SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Akto, the leader in AI Agent Security, will host Aktonomy Fall '26, the second edition of its agentic AI security summit, virtually on October 27, 2026, starting at 11:30 AM ET.

Built for CISOs and security leaders, the one-day virtual AI Security summit features eleven sessions on building a secure, governed AI future. The program follows the decisions security teams face as they plan their 2027 roadmaps: who owns AI security, which controls come first, and how to govern agents that act with employee identities and access company data.

"The AI threat landscape changed fast in 2026. Agents gained access to production systems, personal AI agents are entering enterprise now, and most security programs were built for neither," said Ankita Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO of Akto. "Aktonomy is about closing that gap with lessons from CISOs who are already doing it."

Agenda:

Opening Keynote: State of Agentic AI Risk (11:30 AM ET).
The biggest risks emerging as AI agents land in enterprise products, and where security teams are most exposed.

Panel: Who Owns AI Security? How to Build an AI Security and Governance Team (11:45 AM ET).
A single agent can use an employee's identity, retrieve sensitive data and run a cloud operation in one workflow. This panel covers how responsibility should work across AppSec, IAM, cloud security and governance teams, and who sets policy, approves exceptions and responds when something goes wrong.

AI Runtime Guardrails and Defense: How to Control What AI Agents Do (12:45 PM ET).
Reading one customer record is different from exporting an entire database. This session covers turning those distinctions into policies that apply while an agent is working.

Panel: Shadow AI Risks and Security Strategy (1:15 PM ET).
 Finding an unsanctioned AI application is only the beginning. Panelists discuss mapping the MCP servers, plugins and credentials behind it, and tracking how exposure changes each time an employee adds an integration.

AI Agent Identity: The New IAM Risk (2:00 PM ET).
When an agent acts through an employee's account, security teams need to tell the agent's actions apart from the person's own work. The session covers how much access an agent should inherit, applying least privilege, and revoking agent access without disrupting the user.

Panel: The CISO's Minimum Viable AI Security Program (2:30 PM ET).
With one quarter to establish a program, panelists discuss what should be operational, which controls deserve the first investment, and what evidence leadership should see.

Personal AI Agents Have Entered Your Organization. Who's in Control? (3:30 PM ET).
A personal agent asked to investigate a support issue may read tickets, search internal documents and inspect code, crossing browsers, local files and company applications. This session covers how enterprises can discover, govern and set boundaries for that access.

Panel: The Connected AI Ecosystem: Building, Scaling and Securing Enterprise AI (4:00 PM ET).
Enterprise AI workflows depend on many platforms, frameworks and tools. The discussion covers where security controls should sit across them, how permissions carry through a workflow, and what to expect from AI partners.

The AI Security Control Plane: Discover, Test, Govern and Protect (4:45 PM ET).
The day's themes come together in the capabilities needed to identify AI assets, test their behavior, govern their use and protect them at runtime.

Five Predictions for AI Security in 2027 (5:15 PM ET).
The technologies, risks and security practices expected to shape AI security next year.

Aktonomy Fall '26 starts at 11:30 AM ET on Oct 27, Tuesday and ends at 5:30 PM ET. Register at www.akto.io/aktonomy-fall-2026. Be part of the AI Security conversation joined by 1000s of security leaders at Aktonomy.
