Building AI agents that actually deliver in the real world is harder than it looks. In this webinar, you’ll get a front-row seat to both sides of the challenge: how to design and develop agents that are effective and reliable — and how to protect them against today’s evolving risks.

We’ll share a practical framework for structuring, planning, and evaluating agentic systems, while tackling the toughest problems like compound errors, business context, and performance trade-offs. At the same time, we’ll dive into the unique security pitfalls of agent development — from hidden architectural flaws to manipulation strategies — and show you how to embed security from the very start.

You’ll walk away knowing how to move beyond theory and build AI agents that are not just powerful, but also dependable and resilient by design.
