Hands-on AI agent security workshop business with self-provisioned attack lab environments
A training product where attendees attack a deliberately permissive agent (a chatbot wired to a Kubernetes cluster with tools) and then repeat the same attacks against progressively hardened configurations — exposed, infrastructure-guarded, and AI-guardrail-enabled — learning what each layer stops and what it doesn't. Participants get their own disposable cluster, terminal, chat interface and observability backend via a self-service provisioning page, and the whole setup is open-sourced as a repo.

From AI Engineer — Build a Platform and Watch It Burn — Michael Forrester, Accenture & Whitney Lee, Datadog at 00:12
Problem: Teams letting agents into their clusters have no tangible sense of 'excessive agency' risk — a friendly chat interface becomes a route to tools, files and cluster operations — and no safe way to rehearse attacks and countermeasures before an incident.
For: Platform engineering teams, enterprise engineers, architects and C-level security stakeholders at companies adopting AI agents.
