RSAC 2026 Conference Forecasts the Next 12 Months

This RSAC 2026 preview highlights an industry shift toward proactive, consolidated security—operationalizing Agentic AI for remediation and analyst augmentation, advancing software supply-chain validation beyond SBOMs, unifying IAM/PAM into an Identity Fabric for context-aware authorization, and simplifying stacks via single‑agent platforms that centralize telemetry and policy to reduce cost and MTTR; it also recommends must‑see sessions (AI, supply chain, identity) and spotlights a March 25 talk on using multi‑layer signals to defend expanding attack surfaces.
