The agentic frontier. AI-powered. AI-protected.

Monday, March 23​ | 4:15– 4:35 p.m. 

AI-powered identity threats exploit both human and non-human identities. The rise of AI has transformed identity attacks into rapid, autonomous campaigns capable of adapting in real time across thousands of surfaces. To create an AI-ready enterprise in this era of agentic AI security, we must superpower your data, network, and people to combat threat actors wielding AI as a force multiplier.

Lessons from the agentic frontier: How the SOC is winning in the AI era ​

Tuesday, March 24 | 3:35-3:55 p.m. ​

Agentic AI is transforming SecOps, enabling machines to decide and act at machine speed. While this drives innovation, it also fuels advanced threats. The agentic SOC is the new model: defenders shift from reactive response to proactive strategy, blending automation with human leadership. This session shares practical insights on building a human-led, machine-accelerated SOC for the AI era.

Cisco Partner Perspective Track Session

From chatbots to change agents: Securing agentic AI​

Monday, March 23 | 2:20-3:10 p.m.

As organizations race to deploy agentic AI, a new security paradox emerges: the autonomy that makes these agents powerful also makes them impossible to secure with traditional human-centric controls. Your AI agents are having an identity crisis—and it’s yours to solve. In this session we'll explore how identity-centric security, zero trust, and SASE come together to secure agentic AI.

Cisco Partner Perspective Track Session

When AI steals your patch window: Beating the clock with runtime defense 

Tuesday, March 24 | 1:15 - 2:05 p.m. 

AI is collapsing exploitation timelines from weeks to hours—mining vulnerabilities, automating exploits, and mapping lateral attack paths before patches exist. Traditional patch cycles can't keep pace. This session delivers practical examples of runtime exploit shielding, East-West traffic controls that block lateral movement, and Attack Path Analysis that surgically hardens your critical assets.

Dan Wendlandt, VP of Product Management, Cisco 

Splunk Partner Perspective Track Session

Building an agentic SOC: Practical ways defenders win with AI

Tuesday, March 24 | Time coming soon

Agentic AI has pushed SecOps to a new frontier, where machines decide and adapt at machine speed, and the same agents that drive innovation are weaponized. This session shares concrete lessons from real SOCs on what is working now: where to trust automation, where humans must stay in control, and how to redesign workflows so agents grind and defenders hunt.
