Contact UsAs enterprises rapidly adopt agentic AI across cloud environments, security leaders are confronting a fundamental shift in cloud security architecture. Autonomous AI agents are no longer limited to passive assistance—they can reason, make decisions, invoke tools, access sensitive cloud resources, and execute complex workflows independently at machine speed. This evolution is redefining identity, governance, detection, and response in the modern cloud enterprise.
This year’s Cloud Security Exchange eBook brings together security experts from Google Cloud, Microsoft, AWS, and SANS Institute to explore how organizations can securely operationalize agentic AI in cloud environments. This ebook examines the emerging security risks introduced by autonomous AI systems and the architectural changes required to defend cloud infrastructures against a rapidly expanding non-human attack surface.
Join the 5th annual SANS Cloud Security Exchange—a one-of-a-kind virtual event where cloud and cybersecurity experts from SANS Institute, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft will come together to share thought leadership and technical insights.
