The Network Isn't What You Think It Is: Securing an Environment Built for Machines (Nov. 12th)
Thursday, November 12th, 2026: 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM
This CISO Stories webcast will examine what network security looks like when the most consequential activity may no longer originate from a human user or a traditional endpoint.
Virtual
Security leaders will explore how to identify emerging trust relationships, uncover hidden paths between systems, constrain machine-to-machine access, and rethink segmentation, identity, and exposure management for a network increasingly built for autonomous activity.
Attendees will learn:
- Identify emerging network trust relationships created by AI agents, APIs, workloads, service accounts, and other nonhuman identities that may fall outside traditional visibility and control models.
- Evaluate hidden attack and access paths across cloud, application, identity, and network environments to understand how machine-to-machine activity can expand organizational exposure and blast radius.
- Apply modern network-security controls including identity-aware segmentation, least privilege, exposure management, and continuous validation to better govern autonomous activity at machine speed.
The enterprise network was designed around people, endpoints, and applications. That model is breaking down. AI agents, APIs, workloads, service accounts, cloud infrastructure, and other nonhuman identities now communicate and act at machine speed, often across environments traditional network controls were never designed to govern.
