About the Event
The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) AI Security Summit 2026: Zero Trust is a free, two-day virtual event examining how Zero Trust principles apply to securing autonomous AI systems. The summit brings together practitioners and researchers to address the security implications of AI agents that interact with sensitive systems and make decisions on behalf of organizations.
The Challenge of Non-Human Identities
Organizations now manage non-human identities that significantly outnumber their human workforce. AI agents operate at machine speed, making decisions and accessing systems faster than human review processes can accommodate. This shift creates security gaps that traditional perimeter-based approaches were not designed to address. CSA has characterized this trend as the AI Vulnerability Storm, referring to the accelerating pace at which AI-discovered exploits emerge.
Zero Trust as a Framework for AI Security
The summit positions Zero Trust architecture as a foundational approach for deploying AI safely at scale. By replacing implicit trust with continuous verification, Zero Trust provides a governance model suited to autonomous agents and machine identities. The event agenda draws on CSA’s ongoing research through its Zero Trust Advancement Center (ZTAC) and related programs including the Certificate of Competence in Zero Trust (CCZT).
Who Should Attend
This summit is intended for security professionals responsible for AI initiatives, identity management modernization, or Zero Trust strategy within enterprises adopting autonomous systems.
