Description:
Autonomous AI agents are already executing contracts, committing spend, and transacting on behalf of enterprises without human review. This session examines the agentic infrastructure now operational across leading technology and payment platforms, the six risk categories no existing audit framework fully addresses, and the governance architecture IT professionals and auditors must build to keep pace. Attendees will leave with a concrete understanding of where control environments fail in agentic systems, what continuous monitoring requires, and how to elevate governance as a strategic oversight capability in the agent economy.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the key infrastructure developments enabling autonomous agent transactions and explain why existing control frameworks were not designed for this operating environment.
- Apply the agentic risk taxonomy spanning operational, financial exposure, cyber and identity, model, regulatory, and third-party risk to assess gaps in your organization's current audit universe.
- Evaluate governance architecture requirements for agentic systems including authority boundaries, bidirectional monitoring, credential scoping, and continuous assurance design.
- Develop a pre-deployment governance checklist and continuous audit approach for agentic AI systems operating at machine speed.
