Securing Agentic AI at Scale: What Google and Palo Alto Networks Are Building Together

Thursday, April 23 @ 9:15 AM - 10:00 AM

As the enterprise moves beyond static chatbots toward autonomous agents, securing the lifecycle requires a fundamental shift in visibility and defense. Join Google Cloud and Palo Alto Networks as we unveil a joint vision for securing agentic workflows, integrating Palo Alto Networks leading security with Google Cloud’s pioneering AI platform. Featuring experts in cloud-native observability and identity, we will demonstrate how to protect AI runtime, govern non-human identities, and maintain deep visibility into agent behavior. Attendees will gain a comprehensive blueprint for scaling AI safely, backed by real-world customer proof points and a roadmap for resilient, AI-driven innovation.

Who Runs The World Now, Agents? Governing the Invisible Workforce 

Time TBC

As enterprises deploy Gemini-powered agents across operations, finance, customer service, and development, a new question is emerging: who is truly running the business? A rapidly growing “invisible workforce” of autonomous systems now reasons, decides, and acts at machine speed — executing high-impact processes without traditional management, oversight, or accountability. This shift is creating unprecedented governance, operational, and risk exposure for executive leadership. In this session, we explore how leading organizations are establishing control systems for this new digital workforce. Attendees will see how Palo Alto Networks Prisma AIRS provides a real-time execution governance layer that evaluates intent, context, privilege, and risk every time an AI agent takes action. You will learn how to transform unmanaged automation into an accountable, compliant, and resilient workforce — ensuring AI-driven operations scale safely without compromising performance, trust, or business integrity.

The AI Attack Surface: Strategizing Defense for the modern AI-Powered Enterprise

 

Thursday, April 23 @ 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM

As organizations shift from generative assistants to autonomous AI agents, the enterprise risk profile has fundamentally changed. In this new "Agentic Era," the threat is no longer just a malicious prompt, but the potential for autonomous systems to execute high-privilege business disruptions at machine speed. Join leadership from Unit 42, Palo Alto Network’ s Team and guest experts for a candid discussion on the 2026 threat landscape. We will look at recent trends uncovered in this year's State of Cloud Security Report 2025, and discuss how threats have transitioned from human led attacks to AI assisted attacks.. In this session we will highlight the core capabilities required to maintain security and oversight without sacrificing innovation. Attendees will gain a strategic framework for establishing "Intent-Based" security, moving beyond traditional detection to a model of continuous, AI-native governance and autonomous resilience.

The AI-Ready Enterprise: Securing Access and Data in an AI-first World

 

Wednesday, April 22 @ 12:30PM - 1:15PM

As organizations embed AI tools like Gemini into everyday workflows, the traditional network perimeter must evolve. This session provides a deep dive into the integration architecture between Palo Alto Networks and Google Cloud, showcasing how to build an intelligent, AI-aware service edge. Emphasizing customer choice, we will explore multiple secure onboarding paths and form factors—including Network Security Infrastructure (NSI), Cloud NGFW, Prisma Access, and NCC Gateway.


Whether leveraging the broader Strata Platform or a dedicated SASE approach, attendees will discover how native integrations deliver a high-performance, Zero Trust environment. We will explore how to secure every user and AI interaction through Enterprise DLP tie-ins with Google, intent-based controls, and flexible browser security options to prevent data exfiltration and manage "Shadow AI."

Architecting Trustworthy AI. How The Home Depot is Using, Building, and Securing AI

 

Thursday, April 23 @ 3:45 PM - 4:05 PM

AI is rapidly becoming the operating fabric of the modern enterprise – powering copilots, autonomous agents, and intelligent applications. Yet many organizations struggle to scale beyond isolated pilots due to shadow AI, fragmented controls, and growing security and compliance risks. In this session, we will hear from Home Depot on how they are using AI for innovation while securing AI by design. We will move beyond theory to provide a transparent, real-world view of how to embed AI securely across a large enterprise and protect the full AI lifecycle.

Securing Agent Traffic at Scale: Network Enforcement for the Agentic Enterprise

 

Wednesday, April 22 @ 4:30 PM - 4:50 PM

As enterprises deploy autonomous AI agents into production, security must extend beyond identity and runtime controls to govern how agents communicate across cloud environments. In the Agentic Era, the network becomes the enforcement fabric that translates AI intent into safe execution—controlling traffic, inspecting behavior, and containing blast radius at machine speed. This session introduces a Network Security Control Plane for agentic architectures on Google Cloud. Attendees will learn how cloud-native network security enables real-time inspection of agent-to-service and east-west traffic, delivers Layer 7 visibility for AI workloads, and enforces consistent policy across environments. We will explore architectural patterns using Cloud NGFW, Google Cloud Network Security Integration, and managed, consumption-based firewall services to secure agentic workflows at scale without increasing operational complexity. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for integrating network security into the AI lifecycle alongside identity, runtime protection, and observability—turning network security into an execution guardrail for autonomous systems.

GDIOCSpider - Extracting and Identifying IOCs from the GDriveverse

Thursday, August 7 | 1:00 PM – 1:55 PM PT

Business Hall, Arsenal Station 2

Google Drive in recent years has become one of the most abused platforms for threat actors to conduct illegal and malicious activity. Threat actors use Google accounts to launch, store, and log malware, effectively turning Drive into a command and control center. On the side of legal and ethical activity, Google Drive remains a popular platform for security researchers to store these artifacts in summarized write-ups and spreadsheets of malicious and illegal activity observed. Much like an archaeologist looks for artifacts providing clues of the history of civilization, security researchers look for Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), which are clues to what a threat actor has done. Security engineers have worked across decades to build out tooling to analyze hard drives and network resources; however, similar advances to analyze Google Drive resources have remained underdeveloped. Along the same line, tools that aggregate and summarize collections of records on IOCs stored in Google Drive by researchers are also lacking.


The GDIOCSpider (Google Drive IOC Spider) provides a tool for both of these use cases.
