SecurityWeek Part 4 Lens on Black Hat USA 2026 Vendor Priorities
A breach breakdown of what the event announcements say about AI agents, identity, detection, and buyer skepticism.

- Verify trust outside the communication channel when defending against impersonation across calls, meetings, and messages.
- Do not buy booth copy. Ask vendors for evidence paths, response workflows, and limits on agent access.
