The Future of AI Security
The Future of AI Security

2026 was the year AI agents got deployed. 2027 is the year AI security gets owned, budgeted, and audited.

The pilots are in production. The agents have credentials. Now someone has to put a name against the risk, a line item against the spend, and evidence in front of an auditor.

Aktonomy Fall ’26 brings security leaders together to tackle the questions that come next.

Eleven sessions with CISOs making these decisions now, covering org structure, first controls, framework mapping, and what they’d do differently.
