Aktonomy Fall '26: The Agentic AI Security Summit

On October 27, 2026, Akto will be hosting the much-anticipated Aktonomy Fall '26, the second edition of its Agentic AI Security Summit. This virtual event aims to bring together industry leaders and security professionals to explore the pressing challenges and strategies surrounding AI security in the contemporary landscape.

Event Overview

Starting at 11:30 AM ET, Aktonomy Fall '26 will focus on the landscape of AI security, particularly as it pertains to Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and security leaders. The summit will feature eleven informative sessions designed to provide insights into building a secure and governed AI future. Key discussions will center around the decisions security teams will need to make as they prepare for their 2027 roadmap, including ownership of AI security, priority controls, and governance strategies for AI agents managing employee identities and accessing sensitive company data.

A Shift in the AI Threat Landscape

Ankita Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO of Akto, highlighted the rapidly changing AI threat environment that emerged in 2026. She mentioned that agents have started accessing production systems, and personal AI agents are infiltrating enterprises without a proper security framework. According to Gupta, "Aktonomy is about closing that gap with lessons from CISOs who are already doing it." This assertion strengthens the summit's relevance in today’s digital security dialogue.
