The three layers of agentic AI security: A defense-in-depth architecture for autonomous agents

Presented by Nutanix Autonomous systems that can reason, make their own decisions, and execute actions across an environment introduce a category of risk that application-level controls were never built to contain. Treating that risk as a single problem produces incomplete architectures, says Oscar Wahlberg, senior director of product management at Nutanix. "The guardrails to catch a malicious prompt won't stop an agent from hallucinating and doing something it never should have done, like accidentally deleting databases or leaking sensitive data with a credential it was granted but then…

By partitioning complex molecular systems, a new hybrid approach combines the strengths of classical and quantum computation to overcome longstanding limitations in predicting electronic behaviour. This DFT-Quantum Embedding (QDFT) framework treats chemically relevant portions with a quantum solver, while classical HPC handles the remainder, offering a pathway beyond the approximations inherent in standard Density Functional Theory. The resulting simulations demonstrate improved accuracy alongside the scalability needed for complex materials and drug discovery.
