At this point, most people in the industry have heard about it, and many have been experimenting with it in different forms. The idea of systems that can

We are official
Check out my latest podcast with the famous TonyG around RSA: https://www.packet.zip/post/podcast-rsa-2026-recapSan Francisco's Moscone Center hosted (by what I could find online) 43,500 cybersecurity professionals last week. The one message I kept on hearing....AI...Agentic....Something....The con
RSA 2026 is over, the buzzwords are still echoing, and it is time to sort signal from noise.In this episode, "Tony G" and I break down the biggest cybersecurity themes, AI trends, vendor messaging, and practical takeaways from RSA Conference 2026 — with a focus on what actually matters for defenders
1. Model and AI Pipeline SecurityThe first area is what I’d call model and AI pipeline security.This is where a lot of the early focus has been — making sure the model itself, the data feeding it, and the overall pipeline are secure before anything ever gets deployed.These solutions are looking for
Human friendly Until It Isn'tAt first, they sounded perfectly human.Two AI agents exchanging polite, helpful sentences about booking a hotel. Dates. Cities. Room types. Small talk in clean, predictable English. Nothing unusual. Nothing alarming.And then something changed.A subtle handshake. A quiet

With Operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion unleashing airstrikes on Iranian targets, the digital front has seen a mix of disruptions, threats, and proxy activi
There’s a question that’s been sitting in the back of my mind lately.If we’re moving into a world where autonomous systems are planning, adapting, and executing actions with increasing independence… what does that actually mean for threat intelligence teams?I’m not asking this from a hype perspectiv
In conversations with people who are actually building and red teaming agentic systems, one theme keeps coming up: the failures they’re seeing don’t really look like prompt problems. They look like architectural ones.That framing matters, because it changes where attention goes. A lot of early work
For years, security teams learned how to protect systems that respond. Agentic AI introduces systems that decide.That difference sounds small at first. It isn’t.Most of today’s AI security conversation still treats models like tools: prompt in, response out, controls around the edges. Agentic syst
