ISG AI Impact Summit 2026

As organizations accelerate AI adoption, traditional security operations — built for human-paced decision-making — cannot keep pace with AI-driven threats, expanding attack surfaces, and evolving vulnerabilities. This creates a fundamental question: how must security organizations evolve?

This session examines the shift toward Agentic SOCs, autonomous threat hunting, and machine-speed response as more than technological advancement — they represent a reconceptualization of security's role in AI-driven organizations. Central to this transformation is a critical insight: governance, identity management, and trust must be embedded into AI initiatives from the start, not retrofitted later. This isn't about constraining innovation; it's about recognizing that security and scale are no longer opposing forces. We'll explore what this operating model looks like in practice, the organizational shifts it demands, and why this represents a strategic inflection point for enterprises navigating AI adoption.
