As an AppSec leader building out our AI agent security program, I’m constantly looking for real-world insights. By luck I was in New York when the first AI Agent Security Summit took place, and it exceeded my expectations. Talks covered persistence, lateral movement, and runtime defenses — not just theory.

The next one is in San Francisco on October 8. I’m making the trip from Austin this time. It’s a small summit, but the speaker lineup looks excellent, so I figured I’d spread the word for folks in the Bay Area who may not have heard about it.
