The Ungoverned Agent: Deploying Autonomous AI Without Losing Control

About this session

Enterprises are racing to deploy AI agents that reason across systems, call APIs, and act on sensitive data, often faster than anyone can govern them. The result is a quiet crisis: thousands of autonomous agents operating without consistent guardrails, audit trails, or accountability. This session lays out the infrastructure required to deploy agents safely at scale, from policy enforcement and real-time observability to secure execution on your own data. Drawing on more than a decade building AI inside organizations that cannot afford to get it wrong, Matt Cashatt shows what an agent governance layer actually looks like in production, and why governance is fast becoming the deciding factor in whether enterprise AI delivers value or liability. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for scaling agents they can trust.
