RSA 2026 Cybersecurity Trends: AI, Agentic AI & What Actually Matters

Everyone at RSA was talking about AI. But very few were talking about what actually matters. In this episode, I’m joined by DJ, Field CTO at Xalient to break down what really came out of RSA 2026 - beyond the buzzwords, hype, and vendor noise. We get into: Why “agentic AI” is being misunderstood across the industry The biggest gap most organisations have right now (hint: it’s visibility) Why vendors are overpromising - and what buyers should actually focus on The missing conversations around governance, intent, and control And why AI should be treated less like software… and more like a digital workforce This isn’t a hype conversation. It’s a reality check. If you’re trying to make sense of AI in cybersecurity - what matters, what doesn’t, and where to actually start - this is one you don’t want to miss.
