Mattijs Moens is an AI security researcher and the founder of SovereignShield, where he engineers deterministic, multi-layered defense architectures for autonomous AI agents. He is an active contributor to the OWASP AI Security and Privacy Guide (AISVS) and advocates strongly for open-source, independent oversight of AI training data. His current work focuses on building "IntentShield" and "LogicShield" semantic firewalls designed to intercept and neutralize AI-generated social engineering, prompt injection, and data exfiltration at the edge.
Session
As AI agents evolve from simple chatbots into autonomous systems capable of executing code and making API calls, traditional security boundaries are failing. We can no longer rely on brittle regex filters or the "black box" safety rails of LLM providers. In this session, I will unveil the architecture behind the SovereignShield ecosystem a multi-layered, deterministic defense framework for modern AI applications. We will break down the engineering mechanics of our three core products: IntentShield (outbound action auditing), LogicShield (semantic enforcement), and the unified SovereignShield firewall.
