What CISOs Need To Know About Unified Agentic Defense Platforms
Live Executive Webinar | February 20, 2026 @ 9:00am CST / 10:00am EST | Virtual Event
Date: November 6th, 2025 | 6:15 - 9:15 PM PST
Location: Palio - 640 Sacramento St, San Francisco, California
An Exclusive, Invitation-Only Webinar for CISOs
As enterprises accelerate the adoption of AI agents, the security control plane is undergoing a fundamental shift. Human users, machine identities, and autonomous agents now operate side by side, often with overlapping privileges and AI and agentic centralized governance.
In this webinar, our very own Lawrence Pingree, Head of Data and AI Security at SACR. examines the emergence of Unified Agentic Defense Platforms (UADP) as the next emerging platform wave in cybersecurity. Drawing on recent market analysis, enterprise conversations, and early architectural patterns, the session will explore why fragmented tools are giving way to unified control planes that operate at machine speed. UADP emergence bridges the gap between AI, agents and their data.

An Analyst-Led Session, Not a Vendor Pitch
This webinar is not a vendor showcase. It is an independent, analyst-led conversation built on deep industry research and insights from the field.
No product pitches, no marketing spin. Just candid dialogue among CISOs who face the same challenges.
Grounded in objective analysis, the discussion focuses on what truly matters for large, complex organizations:
- Eliminating blind spots across cloud and on premises environments
- Aligning cloud security and SOC operations under a unified strategy
- Building resilient defenses in a rapidly evolving threat landscape
Our research is grounded in hundreds of conversations with security teams, buyers, and builders. If we say something, it’s because we’ve heard it firsthand.
Key Takeaways
By attending this webinar, you will learn how to:
Beyond the Limits of SIEM and CNAPP
Shift from reactive, log-heavy monitoring to a model built for the non-deterministic speed of AI. Traditional silos like SIEM and point solutions struggle with this at scale. UADPs fill this void by moving detection directly into the execution loop.
Creating Cohesive Defense Fabrics
Discover what unified actually looks like in 2026. By weaving identity context, data lineage, and runtime telemetry into the agentic workflow, you create a self-healing posture where security is an integral part of the agent’s DNA.
Moving from Reactive Detection to Real-Time Governance
Explore how UADPs use autonomous guardrails to enforce rules of engagement, ensuring that AI agents stay within defined operational boundaries and ethical frameworks, stopping mal-action before it impacts production.
Transforming Fragmented Signals into High-Fidelity Action
Learn how to eliminate response lag by automating triage and enrichment, allowing human analysts to focus on high-level risk orchestration while the UADP handles the machine-speed containment of threats.
Strategic Evaluation
in a Supersaturated Market
Identify the early signals that distinguish true UADP innovation from rebranded legacy suites. This is your playbook for evaluating vendors and future-proofing your security stack.
What to Expect
Independent Insights into the 2026 Defense Landscape
Get an objective look at why the industry is moving toward Unified Agentic Defense Platforms. We’ll strip away the vendor hype to examine research-backed trends on why unifying identity, data, and runtime isn’t just nice to have, but a requirement for securing autonomous agentic systems.
Direct Strategy Discussion with Security Leaders
Join a structured dialogue with fellow CISOs on the practicalities of upgrading your security stack. We will move past high-level concepts to discuss the specific criteria you should be evaluating right now, focusing on:
Solving the non-human identity (NHI) crisis.
Embedding detection into the agentic loop.
Moving from siloed tools to a unified defense fabric.
Real-Time Answers for Complex Security Transitions
Engage in a live, Q&A session designed to address your specific hurdles. Whether you’re worried about Shadow Agents or the legalities of autonomous response, this is your space to challenge the UADP framework and get direct, expert feedback on your 2026 roadmap.
