RSAC 2026, Security Platformization and AI-Driven Enterprise Security Transformation

At the RSAC 2026 conference, security platformization has gone beyond mere slogans and is actively transforming into enterprise procurement practices. Many companies are no longer seeking to expand their existing complex security tech stacks but are instead pursuing integrated security strategies. As artificial intelligence changes the threat landscape and exposes the limitations of one-time security solutions, this shift has become more urgent.

Eric Bradley, head of strategy at a corporate technology research firm, recently noted that “37% of organizations are deploying or actively testing AI agents.” However, in terms of security controls, 20% of organizations admit they lack dedicated security measures for these agents. This indicates that, compared to the rapid adoption of AI agents, security controls are lagging behind.

Security platformization is not just about simple integration; it is interpreted as an effort to reduce management complexity and build a more unified and resilient security posture. Especially, the protection of large language models and generative AI has gone beyond cloud security and has become a top area where enterprises are willing to increase investment.

These changes suggest that even amid geopolitical uncertainties, the security market continues to demonstrate resilience. The vast majority of respondents have no plans to cut security budgets and point out that vendor consolidation is gaining substantial momentum. In the context of rapid AI application deployment, the ability to keep pace with management needs has become an urgent requirement.

At RSAC 2026, these topics became focal points for in-depth discussion. The influence of security platformization and AI is guiding the future development of the security industry.
