The Agentic World From Pilot to Production | AI Security Summit 2026 | State of Trust

As enterprises move rapidly from AI copilots to autonomous agents capable of taking real-world actions, the challenge is no longer whether to embrace agentic AI, but how to deploy it safely and effectively. In this keynote, Chenxi Wang, Ph.D., Founder and General Partner, Rain Capital, shares preliminary findings from a study of nearly 30 organizations. The findings cover how enterprises are moving agents from pilot to production, which use cases deliver the most value, and where security and governance challenges emerge. Learn why bounded, repeatable, auditable, and reversible tasks are succeeding today and how organizations are approaching different levels of agent autonomy. Wang also explains why trust must be built into the architecture through identity, authorization, observability, runtime controls, and human oversight. This session also examines emerging long-horizon agentic workflows and the enterprise control plane needed to support increasingly autonomous AI systems.
