Security teams are drowning in data. Alerts, findings, metrics, dashboards — all technically “useful,” yet often failing to answer the most important question: what actually matters right now, and why? As artificial intelligence becomes more accessible across security programs, many organizations are experimenting with AI-driven tooling in the hope that it will bring clarity. But used inefficiently, AI can often amplify existing problems rather than solving them.

This discussion explores how AI is reshaping data-informed security decision-making — not as a silver bullet, but as a force multiplier that depends heavily on human judgment, context, and intent. We’ll examine why most AI in use today more closely resembles advanced machine learning than true autonomous intelligence, and why outcomes are still largely driven by the quality of inputs, assumptions, and program maturity.

Through an operational and security lens, the speakers will unpack how teams can move from raw signal volume to meaningful narratives that support better prioritization and risk decisions. We’ll discuss common failure modes, including over-reliance on automation, misinterpreted insights, and resistance from skeptical stakeholders. The conversation will also address how organizations can responsibly incorporate AI into existing security workflows without compromising trust, transparency, or accountability.

To ground the discussion, we’ll walk through a practical vulnerability management example, illustrating how an AI assistant can help surface recommendations that improve efficiency and decision quality — while still keeping humans firmly in control of outcomes. Ultimately, this session aims to help security leaders separate signal from noise, hype from value, and automation from understanding as they navigate an evolving AI landscape.

From Noise to Narrative: How AI Is Reshaping Data-Informed Security Decisions

AI agents are rapidly becoming the most powerful “users” inside the enterprise. They provision infrastructure, move data, and call APIs with broader and more persistent access than human employees, yet they operate outside traditional safety nets. Unlike human access, there is currently no clear ownership, no certification process, and no accountability model for these machine identities.

In this session, we examine how agentic AI has quietly broken the assumptions identity governance (IAM/IGA) was built on. We will explore:

-The Velocity Gap: Why traditional controls fail at machine speed.
-Inherited Risk: How AI agents bypass oversight by inheriting "ghost" permissions.
-The Auditor’s Dilemma: The uncomfortable question CISOs will soon face from boards: “Who approved this access, and who is accountable for what the AI actually did?”.

Your AI Agents Have More Access Than Your Employees. No One Is Accountable

As AI adoption accelerates across organizations, traditional security approaches focused solely on license management and non-human identities are missing the bigger picture. This webinar explores a comprehensive framework for AI security that recognizes the full spectrum of AI identities in your environment, from AI users and builders to AI agents, and provides actionable strategies for discovery, protection, and defense.

We'll examine how AI security can be looked at through an identity security lens and demonstrate how runtime intelligence reveals dramatically more AI usage than static configuration approaches. Attendees will learn practical methodologies for inventorying their complete AI footprint, identifying risky access patterns, and implementing high-fidelity detection capabilities that enable faster SOC response.

Key Takeaways:
- Understand the three critical categories of AI identities: users, builders, and agents
- Learn why runtime detection reveals 5x more AI activity than static license tracking
- Discover how to identify shadow AI usage and over-privileged AI identities
- Implement a governance framework aligned with NIST AI security guidelines
- Build detection strategies that go beyond traditional NHI approaches

AI Users, Builders, and Agents: Securing the Next Generation of Identities

AI adoption in the cloud is surging, with over 70% of organizations using managed AI services—but security risks are growing just as fast. This latest report uncovers key trends, including the rapid rise of DeepSeek, widespread AI experimentation, and critical security gaps that organizations must address now.

AI Series: The State of AI in the Cloud

The cloud has redefined what is possible in technology, enabling organizations to move faster, scale effortlessly, and innovate without boundaries. Yet the cloud’s defining qualities of speed, scalability, and elasticity have outpaced traditional security models that were built for static, on-premises environments rather than dynamic digital ecosystems. The next phase of cloud security requires a mindset shift that embraces the cloud’s speed, scale, and ephemeral nature as the foundation of a more adaptive and intelligent defense strategy. 

This session explores the next stage in the evolution of cloud security, moving from fragmented visibility and static configuration checks toward real-time insight, automated investigation, and adaptive response. Attendees will learn how automation and AI can help teams embrace the ephemeral nature of the cloud, gaining clarity and control without slowing innovation. 

