Autonomous AI systems that plan, decide, and act across workflows are transforming how organisations deliver mission-critical services. This session shares security-first architecture best practices for designing, deploying, and governing agentic AI in high-assurance environments, drawing from Australia's Information Security Manual (ISM) and AWS security frameworks. Discover practical patterns for architecting proactive, intelligent services while maintaining security, transparency, and operational resilience through defense-in-depth strategies and purpose-built AWS capabilities.

Playbook
Editorial commentary · what to actually do about this on Monday
The concept
Architecture patterns aligned to Australia's Information Security Manual (ISM). Defense-in-depth for autonomous agentic systems. Security, transparency, operational resilience.
Why it matters
Public sector is moving fast on agentic AI. ISM compliance is non-negotiable in Australian government work.
The hard parts
ISM doesn't have agent-specific guidance yet (as of 2026). Interpretation matters; getting it wrong creates compliance debt.
Playbook moves
(1) Engage with the AU government CISO community early. (2) Document your interpretive choices. (3) Build for the standard you expect, not just the one that exists.
The surprise
ISM compliance for agents will likely drive *private-sector* standards too. If you sell to government, your architectural patterns are about to become reference architectures across regulated industries.
> *Related: WPS202 covers similar ground with public-sector framing. Treat as the same content; attend whichever fits your slot.*
