Fortinet, Thursday, October 8th, 2026
Fortinet's SASE Summit 2026 recap covers AI agents as new users, networking-security convergence and sovereignty.
Fortinet's SASE Summit 2026 brought together experts from Gartner, Fortinet and others to discuss how secure access service edge must evolve as AI reshapes enterprise technology.
Key themes were AI adding autonomous agents as a new class of user, the need for tighter integration across networking, security, identity and operations, and sovereignty requirements forcing a rethink of where security services run and who controls them.
Fortinet frames this as a new phase for SASE centered on 'autonomous trust,' meaning appropriate, enforced trust for every person, device, application or agent.
