About this event

What to expect

You built comprehensive API security. Rate limiting. Authentication. Authorization. Traffic inspection. Then your organization added GenAI — and suddenly you're dealing with LLM API calls, autonomous agents communicating over MCP (Model Context Protocol), agent-to-agent workflows, and event-driven systems that nobody fully documented. Somewhere in that rapidly evolving connectivity stack, sensitive data is moving in ways your existing security controls weren't designed to handle.

This online fireside chat brings together Kong's Dan Temkin and Harness' Adam Arellano for an unscripted, technical discussion about the specific security and governance risks emerging across the full AI connectivity landscape. This isn't a product demo or sales presentation — it's a candid conversation between practitioners who are seeing these challenges firsthand.

What You'll Explore

The discussion will cover the technical vulnerabilities and architectural challenges that appear when AI capabilities intersect with your existing API infrastructure:

  • Prompt injection attacks via MCP tool calls — how malicious prompts can manipulate agent behaviour through seemingly innocent tool interactions
  • PII leakage through LLM request payloads — sensitive customer data inadvertently included in prompts and responses
  • Trust assumptions in A2A communication — what breaks down when agents start talking directly to other agents without human oversight
  • Event streams that bypass security controls — autonomous workflows triggered by events that never pass through your standard API gateway
  • The classic synchronous APIs still powering everything — and why your traditional security patterns still matter

This session is ideal for platform engineers, security architects, API specialists, and technical leaders working in organisations that have recently adopted or are planning to adopt GenAI capabilities. You should have familiarity with API security fundamentals and an interest in understanding how AI introduces new threat vectors.

Why This Matters for Hanoi's Tech Community

As GenAI adoption accelerates across Southeast Asia's tech sector, the gap between traditional API security and AI-era requirements is becoming a critical concern. This conversation offers practical insights into what a realistic governance architecture looks like when your systems include both traditional microservices and autonomous AI agent
