In June, Forward laid out the vision. In the months since, the threat caught up to it: a frontier model chained vulnerabilities, stole credentials, and moved through real infrastructure on its own, with no human directing it. The perimeter did not move, it disappeared, and agents now operate on both sides of it. Outside, attackers strike at machine speed. Inside, the agents you deployed hold dangerous access to your identities, APIs, code, and data. Both act through identity, and neither waits for a human. Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik, is joined by Rob Bair, Head of National Security Partnerships at Anthropic, Mallika Swaminathan, Senior Director, Product Management at Rubrik, and Rohit Agnihotri, VP of Identity and Access Management at Northwestern Mutual, to set the operating model for this new reality: protect against AI, protect AI, and use AI to protect yourself. One platform, one shared context across data, identity, and agents, and the new rules for the leaders who intend to stay standing when everything runs at machine speed.

Most attacks now start with a valid login. Nation state crews and AI powered tooling have made it cheaper to walk in through the front door than to break anything. The harder problem is ownership. Enterprise identity is layered over systems built across three decades and split between security, IT, and whoever inherited the last acquisition, so in most companies no single team owns the whole estate. Attackers do not care about the org chart. Eve Maler, who co-wrote SAML, and Eric Sachs, who leads identity product at Microsoft, sit down with Rubrik Field CTO Noam Perel on how identity estates got this way, what a resilient one looks like, and who should be on the hook for building it.

Frontier models now discover and chain vulnerabilities on their own, following a low severity bug across services until it becomes a full account takeover. Traditional scanners bury those paths under thousands of unranked findings, and attackers reason across your architecture far faster than any triage queue can. In this session, Rubrik's own security engineers show what becomes possible when you turn that same offensive AI capability inward, against your own code, before anyone else gets there, and rank what you fix by what an attacker would actually exploit. Something new is coming. Be in the room.

And as AI reshapes both how we build and how we’re attacked, resilience becomes even more fundamental. If an agent can touch the data that runs your business, that data must be recoverable. Mike will take that on directly in the AI track.

Every identity recovery starts with the same three questions. Which day do you go back to, who has the authority to make that call, and how do you know the copy you picked is clean? None of them have obvious answers, and they change depending on your environment. Four security leaders work through them from four very different positions. One is planning a move off on premises Active Directory to a cloud directory. One runs a college with six enrollment start dates a year and open admission. One runs security and identity for a group of Farm Credit institutions. One runs security for a software company whose customers are nonprofits, schools, and hospitals.

Identity has become the way in. It is also what every other system depends on, so an identity attack is never contained to identity. Everything downstream waits.The industry has spent years on keeping attackers out of the directory. Much less has gone into what happens the day one gets in. That gap is why identity resilience is becoming a discipline of its own. Identity estates are growing faster than anyone's ability to recover them, and AI is accelerating the curve. Rubrik is building for that moment. When identity goes, it should come back first and come back clean, so the rest of the business can follow. Two of the product leaders building it will walk through the roadmap and the thinking behind it, including what is shipping now and where it goes next.

Your SOC, IT operations, and compliance teams are building agents that need Rubrik in the moment: protection posture, anomaly status, a clean recovery point mid-incident. Getting there today is the hard part. It means jumping into dashboards, writing custom queries, or waiting on the backup team while the clock runs. This session shows what changes when any agent your teams build can reach Rubrik's intelligence directly, in the tools and workflows they already work in, with the same access controls and full auditability you expect from the console. Answers in seconds, not a support ticket. A new way to bring Rubrik to your agents is on the way. Come see it first.