Participants will gain practical insight into assessing cloud security maturity, identifying visibility gaps, and understanding how intelligent automation enables security teams to analyze activity across thousands of assets, reconstruct events within minutes, and make faster, more confident decisions. We will also discuss how different layers of security, including posture management, threat detection, and incident response, work together to deliver a unified, adaptive approach to securing modern environments. 

The session will inspire participants to view the cloud’s dynamic nature as an opportunity to transform it into an ally in defense, rather than a source of endless complexity.

Redefining Cloud Security in the Era of AI and Automation

Security operations are entering a new era, where AI doesn’t just automate tasks, but understands context, collaborates, and learns. The foundation of this evolution is the Agentic System: a connected network of AI entities designed to make coordinated decisions in complex environments.

In this session, we’ll break down what an agentic system truly is—from its core components to how they operate in a dynamic security operations center. We’ll explore the architecture behind agentic personas, skills, tools, and memory, and show how their interplay leads to faster, smarter, and more predictive defense.

Through practical examples and security-specific use cases, you’ll see how agentic systems are transforming the way teams detect, analyze, and respond to threats, and how to start thinking about building agentic principles into your own environment.

Key Takeaways:
- What defines an Agentic System and why it represents a new model for SecOps
- What makes up an agentic persona and how they can collaborate for a greater outcome.
- How skills, tools, and memory operate in real-time as an agentic system and why this beats standalone automation.
- The outcomes agentic systems can deliver — speed, precision, foresight, and scalability
- Real-world examples of how agentic architectures are reshaping modern security operations

How to Find Your Most Critical Risks in the Cloud

MCP servers serve as the backbone that enables AI agents to access the tools, data, and context they need to operate.

By connecting these agents to everything from internal APIs and databases to third-party SaaS systems, MCP turns isolated AI models into fully capable, action-driven agents.

New research by Astrix Security analyzed more than 5,200 open-source MCP servers and surfaced systemic risks:
1. 53% rely on static API keys or PATs
2. Only 8.5% use OAuth applications
3. 79% pass keys via simple environment variables

In this webinar, we will unpack the data, methodology, and what it means for your attack surface.

To help tackle these challenges, Astrix introduces its new open-source MCP Secret Wrapper, a practical way to eliminate hardcoded credentials by fetching secrets from a vault at runtime.

In this session, you will learn how to apply the wrapper for quick wins, how to enforce least-privilege and short-lived access at scale, and how to align with compliance without slowing down your teams.

“What do we actually own in the cloud?” It’s a question security leaders ask every day—yet answers are rarely clear. 

In today’s cloud-driven world, assets, identities, and resources change faster than manual tracking can keep up, creating critical blind spots that attackers can exploit through misconfigurations or overprivileged accounts. For security operations, this speed demands an equally fast response. However, legacy asset management and siloed security tools often fall short, leaving gaps in visibility and costing precious minutes during detection and response.

Join us to see how modern SecOps can outpace attackers by unifying on-prem and cloud telemetry, identifying exposures inside and outside their firewall, and leveraging agentic AI and automation throughout detection, investigation, and response—ensuring cloud blind spots never become entry points.

Key Learnings:
• Why legacy asset management and manual processes can’t keep up with the speed of cloud
• The real risks behind inaccurate cloud inventories, invisible SaaS assets, and cloud exposures
• How AI and automation enable continuous discovery, faster detection, and smarter response in cloud security operations

Cloud Asset Blind Spots: Closing Gaps Before They're Exploited

You’re juggling multiple endpoints. Your remote workforce is creating security gaps. And identity attacks jumped 442% last year alone. In this webinar, you'll hear from Jason Kikta (CISO/SVP, Product at Automox) and Dmitri Alperovitch (Automox Chairman of the Board, co-founder of Crowdstrike) discuss pressing security concerns and real solutions, like:
- What’s actually happening in the current threat landscape
- How autonomous endpoint management eliminates security gaps
- Where Automox is headed next (Spoiler alert: It’s game-changing.)

State of Cybersecurity: A Reality Check

Every day, another AI “agent” for security operations emerges: a playbook runner, a data enricher, a script executor. But stitching together a few task-specific bots doesn’t solve the complex problems facing the SOC—it exacerbates them. On the other side, there’s this promise of an “Autonomous SOC” leveraging agents, but these generic systems don’t have the best understanding or oversight about your environment.

