Okta Director Arun Kumar Elengovan explores Building AI Agents for Security: Patterns, Guardrails and Real-World Impact

Are you ready for the platform shift from security automation to AI agents?

AI is quickly moving beyond simple prompt-driven interactions. A new generation of agent-based AI systems is emerging that can reason through problems, take action, and learn from outcomes, and this is becoming the next competitive advantage in cybersecurity and product design.

On January 27, our Virtual Speaker Series will feature Okta’s Director of Engineering Security Arun Kumar Elengovan, to explore what this shift really means for modern cybersecurity and why it matters for the way products are designed, built, and scaled. We’ll uncover:

– how agent-based AI systems work
– how reasoning and action loops enable more adaptive security decisions
– how tools, memory, and orchestration come together to create systems that behave more like experienced security teams than static automation

This session is especially relevant for product managers and technology leaders who are navigating the transition from AI experimentation to real-world impact. We’ll discuss where agentic approaches add real value, where guardrails are essential, and how teams can move toward production-ready security capabilities without sacrificing control or trust.
