Uílton de Oliveira Dutra

AI Agent Security & Governance • CTO at Prodeal • Doctoral Researcher
📍 Novo Hamburgo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Summary

AI agents are increasingly trusted with confidential documents, delegated credentials, and untrusted external content, all in the same session. My research asks a simple question: what security guarantees remain valid when that happens?

As CTO at Prodeal, I lead engineering for a virtual data room platform built for commercial real estate. Confidentiality, controlled access, and auditability are core to the product, not add-on features, which gives me a production perspective on many of the same problems now emerging in agentic AI.

In parallel, I'm a doctoral researcher at Universidade Feevale, working on the secure and auditable execution of generative AI agents. My research develops principled ways to establish what an agent architecture actually secures, rather than what it claims, grounded in the premise that security properties do not compose automatically in systems with probabilistic components.

I've spent more than 25 years building products, companies, and engineering teams. I previously co-founded and served as CTO of Ocapi, Brazil's leading independent dynamic creative optimization company, which delivered up to over 2.5 billion ad impressions per month for clients including Globo, Samsung, Netshoes, and Brookfield. Ocapi was acquired by Reamp in 2015, later part of Jellyfish. Earlier, I led Funcional Tecnologia, developing custom solutions for clients like 20th Century Fox and Warner Music. I hold a Master's in Creative Industries, as well as degrees in Software Engineering and Business Administration.
