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.
