We’re excited we brought security leaders together for a casual dinner and networking session in Dallas. We discussed emerging security challenges in the agentic AI era, and enjoyed some great conversation.
This session was hosted by Francis Odum, Founder and Chief Cybersecurity Analyst at Software Analyst Cyber Research, and Aqsa Taylor, Chief Research Officer.
We also had Lawrence Pingree join as our guest speaker, to share his research and insights from our Unified Agentic Defense Platforms report and open up a discussion on why cloud runtime is becoming a core focus for security teams. Lawrence has 25+ years of experience in security and technology. He spent more than a decade at Gartner, where he worked across global teams studying how emerging technologies influence security strategy.
