"Vendor after vendor, conversation after conversation, the same word kept surfacing: agents. Cisco announced MCP policy enforcement and agent discovery, while CrowdStrike launched AI agent discovery across endpoints, SaaS, and cloud."
"Sixty-three percent of organizations cannot enforce purpose limitations on their AI agents. Sixty percent cannot terminate an agent that's misbehaving. Fifty-five percent cannot isolate AI systems from their broader networks."
"The industry has arrived at a shared diagnosis. The question that kept coming up in our booth conversations was sharper: Where does governance actually belong?"
At RSAC 2026, a consensus emerged among vendors and security leaders regarding the significance of agents in cybersecurity. Major companies like Cisco, CrowdStrike, and Palo Alto Networks introduced new technologies emphasizing agentic AI. Despite the widespread adoption of agentic AI, significant governance challenges remain. Research indicates that 100% of organizations have agentic AI on their roadmap, yet many struggle with basic containment controls, such as enforcing purpose limitations and terminating misbehaving agents. A notable percentage of organizations are planning autonomous workflow agents that operate independently.
