Zenity AI Agent Security Summit 2026: San Francisco
ON-DEMAND
AI Agent Security Summit
Security in the Agentic Era Starts in San Francisco
Last October's AI Agent Security Summit was the largest one to date - This May, it returned to San Francisco at a watershed moment in the AI revolution. The agentic attack surface has changed rapidly in a frighteningly short time span; the emergent risks of shadow AI, frameworks like the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications, or the adoption of new open-source tools like OpenClaw have shifted the conversation. See the content from the Commonwealth Club on May 27 to catch up on what's new, what's noise, and what's next.
What's Changed in 2026
Developments in agent adoption in the last six months have fundamentally changed the conversation around purpose-built security.
Autonomous Security
Emergent tools like Anthropic's Claude Mythos and OpenAI's GPT-5.5 have made traditional vulnerability management roles more operational. Security practitioners and decision-makers are forced to re-think how their teams will take ownership moving forward.
Democratized Agents
Wide spread adoption of open source programs like ClawHub allow attackers to prey on the same tools and connectors that make agents so useful. With skills becoming more useful to developers by the day, MCP servers have continued to manifest as a predominant attack surface
Security Shared Ownership
When AI mandates come from company leadership, deployment starts in development teams, and agents start using identities and permissions of internal employees, the security responsibility no longer belongs to the SOC alone. Security leaders have to take ownership over the success and potential risk introduced by enterprise AI.
