RSAC 2026, Exploring Cybersecurity Innovation Through Artificial Intelligence and Community Power

RSAC 2026 Cybersecurity Conference is taking place this week in San Francisco, with artificial intelligence as a core topic. However, security leaders need to explore effective ways to operate AI in increasingly complex environments. Currently, most organizations have integrated AI into certain parts of their security tech stacks, but large-scale, effective AI deployment remains limited. This year’s RSAC will feature lively discussions on AI application topics.

Notably, the theme keyword for this year’s conference is “The Power of Community,” which is particularly meaningful as it coincides with AI agents becoming a focal point. The security industry has historically grown through collaboration and information sharing, and now, an era is arriving where machine-based agents replace humans in executing tasks. Experts emphasize that the introduction of agents should aim to complement security teams’ work.

Additionally, discussions around AI Security Operations Centers (AI SOCs) will continue. The potential for AI to perform automated investigations, isolation, patch management, and other tasks is increasing. Management stresses the need to build AI application environments that reduce operational friction without increasing risk.

Meanwhile, Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) are eager to leverage AI technology for economic benefits and are rapidly adopting automation. The importance of Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) and trusted data utilization is repeatedly highlighted. Strategies are needed to tailor CTEM solutions for different industries and use cases to improve security efficiency.

In the AI era, cyber resilience should not remain just a concept but must become an actionable capability. Security teams should follow the framework established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), adopting systematic approaches across prediction and response, recovery, and adaptation phases. Fully integrating AI in this context will enable security processes to respond quickly and effectively.
