Artificial intelligence agents can discover and chain unknown vulnerabilities at machine speed, driving the marginal cost of a zero-day attack toward zero. Traditional security operations centers, constrained by alert queues and slow change cycles, cannot respond on the same timeline. Agentic security operations offer a path from reactive incident response to proactive security engineering, helping teams anticipate threats and deploy tested controls before exploitation.

In this session, led by Jesus Toledano of Google Cloud Security, you will learn:

• How anticipation and architect agents correlate weak signals, map likely attack paths and design targeted controls;
• Why synthetic validation in an isolated digital twin can measure detection rates and false positives before deployment;
• How staged rollouts, expiring identities, inline guardrails, audit trails and automated rollback can govern autonomous defensive agents.
