The Agent Landscape - Lessons Learned Putting Agents Into Production

69 minutesAdvancedBuilderMLOps.communityAI Safety & Data Privacy

MLOps.community. Prosus's VP of AI and an AI engineer report what actually broke when they deployed agents across the group's portfolio companies: prompt-injection pen-testing before launch, an unsafe write when a Jira agent choked on human shorthand, stale context handled by making agents surface their assumptions, and fallback design that merged or killed agents once they added cognitive load. It reads like the article's failure-mode register replayed as a live postmortem.

AI Expert note

Recorded in early 2025, so the tool landscape has moved on, but every failure class discussed is still being rediscovered by new teams. Watch for the incidents and the operating decisions, not the framework names.

What you should get from this

Recognize the failure modes your own agents will hit first and pre-plan the tests, fallbacks and kill criteria for each.

Watch or know first

Familiarity with LLM agents, tool calls and basic production monitoring; the article's failure-mode register as a map.

AWS Security: Securing Generative AI on AWS

AWS Training and Certification

A cloud-vendor-specific complement to the Macquarie specialization: AWS's own Generative AI Security Scoping Matrix, OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, and MITRE ATLAS, walked through governance, legal, and compliance controls for five different AI deployment scopes — from consumer apps to self-trained models. Not GDPR-specific, but a genuinely practical advanced pick for teams whose AI workloads actually run on AWS and need concrete data-governance and compliance controls, not just theory.

Cyber Security: Data, Privacy and AI Security

Macquarie University Cyber Security Hub faculty

The advanced, most explicitly on-target answer to our GDPR × AI gap: a three-course specialization from Macquarie University's Cyber Security Hub that goes from GDPR/CCPA fundamentals and privacy-by-design, through privacy impact assessments, to a dedicated third course on securing AI systems against adversarial attacks and model leakage. Genuinely bridges 'GDPR compliance' and 'AI security' rather than treating them as separate topics.

Secure AI Adoption for SMEs: Cybersecurity and the EU AI Act

CyberSuite

The rare AI Act course written for the companies the Act actually reaches: SMEs adopting AI, not the labs building it. Hosted on the European Commission's own skills platform, it pairs the legal side — roles, obligations, risk classification — with the security side (prompt injection, data leakage, supplier due diligence) that most compliance courses skip. For an Estonian SME deploying AI, this is the practical starting point.
