Every organization is feeling the momentum; and for security teams, the question is no longer _if_ AI will transform their work, but _how_ to stay ahead of what comes next.\\n\\nAt Microsoft, we see this moment giving rise to what we call the Frontier Firm: organizations that are human-led and agent-operated. With more than 80% of leaders already using agents or planning to within the year, we\u2019re entering a world where every person may soon have an entire agentic team at their side1. By 2028, IDC projects 1.3 billion agents in use\u2014a scale that changes everything about how we work and how we secure2.\\n\\nIn the agentic era, security must be ambient and autonomous, just like the AI it protects. This is our vision for security as the core primitive, woven into and around everything we build and throughout everything we do. At RSAC 2026, we\u2019ll share how we are delivering on that vision through our AI-first, end-to-end, security platform that helps you protect every layer of the AI stack and secure with agentic AI.\\n\\n## Join us at RSAC Conference 2026\u2014March 22\u201326 in San Francisco\\n\\nRSAC 2026 will give you a front\u2011row seat to how AI is transforming the global threat landscape, and how defenders can stay ahead with:\\n\\n * A deeper understanding of how AI is reshaping the global threat landscape\\n * Insight into how Microsoft can help you protect every layer of the AI stack and secure with agentic AI\\n * Product demos, curated sessions, executive conversations, and live meetings with our experts in the booth\\n\\n\\n\\nThis is your moment to see what\u2019s next and what\u2019s possible as we enter the era of agentic security.\\n\\n## Microsoft at RSAC\u2122 2026\\n\\nFrom Microsoft Pre\u2011Day to innovation sessions, networking opportunities, and 1:1 meetings, explore experiences designed to help you navigate the age of AI with clarity and impact.\\n\\nExplore conference events\\n\\n\\n\\n## Microsoft Pre-Day: Your first look at what\u2019s next in security\\n\\nKick off RSAC 2026 on Sunday, March 22 at the Palace Hotel for Microsoft Pre\u2011Day, an exclusive experience designed to set the tone for the week ahead.\\n\\nHear keynote insights from Vasu Jakkal, CVP of Microsoft Security Business and other Microsoft security leaders as they explore how AI and agents are reshaping the security landscape.\\n\\nYou\u2019ll discover how Microsoft is advancing agentic defense, informed by more than 100 trillion security signals each day.

At the same time, adoption on the ground is spreading but uneven: 24% of leaders say their companies have already deployed AI organization-wide, while just 12% remain in pilot mode. \\n \\n2IDC Info Snapshot, sponsored by Microsoft, 1.3 Billion AI Agents by 2028, May 2025 #US53361825_ \\n\\n\\nThe post Your complete guide to Microsoft experiences at RSAC\u2122 2026 Conference appeared first on Microsoft Security Blog.”,”published”:”2026-02-12T17:00:00″,”modified”:”2026-02-12T17:00:00″,”type”:”mssecure”,”title”:”Your complete guide to Microsoft experiences at RSAC\u2122 2026 Conference”,”source”:””,”references”:””,”id”:”MSSECURE:9DF9F33476A7134EFBCEA0F88D1CE2AC”,”bulletinFamily”:”blog”,”cwe”:null,”cvelist”:[],”sourceData”:””,”sourceHref”:””,”cvss”:{“score”:0,”severity”:”NONE”,”vector”:”NONE”,”version”:”NONE”},”cvss2″:{},”cvss3″:{“version”:””,”vectorString”:””,”baseScore”:0,”baseSeverity”:””,”attackVector”:””,”attackComplexity”:””,”privilegesRequired”:””,”userInteraction”:””,”scope”:””,”confidentialityImpact”:””,”integrityImpact”:””,”availabilityImpact”:””,”cvssV3″:{“version”:””,”vectorString”:””,”baseScore”:0,”baseSeverity”:””,”attackVector”:””,”attackComplexity”:””,”privilegesRequired”:””,”userInteraction”:””,”scope”:””,”confidentialityImpact”:””,”integrityImpact”:””,”availabilityImpact”:””}},”href”:”https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/2026\/02\/12\/your-complete-guide-to-microsoft-experiences-at-rsac-2026-conference\/”,”category_name”:”News”,”post_link”:””,”product”:””,”version”:””,”vendor”:””,”ai_description”:””,”ai_severity”:””,”ai_vendor”:””,”ai_product”:””,”ai_version”:””,”ai_score”:0}<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
