In June, Forward laid out the vision. In the months since, the threat caught up to it: a frontier model chained vulnerabilities, stole credentials, and moved through real infrastructure on its own, with no human directing it. The perimeter did not move, it disappeared, and agents now operate on both sides of it. Outside, attackers strike at machine speed. Inside, the agents you deployed hold dangerous access to your identities, APIs, code, and data. Both act through identity, and neither waits for a human. Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik, is joined by Rob Bair, Head of National Security Partnerships at Anthropic, Dev Rishi, General Manager of AI at Rubrik, and Rohit Agnihotri, VP of Identity and Access Management at Northwestern Mutual, to set the operating model for this new reality: protect against AI, protect AI, and use AI to protect yourself. One platform, one shared context across data, identity, and agents, and the new rules for the leaders who intend to stay standing when everything runs at machine speed.
