RSAC 2026: Agents and politics and spies, oh my!

We regret to inform you that RSAC 2026 is probably going to be all about agentic AI, and with good reason: It's changing both the defensive and offensive security paradigms.

Along with agentic AI, The Register security editor Jessica Lyons tells host Brandon Vigliarolo that other hot topics at the industry's big event this year are likely to include the war in Iran, North Korean IT employment scammers, and maybe a bit of politics too: The US government won't be represented at all at this year's event at all.
