CDW Executive SummIT: How to Secure Agentic AI
At the September CDW Executive SummIT in Las Vegas, experts warned that security threats have surged 300% this year, with breach times shrinking from weeks to hours, according to Palo Alto Networks’ Eric Van Woerden. As a result, organizations are adopting AI-driven defenses. Google’s Clive D’Souza stressed the importance of platformwide security to guard against risks such as rogue agents and model poisoning. And CDW's Paul Zajdel highlighted solutions such as Databricks’ AI/BI Genie tool, which allows teams to query their data directly so there is more transparency about the information fed into AI models.
