Executive Summary
Two worthwhile sessions begin at noon Central today. Dallas College is hosting a local discussion on how AI is changing software engineering, including agentic coding, Git, Agile, and the skills developers still need. At the same time, ISC2 is running a free security briefing on treating AI agents as non-human identities with explicit provisioning, least privilege, review, revocation, and accountable evidence trails.

Compliance Was Designed for Humans
This 60-minute ISC2 Security Briefing translates familiar compliance controls into an agentic setting. Its practical questions are the right ones: who granted an agent a capability, how is that privilege reviewed, what evidence survives an automated action, and how is access revoked? The event email lists one Group A CPE credit; attendees should retain completion evidence and confirm credit posting in their ISC2 account.

Trends Worth Watching
Agent identity is becoming a first-class governance problem. Audit trails built around human actors become ambiguous when agents obtain credentials, call tools, and initiate changes. Durable controls will need lifecycle ownership, least privilege, periodic review, revocation, and evidence that identifies both the agent and the human or system that authorized its capabilities.
