Secure agent workflows in GitHub Copilot with NVIDIA OpenShell

Original Description

Agentic workflows in GitHub Copilot can run complex tasks with broad access to local systems. In this session, see how to enforce policy and governance for agents operating in CLI environments. You’ll walk through how NVIDIA OpenShell applies kernel-level controls, isolates agent processes, and limits permissions based on task context. Learn how to apply zero-trust principles to secure agent-driven development workflows. Seating for this session is first-come, first-served. Add it to your schedule to plan your day and arrive early to secure a spot.
