On Oct. 5 at 1 p.m., join a virtual event with Joyce Rancani, chief technology security officer at Qualys, an industry-leading enterprise cyber risk and security platform.

In her presentation, “AI Security Non-Negotiables,” Rancani will discuss how as enterprise adoption accelerates from static chatbots to autonomous, action-taking AI agents, the attack surface expands into non-deterministic execution paths, prompt-driven exploitation and complex supply chain vulnerabilities.

Her session will break down the non-negotiables of securing autonomous systems across their entire lifecycle from the "brilliant basics" of zero trust identity and runtime blast-radius containment, to the rigorous principles of securely designing, building, deploying and continuously monitoring AI agents in production.

The event is free to join and does not require registration. Students seeking campus life experience (CLE) credit should RSVP for the event in Heel Life to receive credit.

This event is sponsored by the Information Security Office as part of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
