    Privacy Ops Masterclass | Building Trust Across Product, AI and Security

    Privacy does not fail only because organizations do not have policies.Many times, privacy fails because it comes too late.After the product is designed.After the code is written.After the vendor is onboarded.After the data flow is already live.After the AI use case has already started using personal data.In this podcast/session, Prabh discusses the practical meaning of Operationalising Privacy across Product, AI and Security.This session focuses on how privacy can move from paperwork to real execution inside organizations.We discuss why privacy by design fails when privacy is reviewed only after design is complete, and why privacy must be embedded into product development, engineering workflows, AI programs, security reviews, data-flow mapping, risk scoring, and day-to-day business decisions.https://www.linkedin.com/in/devika-subbaiah-infosec/In this session, we cover:- Why privacy should not appear only at the end of product design- Why privacy by design must be embedded before code is written- What Privacy Operations really means- Difference between privacy policy and privacy operations- Why DPO oversight and Privacy Ops execution are not the same role- How product, security, legal, business and privacy teams should work together- Why data flow diagrams should be living maps, not one-time documents- How vendor changes, retention changes and subprocessors affect privacy risk- Why privacy risk should not be viewed only through a legal lens- Why privacy risk and security risk must both be assessed- How dual-axis risk scoring can help evaluate organizational risk and individual harm- How an Activity-First Data Model can reduce repeated privacy documentation- How RoPA, DPIA, TIA, LIA and consent records can be generated from a common activity record- Why privacy must scale across products, functions and AI programs- Why every privacy framework field ultimately represents a real person and a real riskThe key message is simple:Privacy that only works on the day it was checked is not privacy.Organizations need privacy systems that are operational, scalable, evidence-driven, and embedded into daily decision-making.Watch the full session and comment below:What is the biggest privacy challenge in your organization — product design, AI usage, vendor risk, data mapping, privacy operations, or DPO execution?#PrivacyOps #DataProtection #PrivacyByDesign #AIGovernance #CyberSecurity #GRC #DPDP #GDPR #ProductSecurity #PrivacyEngineering #CoffeeWithPrabh

    Threat Modeling for Agentic AI: Stop Treating Agents Like APIs

    Agentic AI is changing the way applications are designed, tested, deployed, and secured.Traditional application security focuses on APIs, authentication, authorization, databases, code, sessions, and technical attack surfaces.But Agentic AI introduces a different challenge.A user may not need technical knowledge to influence the system.A simple natural language prompt can make an AI agent classify intent, call a tool, retrieve data, generate a response, trigger a workflow, or influence a business decision.In this podcast episode, Prabh speaks with Akansha about Threat Modeling for Agentic AI Systems, using a practical customer support chatbot architecture as the case study.The architecture discussed includes:Classifier agentResponder agentQA reviewer agentHuman approval processRetrieval databaseTool integrationsLogging and monitoringRefund workflowThird-party integrationsThe session explains how a customer request flows through different agents, how intent is classified, how responses are generated, how refund requests are reviewed, and why human approval is important for high-risk financial actions.Content Reference https://github.com/smartdevil09/AI-Security-Professional-Roadmap/blob/main/AI%20security%20concepts/Threat%20Modelling%20Agentic%20Architecture.pdfLinkedin Profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/akesharwani/In this episode, we discuss:How Agentic AI differs from traditional application securityWhy prompts and natural language interactions create new risksWhy threat modeling should happen before production deploymentWhy stakeholder engagement is criticalHow to understand the business problem before identifying threatsHow to create an asset inventory for AI systemsHow to identify business assets and AI assetsHow to prepare data flow diagrams for multi-agent systemsHow to define trust boundaries between users, agents, tools, databases, and third partiesWhy refund workflows need stronger approval controlsWhy human approval is required for critical financial transactionsWhy logging and monitoring must be carefully designedHow to avoid logging sensitive PII dataHow attackers may exploit AI agents using prompt injectionHow AI agents may be manipulated into unauthorized actionsHow traditional AppSec controls still matter in Agentic AI systemsHow third-party Agentic AI systems should be assessedWhat documentation should be requested from vendorsHow to use STRIDE, MITRE ATLAS, OWASP LLM Top 10, CVE, and CWE for threat enumerationHow to evaluate likelihood, impact, business risk, and compliance riskWhy threat modeling must be continuously updated as architecture and threats changeAkansha also explains that threat modeling Agentic AI is not a simple automated checklist activity.It requires business context, stakeholder interviews, architecture understanding, asset inventory, data flow mapping, trust boundary analysis, risk assessment, guardrail design, logging, monitoring, validation, and continuous review.#AgenticAI #AISecurity #ThreatModeling #AppSec #AIGovernance #OWASP #MITREATLAS #CyberSecurity #GRC #CoffeeWithPrabh
