The Rise of
Agentic AI Security
Agentic AI is moving fast – and most orgs are still trying to make sense of it. Let’s bring together the builders and defenders asking the right questions, compare notes, and push the conversation forward.
Limited to 500 live participants. Reserve your spot early!
Overview
As autonomy becomes embedded in infrastructure, the implications for identity, control, risk — and the way software behaves in general — are as unclear as ever.
The second-annual NHIcon is designed for precisely this moment — when the stakes around agentic AI are rising, but the future feels uncertain and uncomfortable.
Whether you are actively working on your approach or simply trying to understand what tomorrow might bring, NHIcon offers a place to think clearly and act with conviction.
Agentic AI is moving faster than any rulebook can keep up. If you’re not totally sure what it means yet — welcome. Let’s figure it out together and arm you with the knowledge to take action.
Who Should Attend?
NHIcon 2026 will convene the professionals accountable for and advancing the shift to agentic AI , including:
• Security engineers and practitioners
• Platform, DevOps, infrastructure engineers
• Developers and ML builders
• Identity architects
• Policy and governance leaders
• Incident responders and threat analysts
• Compliance, risk, and governance officers
• CISOs, CIOs, and CTOs shaping their organization’s agentic AI strategy
If your title or role doesn’t fit neatly into one of those buckets, that’s fine – if you care, you belong.
We’ll run two tracks: one focused on how agentic software is developed, architected, and deployed (Builders), the other on how to secure it (Guardians).
Expect practical talks, candid discussions, and lessons drawn from real experience.

Agenda
This year’s NHIcon goes deeper than ever into the realities of securing agentic AI – with two parallel tracks designed to meet you where you are.
Both tracks will feature keynotes, panels, and lightning sessions from the minds shaping the next generation of identity and security.
The full agenda drops in November – stay tuned!
The Builders Track
For practitioners, researchers, and engineers working hands-on with AI agents, APIs, and identity systems. Expect deep technical dives, live demos, and frameworks for securing agentic architectures in real-world environments.
The Guardians Track
For CISOs, security leaders, and strategists navigating the organizational and risk implications of agentic AI. Explore governance, policy design, and cross-team alignment needed to protect enterprises as AI becomes autonomous.
