Introduction
Aktonomy Fall ’26 is a virtual summit dedicated to the security challenges surrounding agentic AI systems. Hosted by Akto, the event targets CISOs, security leaders, application security engineers, DevSecOps practitioners and governance, risk and compliance teams. As organisations move agentic AI from pilot programmes into production environments, the summit addresses the operational and regulatory questions that emerge when autonomous systems hold credentials and make decisions independently.
About This Event
The summit comprises eleven sessions featuring security executives who are actively navigating agentic AI governance within their organisations. The programme is structured around practical experience rather than theoretical discussion, with CISOs sharing insights on decisions they have made and approaches they would reconsider. Previous editions of Aktonomy have drawn over 1,200 security leaders, establishing the event as a gathering point for professionals working at the intersection of AI deployment and enterprise security.
Securing Autonomous Systems in Production
The transition from agentic AI pilots to production deployments introduces security considerations that differ substantially from traditional application security. When AI agents operate with credentials and the authority to execute actions autonomously, organisations must establish clear accountability for the risks these systems introduce. This includes determining who owns the risk when an agent makes a consequential decision, how spending on AI security controls is justified, and what evidence auditors will require.
Aktonomy Fall ’26 addresses these questions directly. Sessions cover the organisational structures that security teams are implementing to govern agentic systems, the initial controls being deployed to manage agent behaviour, and the frameworks being used to map AI-specific risks to existing compliance requirements. The focus on framework mapping is particularly relevant as organisations seek to demonstrate that their AI governance aligns with established security and privacy standards.
Who Should Attend
The summit is designed for security professionals responsible for AI governance decisions. CISOs and security leaders will find value in peer perspectives on organisational design and executive accountability. Application security and DevSecOps engineers can gain insight into the technical controls being implemented around agentic systems. GRC teams will benefit from discussions on audit preparation and framework alignment, particularly as regulatory expectations around AI continue to develop.
Industry Context
The rapid deployment of agentic AI across enterprise environments has outpaced the development of standardised security practices. Unlike conventional software, agentic systems can take actions with real-world consequences based on their own reasoning, creating novel attack surfaces and liability questions. Security teams are working to adapt existing frameworks while developing new approaches specific to autonomous systems. Aktonomy Fall ’26 arrives at a moment when many organisations are confronting these challenges for the first time, making peer experience from early adopters particularly valuable.
