AI agents powered by the Model Context Protocol (MCP) are reshaping how enterprises work — coordinating tasks, integrating with tools and making autonomous decisions at scale. But the very power that makes MCP so transformative also makes it dangerous. Attackers don’t need to break your infrastructure; they just need to trick your AI. From prompt injections and impersonated services to excessive privilege and compromised “trusted” tools, MCP introduces a new class of vulnerabilities that can quietly erode revenue, trust and compliance.

Traditional security controls aren’t designed for this environment. AI agents move fast, interpret loosely and can be manipulated in ways legacy defenses can’t detect. The question isn’t whether MCP-enabled agents can be exploited — it’s how quickly adversaries will take advantage.

In this session, we’ll demystify MCP, expose the top security gaps it creates and share a practical security playbook for containing AI risk. Whether you’re an executive asking “what’s the business impact?” or a practitioner asking “how do I defend it?”, you’ll walk away with a clear roadmap for securing your agentic future.

You’ll learn:

● How MCP works — and why it’s becoming the backbone of agentic AI.
● The most common and dangerous ways AI agents can be tricked.
● Security strategies to control agent “agency” and prevent rogue behavior.
● What leaders must do now to protect AI-powered systems before attackers strike.

Join us to uncover the hidden risks in MCP — and how to defend your AI before it makes a decision you can’t take back.

Can your AI Be Tricked? Exposing the Security Gaps in MCP

AI systems are no longer theoretical targets — they’re already being exploited. From jailbreaks and prompt injections to data leaks and agent manipulation, attackers are using simple language to probe and break systems once thought secure. Traditional pentesting can’t keep pace with this reality. AI behaves unpredictably, its vulnerabilities change with context and every new update or integration introduces fresh risk.

In this session, we’ll explore why AI needs an entirely new red teaming playbook. You’ll hear real-world evidence of how even the most advanced models fail under adversarial testing, and why continuous red teaming — across models, applications and agents — is now essential. We’ll break down how red teaming works in practice, from simulating guardrail bypasses and data exfiltration to uncovering context-driven flaws that only appear in deployment.

You’ll learn:

● Why AI’s nondeterministic nature breaks the old red-teaming model.
● The most common attack vectors enterprises face today.
● How vulnerabilities differ in models, applications and agents.
● How continuous red teaming builds confidence for developers, executives and customers alike.

Join us to see how AI red teaming turns hidden flaws into actionable insights — helping you protect your business before attackers exploit the gaps.

Red Teaming Your AI Systems Before Attackers Do

Generative AI is transforming how businesses innovate — but it also opens the door to risks that only surface once systems go live. Even rigorously trained models can harbor hidden flaws that attackers exploit through prompt injection, jailbreaks, tool misuse or data exfiltration. These aren’t rare edge cases — organizations have already suffered financial loss, compliance penalties and reputational damage from AI failures.

In this webinar, we’ll show why static testing and traditional tools can’t keep pace with adaptive AI systems. You’ll learn:

• How vulnerabilities emerge when chatbots and agents interact with real users.
• Real-world cases where runtime attacks disrupted operations and eroded trust.
• Why legacy security methods fail to block AI-specific threats.
• A practical framework for runtime protection using inspection, monitoring and adaptive defenses.
• How Prisma AIRS™ AI Runtime Security delivers broad detection and low-latency safeguards without slowing innovation.

Join us to see how runtime protection transforms AI from an unpredictable risk into a trusted, resilient business enabler.

When Hidden Flaws Surface: Securing AI at Runtime

AI is a powerful driver of innovation, but it can introduce an invisible risk: unintentional data leaks. These leaks are often self-inflicted when employees, customers or partners unintentionally expose sensitive data through AI tools. Systems can remember, replicate and resurface confidential information in unexpected ways, leaving organizations vulnerable without a clear forensic trail. The ultimate risk isn’t just fines or a breach notification, but a profound loss of trust from customers, regulators and boards.

In this webinar, we'll shift the conversation from a technical problem to a trust-driven business imperative. You'll learn:

● Why traditional security models fail.
● The most common ways sensitive data slips into and out of AI systems.
● How to build a proactive AI governance strategy with real-time visibility and automated guardrails.
● How to accelerate AI adoption safely. 

Join us to move beyond reactive security and create a responsible AI framework that lets you innovate confidently.

When AI Leaks: Containing and Preventing Sensitive Data Leaks

AI is redefining what’s possible, with over 78% of global enterprises having integrated it into their operations. However, only 6% have an advanced AI security strategy framework. To compensate, many organizations are putting AI guardrails in place, hoping to seal security gaps without slowing innovation.

In this webinar, we'll expose the "guardrail trap" — the reason why these traditional mechanisms often fail under real-world pressure. Drawing on recent examples, we'll show you how adversaries exploit fragmented standards and risky design decisions, turning a "lethal trifecta" of external data, permissive tools and broad access rights into a major liability. 

You’ll leave with a clear framework for avoiding the guardrail trap — and a view into how Prisma AIRS™ can help your organization build AI systems that aren’t just functional, but resilient, compliant and trustworthy.

The Guardrail Trap: Why Existing AI Security Strategies Aren't Enough

Modern data centers face an unprecedented series of security challenges - an increasingly intense threat environment, new threat vectors and risks from every AI app, and the "East-West blind spot," where threats move laterally between servers, completely invisible to traditional perimeter firewalls. This problem grows exponentially in distributed, multi-site environments, where maintaining a consistent security posture often seems impossible.

Join experts from Arista and Palo Alto Networks to understand a unified solution that solves these challenges without requiring a complex network redesign. Learn how the Arista data center fabric intelligently steers traffic to the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall for deep, Layer 7 inspection, with policy then enforced at wire speed directly in the network.

This session will demonstrate how this integrated solution:
● Eliminates the East-West blind spot in a single data center.
● Extends to provide a single, consistent security policy across a multi-site environment using a single, seamless management experience
● Avoids common multi-site issues like asymmetric routing and inefficient traffic "tromboning."

Discover how to build a scalable, consistent, and automated Zero Trust strategy for your entire data center infrastructure.

Comprehensive Data Center Security for the Age of AI

Attackers are fully focused on utilizing the identity when infiltrating organizations through their endpoints. Most security teams are still fighting these threats with disconnected tools, creating dangerous blind spots that let threats slip through undetected.

Don’t let siloed security create blind spots. Join us for this webinar where our speakers, Niels van Bennekom from CyberArk, and Nadav Shai Kanon from Palo Alto Networks, will walk through the importance of breaking down silos in your organization’s security to protect the identity at the endpoint.

What you’ll learn:
● The risks organizations face through approaching endpoint protection and security in a siloed manner.
● What a defense-in-depth strategy looks like when protecting endpoints.
● How to transform your organization’s endpoint security from reactive to proactive with solution integrations.
