Agentic Security and Governance at RSAC and Kubecon
Blog post from AuthZed
As the 2026 conference season commences, the RSAC and KubeCon events are set to take place simultaneously, highlighting the convergence of security and platform engineering discussions with a strong focus on artificial intelligence (AI). Both conferences are emphasizing authorization as a crucial component for AI, particularly agentic AI, due to the significant barriers posed by security, data privacy, compliance, and regulatory challenges, as outlined in Omdia's report on enterprise AI project failures. With AI recognized as essential and heavily invested in, the need for securing AI projects to prevent breaches and legal issues is critical for their success. Notable sessions at RSAC are expected to cover AI governance and security frameworks such as Forrester's AEGIS for managing agentic AI, alongside discussions on securing the MCP protocol. Networking opportunities at these events offer a chance for professionals to engage with peers and discuss emerging challenges and solutions in AI and security.
