Securing Agentic AI

AI is built for speed and action. That’s its promise and its greatest risk. Because when speed and action are the point, safety becomes an afterthought. Without friction, agents can transfer money. Without oversight, agents can call national security systems. Without control, agents can reach patient records.

For the high-assurance organizations RSA serves, failing to secure AI isn’t inconvenient. It’s catastrophic. The risks that agents pose are simply too consequential: organizations that fail to secure agentic AI face greater risks, higher financial losses, and major business disruptions:

  • Agents outnumber human users by a factor of 79:1
  • Breaches involving shadow AI—unapproved AI tools employees use without oversight—more than doubled between 2025 and 2026
  • Incidents involving shadow AI cost $5.39 million, or $400,000 more than the average data breach

Keynote: How to Govern and Control AI Agents
Roy Singh, RSA AI Advisor; CEO, KORZA

AI agents can now operate autonomously and pursue goals across multiple steps, but most organizations can’t yet answer who owns them or who can stop them. This is becoming an identity and authorization problem—and as agents grow more autonomous, governance may become a bigger constraint than compute or model capability. This keynote unpacks what it takes to close the gap: knowing every agent, assigning ownership, and keeping humans accountable for consequential decisions.

Panel Discussion: Europe’s AI Advantage

The pursuit of AI dominance is often framed as a contest between the US and China, but Europe is not playing the same game. With world-class research institutions, deep industrial expertise, and a growing ecosystem, Europe has the ingredients for a different kind of AI leadership: one built on trust, technical depth, and long-term value rather than scale alone. This session examines what Europe’s genuine strengths are, where the gaps remain, and how to turn a distinctive set of assets into a credible position on the global AI stage.

Panel Discussion: Securing the AI Supply Chain in a Divided World

Compute power has become the new oil. It’s scarce, strategic, and deeply political. As global supply chains tighten and export controls expand, how can nations ensure fair and resilient access to the resources that power AI? Unpack how to navigate GPU shortages, regional cloud policies, and the geopolitics shaping the next decade of AI development.
