About the Event
DataSecAI 2026 is a three-day AI security conference hosted by data security company Cyera, taking place November 9 to 11, 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Dallas. The conference centers on building trust layers for AI systems and addresses the intersection of data security and AI security challenges. Programming spans keynotes, track-based breakout sessions (Executive, Product, and Architecture tracks), hands-on workshops, and practitioner-led certification courses. Attendance is free and includes meals, networking events, and expo access.
Technical and Governance Topics
Sessions address AI governance at enterprise scale, with specific coverage of NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, and ISO 42001 compliance. Technical content explores securing agentic endpoints, non-human identities and agentic risk, agent visibility and runtime control, and unifying data, identity, and action controls. A live AI security tabletop exercise simulates an “overzealous agent” scenario. Additional sessions examine AI-powered threat intelligence and identifying “toxic combinations” of data exposure. A hands-on architecture workshop focuses on securing the agentic enterprise.
