NEARCON Sessions: Security in the Age of AI

​Protecting Data, Agents, and Systems in an Autonomous World

​AI systems are only as strong as the data and infrastructure they rely on.
In a world where agents transact, learn, and collaborate at scale, the attack surface expands dramatically. Securing data storage, transmission, and access isn’t just a best practice — it’s the foundation for trust in the Agent Economy.

​Join us for Security in the Age of AI, an invite-only evening where leading researchers, builders, and investors debate how to safeguard decentralized intelligence. We’ll cover encryption, access controls, secure data handling, and verifiable computation — as well as the new risks and adversaries that emerge when AI systems operate autonomously. Expect sharp insights, live demos, and high-signal networking with the people shaping security at the edge of AI and crypto.
