Is Agentic AI the source of radically positive business transformation or your greatest insider threat?

Yes to both questions.

Gartner estimates that by 2028 as much as 15% of all business decisions will be made by agentic AI. But that estimate may be off by several factors, given that Cisco's own research shows network traffic growing at a 40% Y/Y clip.

Unfortunately research also shows that organizations are by and large unprepared for both agentic AI's opportunities as well as its dangers.

In this webinar, Matt Caulfield, VP of Product for Duo and Identity at Cisco, will discuss strategies employed by different CISOs who are actively revamping their security postures to protect—and protect against—their organizations' agentic AI

This webinar will examine

How to see agentic AI as a different entity, requiring purpose-built security.
The challenges that agentic AI poses to traditional IAM and security controls.
Why traditional RBAC (role-based access control) doesn't work for agents and why more granular, time-bound, context-aware alternatives do.
How CISOs are thinking about addressing the agentic problem in their environments.
