# Ajjay Govindaram

**Senior Solutions Architect at AWS**

## About

Ajjay Kumar Govindaram is a Senior Solutions Architect at AWS specializing in Agentic AI architecture, real-time streaming systems, and GenAI platform design. With a background spanning semiconductor Fab/Fabless engineering and cloud-native architecture, he has designed and deployed production AI systems across Fortune 500 enterprises in healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing. Ajay brings a rare cross-industry lens to AI systems design, applying semiconductor process control methodology (hierarchical verification, fault detection, blast radius containment) to production GenAI architectures operating under regulatory constraints. He speaks at AWS Summits and industry conferences on agentic AI, streaming analytics, and industrial AI patterns, and publishes on DZone and Hackernoon on production-grade AI architecture.

## Sessions

### Agentic AI with Cloud Credentials: The Attack Surface Nobody's Governing Yet

**What you will learn:** •A threat model for agentic AI that maps agent capabilities to ATTACK-style techniques — permission escalation, lateral movement, data exfiltration through tool-use chains

•Three specific detection signatures that distinguish autonomous AI agent behavior from human operators and traditional compromised credentials

•Architectural patterns for blast radius containment when AI agents operate across account boundaries — what "least privilege" actually means for an entity that can reason about its own permissions

•A practical framework for evaluating which agentic workflows are safe to deploy without human-in-the-loop gates vs. which ones need kill switches

•Why current AI governance (model cards, responsible AI frameworks) is insufficient for operational security of deployed agents — and what to replace it with
