Explore how Promise Theory can revolutionize security agent design in this 45-minute conference talk that challenges traditional command-and-control approaches to AI-driven security systems. Learn why treating AI agents like guards or soldiers creates brittle systems and security failures at machine speed, and discover how framing them as autonomous entities that make and keep commitments leads to more resilient outcomes. Examine concrete examples and frameworks for applying Promise Theory to security agents, moving beyond industrial hierarchies and compliance checklists toward systems that are trustworthy, adaptive, and capable of scaling in an AI-driven world. Gain insights into building distributed, autonomous security systems where agents operate through explicit commitments rather than top-down control, creating more robust and effective security architectures for modern software delivery environments.
