Innovator Coffee Podcast EP-32 The Age of Agents: What RSAC 2026 Tells US About
40,000 attendees. 600+ exhibitors. Nearly everyone talking about the same thing: AI Agents.
Forge Point Capital investor Jimmy Park and Wickey Wang, cybersecurity and compliance management who also focuses on ecosystem insights and innovation support on AI and cybersecurity, just got back from the show floor, and sat down together for 50 minutes. A few core observations:
RSA has changed. This no longer feels like a cybersecurity conference, it feels more like an AI conference with cybersecurity use cases. Companies that were selling LLM security last year have all pivoted to Agent security this year.
Non-Human Identity is evolving. The conversation has moved from “how many non-human identities do I have” to active remediation, Key Rotation, Just-in-Time Access. Okta and Microsoft are entering the space, while startups race to own the remediation layer.
AI SOC is everywhere. Over 60 companies are pushing the same label. But the real signal is this: large enterprises are starting to actually deploy, not just demo.
Vibe Coding Security is a new category. Jimmy admitted it himself: “When I vibe code, I just auto-approve everything.” The problem is when that habit moves into enterprise production environments, the attack surface follows. AI-generated code has its own vulnerability patterns that traditional scanners can’t keep up with.
Something new this year: You can find out more from the full version of this episode.
One quiet concern to end on. The ladder has been removed — AI is taking over junior-level work, but in three years, where do senior engineers come from? This isn’t just a security industry problem.
