Day two of RSA Conference in San Francisco featured a high‑energy panel with leaders from Nvidia, Cerebras and Glean, moderated by security veteran Dr. Cheny Wang. The discussion centered on the rapid rise of agentic AI in the enterprise, highlighting how chip makers and pure‑software firms are intertwining to create a new AI‑driven stack for search, automation and security. The panelists agreed that security professionals can no longer wait for perfect controls; they must deploy imperfect infrastructure, gather feedback, and iterate—essentially a DevOps‑style MVP approach. Techstrong’s own experiment with internal AI agents was described as a "Cambrian explosion" of ideas, with teams working nights and weekends, treating the technology like a potent, almost addictive drug. Memorable moments included Wang’s claim that AI agents are "like drugs, but healthier," and the notion of "human at the helm"—a shift from low‑level bug hunting to high‑level governance, requirements, and trust. She also stressed that personality, reputation, and human relationships will continue to differentiate analysts, creators, and venture capitalists despite the rise of AI‑generated content. The implications are clear: security teams must embed rapid experimentation into their culture, content producers need authentic voices to stand out, and VCs must balance AI‑driven analytics with gut instinct and personal trust when allocating capital. Those who fail to adopt this agentic mindset risk being left behind in an accelerating AI revolution.
