of knowledge graph technologies and APIs. These powerful tools present incredible opportunities, but their architectural choices also introduce unique security risks. We'll dissect some of these risks, such as prompt injection and data poisoning, as well as compromised dependencies and insecure API interactions.

Our aim is to provide a guide on how to build secure and resilient AI agents using open-source best practices, ensuring today’s intelligent creations don't become tomorrow's security nightmares.
