Agentic coding tools are the new frontier of developer velocity…but giving an autonomous agent access to your proprietary IP and an internet connection? Sounds like a data exfiltration nightmare. In the world of AI-assisted engineering, we found that exfiltration is often just one clever prompt injection away.
This talk presents a production-hardened architecture built on AWS EC2 to safely harness AI agents without compromising proprietary data. We will move beyond standard Security Groups and VPC Endpoints to detail a zero-trust sandbox featuring a TLS-decrypting Squid proxy for deep content inspection, coupled with Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall and GuardDuty for lateral movement constraints.
Learn how to build a multi-layered defense that keeps pace with the 'Centaur's Stride' - balancing a paranoid security posture with the frictionless speed developers actually need to stay productive
