Agentic AI Threats & SOC Autonomy

Login to register
Webcast Hero

Thank You To Our Sponsor

Agentic AI is changing security operations faster than most SOC teams can adapt. Automation promised to lift the alert burden, but for many organizations it simply changed the shape of the workload, trading manual triage for new questions about how much autonomy to hand an AI agent in production.

On November 4, 2026 at 10:30 AM EST, SANS Instructor Dave Shackleford and Palo Alto Product Marketing Principal lead Jane Goh will share new survey data on how security teams are responding to this shift, from detecting agentic threats like prompt injection and non-human identity compromise to the barriers still stalling SOC autonomy.

The session will cover:

  • How practitioners are identifying and prioritizing agentic AI threats, including agentic swarms and shadow AI agents
  • What is slowing the move toward autonomous SOC operations
  • How teams weigh the tradeoffs of letting AI act independently in production, without a human in the loop
  • How organizations plan to reshape analyst roles as AI absorbs more of the daily workload
