Talk Proposal: SmartVerify Founder

[smithake-sv]

Talk Information

• Draft Title: Data Security in Agentic AI Era

• Length: Can do either. Whatever works best.

  • Lighting talk/Demo (10 min)
  • Full Presentation (20 min)

• Links: (slides, article, notes)

• Which dates, particularly Tue/Wed/Thu during the 3rd/4th week of a month, are you likely available? (e.g. "Most Thursdays with 4 weeks notice", "June or later", etc.) June 25th, 2026 if that works.

• Short Summary of your talk:
  AI expands the scope of security. It is no longer about responding to a single breach event after it happens. It is about catching the slow, distributed exfiltration patterns that no human eye and no dashboard will ever spot — across thousands of agent queries that each look innocent on their own. We'll talk about how an enforcement mesh built on the CNCF stack can help address this in real-time.
