a very cyber image (Gemini)But this year at RSA 2026, I’m speaking on three topics: securing AI, using AI for SOC, and sharing lessons about how Google applies AI and other technologies to D&R.
Here are these 3 fun things!
First, I’m doing a presentation on governing shadow AI agents. Believe it or not, this presentation was created mostly before OpenClaw became a thing (but updated for it!). So you may be surprised how well the content aged (think wine!) Attend this if you are struggling with shadow AI, specifically shadow agents at work.
Shadow Agents: A Pragmatist’s Guide to Governing Unsanctioned AI — [STR-W08]
It is not the APT! The new threat is the “shadow AI agents” employees already use for work, leaking data and making decisions. Banning them is a losing game. This session will offer a better way: turn this organic behavior into a catalyst for secure progress. Learn to discover, assess, and channel unsanctioned agents into a formal strategy that empowers a team rather than force it underground.
The second is probably the most detailed discussion about how we use AI for detection and response at Google. You probably read our blogs and listen to our talks (especially this), but this time we are revealing a lot more interesting details about the machinery and also how we arrived at the state we’re in. I promise you this will be fun! And detailed too.
This Is How We Do It: Building AI Agents for Cybersecurity and Defense — [PART3-M07]
Presenters will share the playbook for building and scaling AI agents in cybersecurity. Attendees will learn four core lessons: Building trust with the team, prioritizing real problems, measuring value, and establishing solid governance foundations for the agentic SOC.
Finally, the third isn’t a presentation but a discussion that would help you understand the real state of AI in security operations / SOC. This would not be about the slides, but about sharing lessons on what works and what doesn’t.
AI in SecOps: Sharing Lessons Learned for Adoption Maturity — [CXN-R05]
Attendees in this peer-led discussion will share stories from the AI-powered SOC trenches. Explore real adoption journeys from manual processes to autonomous agents. Share practical use cases on analyst retraining, workflow auditing, malware analysis, remediation automation, RAG pipelines and more. Trade notes on what’s working, what’s breaking, trust gaps, AI hallucinations, and career redesign.
All in all, join me for securing AI and Shadow Agents, learning from Google about detection and response, and comparing the state of practice of AI in the SOC.
See you there!
P.S. Yes, we will also be podcasting from the show.

AI is entering organisations faster than the security controls designed
to govern it.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming embedded across organisations.
AI assistants are now writing code, summarising documents, analysing data,
and supporting operational decisions.
What began as experimentation is quickly becoming operational
dependency.
For security teams, the challenge is not simply adopting AI. The real
challenge is understanding how AI changes the way cybersecurity controls
need to be validated.
In many organisations, AI tools are already interacting with corporate
data, internal systems, and operational workflows.
Yet when security leaders ask a simple question
“How do we know these AI systems are operating within our control
boundaries?”
…the answer is often less clear than expected.
Why AI Security Controls Are Different
Traditional software behaves in predictable ways. Security teams can audit
code, validate configuration, monitor logs, and confirm whether controls are
operating as intended.
AI systems behave differently.
Modern AI models generate probabilistic outputs rather than deterministic
ones. The same prompt may produce different responses, models can evolve
through updates, and outputs may influence decisions that were never
explicitly coded into the system.
This creates a shift in how security controls need to be assessed.
Controls designed for traditional systems do not always translate neatly
into AI-driven environments.
Examples are already appearing in practice:
In many cases, organisations technically have policies that cover these
scenarios.
The real challenge is proving those policies are actually effective in
practice.
The Growing Problem of Shadow AI
Just as “Shadow IT” emerged when employees adopted unsanctioned cloud
services, many organisations are now experiencing Shadow AI.
Employees are increasingly using AI tools independently to improve
productivity. These tools often bypass procurement processes, security
reviews, and governance frameworks
Common examples include:
From a security perspective, this creates several unknowns.
Organisations may not know:
The result is a widening gap between policy intent and operational
reality.
AI Governance Without Visibility
Many organisations have already responded to AI risk by introducing
policies, governance groups, or internal guidance.
These are important foundations.
But policy alone does not create assurance.
The real question is whether organisations can demonstrate that controls
around AI usage are actually working.
That means being able to answer questions such as:
Without measurable answers, AI governance risks becoming another form of
dashboard compliance.
Controls may appear compliant on paper but lack operational
validation.
Moving Toward Practical AI Security Assurance
Organisations that are managing AI adoption successfully are beginning to
treat AI risk in the same way they treat other critical security
controls.
The focus shifts from policy statements to evidence, monitoring, and
validation.
Practical steps increasingly include:
These measures do not remove risk entirely.
But they shift the conversation from:
“Do we have an AI policy?” to the far more important question
“Can we prove our AI controls are working?
The Next Cybersecurity Challenge
Every major technology shift has forced organisations to rethink how
security controls are validated.
Cloud computing did. DevOps did. SaaS platforms did. AI is now doing the same.
The organisations that manage this transition successfully will not
necessarily be those that deploy AI the fastest.
They will be the ones that understand how to measure and validate the
controls surrounding it.
Because in cybersecurity, the most important question is rarely whether a
control exists.
The real question is whether it works.

AI-based assistants or "agents" -- autonomous programs that have access to the user's computer, files, online services and can automate virtually any task -- are growing in popularity with developers and IT workers. But as so many eyebrow-raising headlines over the past few weeks have shown, these powerful and assertive new tools are rapidly shifting the security priorities for organizations, while blurring the lines between data and code, trusted co-worker and insider threat, ninja hacker and novice code jockey.
