AI Agent Security Summit: San Francisco

The AI revolution is entering a critical new phase — and security leaders are gathering in [San Francisco](/cities/san-francisco) to address it head-on. Following October 2025's landmark summit, Zenity's AI Agent Security Summit returns to the Commonwealth Club on May 27, 2026, at a watershed moment when the agentic attack surface has fundamentally transformed. ## Why This Summit Matters Now The last six months have brought seismic shifts to AI agent security. The industry now has its first globally peer-reviewed security framework with the **OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications**, providing structured guidance for protecting AI agents. Meanwhile, [OpenClaw](https://www.createwith.com/tool/openclaw) — an open-source agent assistant that rapidly gained over 250,000 GitHub stars — has introduced critical new vulnerabilities, including indirect prompt injection risks that make it susceptible to backdoors. The emergence of agentic browsers like [Perplexity](https://www.createwith.com/tool/perplexity)'s Comet has further expanded the risk surface, demonstrating how attackers can weaponize these tools to compromise systems like 1Password vaults. ## What You'll Explore This summit tackles the fundamental question: what's changed in 2026, what's noise, and what's next? Security professionals will unpack the rapidly evolving landscape of shadow AI adoption, examine emergent frameworks, and dissect real-world vulnerabilities in widely-adopted open-source tools. The event brings together the conversation around purpose-built security for an era where AI agents operate with increasing autonomy and access. ## Who Should Attend This gathering is essential for anyone working at the intersection of AI agents and security — from security leaders at disruptive startups to established enterprises and hyperscalers. Enterprise agentic development is moving at breakneck pace, and this community aims to navigate the adoption journey smoothly and securely. You'll network with experts who understand the unique challenges of securing autonomous AI systems, share experiences from your own implementation journey, and contribute your perspective to guide peers during this critical inflection point. The summit builds on content from the October 2025 event (available on-demand) while addressing the staggering new developments that have emerged since. Whether you're grappling with securing existing agent deployments or planning your organisation's agentic strategy, you'll leave with actionable frameworks and connections to help