In this webinar, we’ll explore a more effective evolution: Autonomous, role-based, agentic AI personas. Join ReliaQuest President of Field Operations Colin O’Connor, ReliaQuest CTO Joe Partlow and guest speaker Forrester Principal Analyst Allie Mellen for a forward-looking conversation that cuts through the noise to uncover how agentic teammates reframe what’s possible for AI in the SOC. 

In this webinar, you'll learn:
• What distinguishes a task-based agent from a true teammate—and why that matters 
• The architecture of a hybrid human + AI SOC (and what it’s not: autonomous) 
• How to evaluate when to use agentic teammates—and when not to 
• What a future-ready operating model looks like in live use-case walkthroughs

The Case for Agentic Teammates: Moving Beyond Task Bots

The 2025 Identity Automation Crisis: What 500+ Leaders Exposed
Enterprises have never had more identity tools—SSO, password managers, privileged access controls, and governance platforms. On paper, the identity stack looks mature. But beneath the surface, a critical problem persists: the last mile of identity still runs on manual execution.

The new 2025 Identity Automation Gap Report, based on insights from 500+ IT and security leaders, shows just how wide the gap really is:
• 58% of former employees keep access to systems after leaving
• 41% still share passwords manually (yes, spreadsheets)
• Fewer than 4% of enterprises have fully automated core identity workflows

Join Matt Chiodi, CSO at Cerby, and Aaron Turner, Faculty at IANS, as they unpack what the data reveals and share practical ways to:
• Spot and close your biggest identity blind spots
• Extend automation to disconnected apps (without ripping out your stack)
• Turn manual execution into automated protection that’s secure, scalable, and resilient

As a central authentication service that processes billions of logins a month, credential stuffing attacks are the most common threats we observe. These attacks can lead to fraud, loss of reputation, and ultimately, loss of revenue.

In credential stuffing attacks, threat actors use stolen credentials from one breach to takeover users’ other accounts. This is effective because 65% of people reuse passwords across multiple accounts, according to Google. On some days, these attacks originate from more than 50,000 IP addresses and may account for as much as half of all login attempts using our platform. Even the most mature companies are vulnerable if they don’t have the right preventative measures in place.

Join Auth0's session to learn:
- How credential stuffing attacks work
- What effect they can have on your company
- How a multifaceted response can help detect and rapidly resolve these attacks

When talking about cloud it’s easy to fallback to that old joke that cloud is just someone else’s computer. Unfortunately it’s also easy to see it as Someone Else’s Problem (SEP). Ford Prefect, from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, said “An SEP is something we can't see, or don't see, or our brain doesn't let us see, because we think that it's somebody else's problem.”  In this session we examine what that means in the cloud and how we can avoid assuming our security is good enough.

Shared Responsibility: Someone Else’s Problem

Cloud security is a software engineering problem, not a security analysis one. The engineers that build and maintain cloud infrastructure need policy-as-code tools to ensure cloud security and compliance.
Open Policy Agent is an open source standard for policy-as-code that’s ideal for cloud infrastructure. 

In this talk, Josh Stella, cofounder and CTO at Fugue, will walk through how OPA works and how cloud engineering teams can leverage it for their use cases, including validating infrastructure-as-code and integrating cloud security into CI/CD pipelines.

• How OPA and the Rego policy language work for a variety of cloud security use cases
• How developers can check Terraform against policy with Regula, an open source tool that uses OPA
• How to use OPA with CI/CD tools to integrate cloud infrastructure security into automated delivery pipelines

Using OPA for Continuous Compliance with Cloud Infrastructure Policy-as-Code

Over recent years, security and compliance have been some of the top considerations when moving to the cloud. However, as Covid-19 has served as a transformation accelerator in many aspects of our digital life, cloud consumption is skyrocketing, and cloud transformations are booming. In order to achieve a sustainable cloud experience, it is now more important than ever, that security & compliance are not sacrificed for the speed of migration.
 
In this talk, we will not only investigate the current state of cloud security, but we will also elaborate on scenarios and capabilities that support organizations in rapidly and securely adopting the cloud, and in maintaining compliance once operating in the cloud.
