ISC2 Silicon Valley - August 2026 Chapter Meeting

🙏 This month's in-person meeting is generously hosted by Santa Clara University.

Join the ISC2 Silicon Valley Chapter for our August 2026 meeting. Agents are shipping to production faster than the controls around them are being designed, and the assumptions holding those deployments together are already on the map for attackers. This session names five of them.

🎤 Session | The Agent Did Not Breach You. Your Architecture Did.

Speakers:
Mohit Bansal, Senior Manager, Security Engineering, Webflow
Tushar Badlani, Security Specialist, Figma

When your AI agent takes an action that harms a customer, who do you call? Most security teams cannot answer that question — not because they lack process, but because the architecture underneath their agentic deployments was never designed with that question in mind. This talk walks through five assumptions baked into standard agentic AI architectures that attackers have already mapped and are actively exploiting:

• Sub-agent fan-out with no scope inheritance controls
• MCP tool chains that replicate every early mistake npm made
• Shared memory layers with no trust boundary
• Audit logs that cannot distinguish authorized agent behavior from compromised agent behavior
• The confused deputy pattern — a vulnerability class documented in 1988 that now has API access to your production environment.
