Enterprises are shipping agents that hold credentials, call tools, & work through complex tasks with minimal supervision. Join us as we delve deep into the problems keeping security leaders up at night, & how they have changed in just the last six months.

Panel

What we'll get into:

Agents in production: where are the real incidents & near-misses happening?

How are you evaluating AI security tools today, & what makes a vendor credible versus noise?

Build vs. buy: what are teams solving in-house, & where are they stuck?

Lightning round: one thing every CISO should do before the end of the year.
