Agentic AI changes the security conversation because the technology is no longer limited to summarizing alerts or answering questions. Agents can gather context, select workflows, recommend actions and, in some cases, execute them. That creates real leverage for security teams - and a new control problem for CISOs.

In this recap from  Deepwatch's September 30 webinar, CISO Chad Cragle and guest speaker Joseph Blankenship, VP, Research Director at Forrester, focused less on the hype around autonomous security and more on the operating decisions underneath it: what should be automated, where human judgment still earns its place, how to govern agent access, what buyers should demand from vendors, and how to prove that an AI-driven action was the right one.

In this webinar recap you will learn:

• How to use AI to remove low-value work - not expertise.
  
• Treat autonomy as a continuum, not a switch
  
• How to put guardrails in place before AI agents act.
  
• How best to make “human in the loop” systems operational, not ceremonial
  
• Why the future SOC is a different operating model - not just a faster version of today
  
• Come away with a 6-Step CISO action plan

Agentic AI can remove work that slows security teams down. It can also create new failure modes if autonomy expands faster than governance. The practical path is neither “AI everywhere” nor “human approval for everything.” It is to match autonomy to risk, make every consequential action visible, and keep human expertise focused where context and accountability matter most.
