KEYNOTE: Sovereign AI in the Enterprise: De-risk, Deploy and Scale Agents with VMware Tanzu
Every day brings promises of a new, transformational agentic use case. Meanwhile, your organization may be struggling to move from proof-of-concepts to secure, production-grade agents that you can govern. Achieving this requires a strategic, enterprise-wide approach to operationalizing and securing AI and the data it needs to be useful. In this session, Purnima Padmanabhan introduces an actionable framework designed to address the real-world challenges of securing and operationalizing agents in highly regulated industries like Finance. We will explore how to maintain compliance, sovereignty and security velocity covering topics such as:
- Agentic Runtime Considerations: Establishing guardrails, observability, and standardization for autonomous AI agents to ensure they operate within secure, compliant perimeters.
- Data & AI Sovereignty: Balancing regulatory compliance and local control with the flexibility of an open ecosystem of models, frameworks and data sources.
- Robust, Centralized Governance: Enforcing strict controls on agent access to sensitive enterprise tools, data, and infrastructure while maintaining sovereignty.
- Defending Against AI-Enabled Threats: Strategies for compressing the vulnerability-to-patch cycle to ensure your software supply chain is protected against the growing threat of AI-driven security vulnerabilities.

- Defending against "excessive agency" and unauthorised actions as autonomous systems become primary targets for cybercrime.
- Moving beyond system prompts to secure the non-human identities and "digital insiders" who manage high-value transactions.
- Strategies for securing the AI supply chain—from data poisoning and model tampering to deepfake-driven social engineering.
- Building "Defensible AI" that maintains operational integrity under the scrutiny of the EU AI Act and DORA.

Workshop: AI Ready Data: The Foundation for Scalable AI
Despite significant investment in AI, many organisations remain constrained by fragmented data, governance challenges, and legacy infrastructure. This workshop brings together financial services leaders to discuss how to create the data foundations required for successful AI adoption. Participants will explore the architectural, governance, and organisational considerations that underpin AI at scale, while identifying practical steps to accelerate innovation, build trust, and deliver measurable business outcomes.
