DEF CON 34 Preview: Agentic AI Security Takes Center Stage at Hacker Summer Camp
DEF CON 34 lands in Las Vegas August 6-9, 2026 under the theme 'Agency' — a deliberate nod to agentic AI. Here is what to watch, why it matters, and how to prepare before you board the plane.
Agentic AI at RSAC 2026 vs Infosecurity Europe 2026: Two Continents, One Theme
RSAC 2026 in San Francisco and Infosecurity Europe 2026 in London both orbited agentic AI, shadow AI, and post-quantum cryptography. What changed across the Atlantic was the framing: market velocity versus regulation and sovereignty.
Agentic AI Security: Gartner Says Most AI-Agent Attacks Will Be Access-Control Failures
Gartner predicts that through 2029, more than half of successful attacks against AI agents will exploit access-control issues — with prompt injection as the delivery mechanism. Here's why that framing matters more than the headline number.
Agentic AI Security Took Center Stage: The OWASP GenAI Summit at Infosecurity Europe 2026
OWASP's first dedicated GenAI Security Summit at Infosecurity Europe put agentic AI security front and center, unveiling an Agentic Research Council and a maturity framework. Here's what actually mattered.
Agentic AI Security: Access Control Is the Whole Ballgame
Gartner expects most successful attacks on AI agents through 2029 to exploit access control, with prompt injection as the delivery mechanism. Here is why that single failure mode dominates agentic AI security, and what actually moves the needle.
Securing MCP Servers and Agent Skills in the Enterprise
MCP servers and agent skills give AI agents new power—and new attack surface. Here's how tool poisoning and rug-pull attacks work, and how to stop them.
RSAC 2026's Five Most Dangerous Attack Techniques: Every One Now Runs on AI
For the first time in the history of the SANS keynote, all five of the most dangerous new attack techniques carry an AI dimension — from AI-generated zero-days to your vendor's vendor's vendor. Here's the honest breakdown, plus what defenders should actually do.
RSAC 2026: Agentic AI, Shadow Tools, and the Quiet Return to the Endpoint
Agentic AI dominated RSA Conference 2026, but the harder story was shadow AI agents running unseen inside enterprises and a renewed scramble to secure the endpoint they live on.
Agentic AI Security Took Over RSAC 2026, Even as 'The Power of Community' Was the Theme
RSAC 2026 sold itself on community for its 35th year, but the real story was an agentic-AI reckoning: autonomous agents that act, get phished, and now beat most humans at capture-the-flag. Here is what actually mattered.
What is AI Agent Security
AI agent security explained: how autonomous AI agents get attacked through prompt injection, tool poisoning, and exposed MCP servers, and how to stop it.
AI Agent Security: 6 Risks Beyond Traditional Controls
Gartner projects a third of enterprise apps will run agentic AI by 2028. Here are six AI agent security risks traditional controls miss.
