Executive Roundtables – Block 2: Defending the Stack
Governance, guardrails, and Zero Trust — two foundational shifts every hosting executive must navigate in 2026. Attendees rotate to a new track of their choice.
•[Hosting Track] Building Agentic AI Workflows with Governance & Guardrails — using the A.G.E.N.T. model to audit existing workflows, gauge risk and readiness, engineer practical AI automation, navigate governance requirements, and track outcomes as hosting companies move from AI experiments to real operational workflows.Led by Robbie Adair
•[Security Track] AI on Both Sides of the Stack — defending hosting platforms from AI-accelerated attacks while securing the AI-built apps landing on them. Layer by layer: crawler load at the edge and who pays for it, exploit windows shrinking faster than customers patch, isolation as Node.js apps arrive on shared and VPS plans, and hardening the software stack underneath.Led by Sergei Gruntovskii
