Executing Autonomous Security Operations with AI Agents

Transforming exposure management and security operations to better protect evolving threats is a priority for CISOs, but execution is hindered by competing initiatives, limited resources, and inherited technical debt. As a result, many leaders are exploring autonomous security models where AI agents work as coordinated digital workers across TDR, IAM, and governance to streamline workflows and shrink exposure windows.

Join this session to discuss:

The evolving adversarial landscape driving the need for faster, more consistent security decisions
The core tenants and practical applications for autonomous security
Critical workforce skillsets to build and impact to jobs and roles
