Securing agent traffic at scale: Network enforcement for the Agentic Enterprise

schedule
4:30 PM - 4:50 PM
As enterprises deploy autonomous AI agents into production, security must extend beyond identity and runtime controls to govern how agents communicate across cloud environments. In the Agentic Era, the network becomes the enforcement fabric that translates AI intent into safe execution—controlling traffic, inspecting behavior, and containing blast radius at machine speed. This session introduces a Network Security Control Plane for agentic architectures on Google Cloud. Attendees will learn how cloud-native network security enables real-time inspection of agent-to-service and east-west traffic, delivers Layer 7 visibility for AI workloads, and enforces consistent policy across environments. We will explore architectural patterns using Cloud NGFW, Google Cloud Network Security Integration, and managed, consumption-based firewall services to secure agentic workflows at scale without increasing operational complexity. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for integrating network security into the AI lifecycle alongside identity, runtime protection, and observability—turning network security into an execution guardrail for autonomous systems.
