Kevin Kindle: Personal AI Agent Security
Keiser University, 6430 Southpoint Pkwy, Jacksonville, FL, USPersonal AI Agent Security
This session investigates open-source personal AI agents with a focus
on security, looking at how tools like Claude, Open Claw and Hermes are
changing the way we work and the risks they introduce. We will walk
through a live demonstration of these personal agents in action,
highlighting their autonomous features alongside the security and
privacy trade-offs that come with granting an AI direct access to your
personal data, web browser, and local machine.We will discuss how security is natively configured within these
personal frameworks and examine what potential controls can be layered
in to help reduce risk.The presentation will also create space for group discussion and
shared learning around how teams are thinking about agentic workflow
security more broadly. Attendees are encouraged to exchange ideas,
challenges, and emerging practices for utilizing autonomous personal
agents effectively while managing risk.Speaker Info:
Kevin has worked in information security in FinTech for the last 7
years, focusing in Application Security, Red Teaming and more recently
AI Security. His current focus areas include secure design patterns
for AI systems, AI security testing and AI for offensive security.Meeting will be in person at Keiser University in the 1st floor Auditorium and streamed online. This event is both in person and online:
