YOUR AGENT INSTALLED WHAT? SECURING THE NEW AI SUPPLY CHAIN
Agents now install and connect to skills, MCP servers, plugins, tools and other agents. That is a new software supply chain, and very few organizations have decided who gets to approve what goes into it.
AI Insiders is not a conference. It's a vertical intelligence network. Each edition is laser-focused on one sector. This one: security.
📅 Tuesday, October 6 · 6:00–8:30 PM 📍 San Francisco 🛡️ Hosted with Pebblebed ⚡ During #SFTechWeek (October 5–11)
90 curated security researchers, CISOs, founders and investors.
WHY THIS DAY MATTERS
One thing sets the urgency. More compute finds more bugs, with no obvious ceiling. If that holds, this attack surface gets cheap to search very fast.
So we are getting specific:
Malicious and compromised MCP servers, poisoned tools and prompt-level supply chain attacks. What has actually been pulled off, not what is theoretically possible?
Permissions. Agents are being handed credentials and scopes that no human employee would pass review for. Who signs off, and against what standard?
Third-party dependencies. Your agent's tool calls someone else's tool. How far down does your risk actually go, and can anyone in your organization draw that map?
The approval question nobody owns. How does an enterprise actually decide what an agent is allowed to install or trust, and who is accountable when it goes wrong?
If you are building, breaking, buying or defending agent infrastructure, this is the room where those answers take shape.

SPEAKER HIGHLIGHTS
Jack Cable is CEO and co-founder of Corridor, which raised a $25 million Series A led by Felicis to secure AI-generated code. Previously, he served as a Senior Technical Advisor at CISA, helping lead its Secure by Design initiative. A winner of the U.S. Department of Defense’s Hack the Air Force challenge, Jack brings a hacker’s perspective to securing the next generation of AI-powered software.
Daniel Begimher is Co-Founder and CEO of Armorer Labs (YC F26), building security for AI agents: showing what an agent can be made to do, and applying the smallest safeguard that stops it. At AWS, he led development of the company’s first customer-facing AI security agent and built red-team agents for AI systems. He also created Automated Security Helper, an open-source security scanner, and his multi-agent threat modelling system ThreatForest was selected for Black Hat USA 2026. Daniel brings the builder’s view to a panel about what agents are allowed to install and who signs off.
