Secure the Advantage: A CISO’s Guide to Agentic AI

CISOs are being asked to approve agentic AI use cases that didn't exist six months ago, often without a governance playbook, a risk model, or a peer benchmark to work from.

Jason Clinton, Deputy CISO at Anthropic, will break down how he evaluates the capability-versus-risk tradeoff at the center of every one of these decisions: which agentic capabilities are ready for enterprise deployment, which ones aren't, and what controls actually matter when the system you're governing can take actions on its own.

He'll use Claude Cowork, as one example of how governance primitives (scoped access, network egress controls, SIEM-routed telemetry, admin-paced rollout) can ship alongside the capabilities themselves. But the session goes beyond any single product. It's a working framework for how security leaders should be thinking about agent governance right now, with live Q&A throughout.
