AppSec Conversations on Agents, LLMs, and OWASP from RSAC - Merritt Maxim, Scott Clinton, Janet Worthington - ASW #384

We showcase recordings from this year's RSAC.

At RSAC Conference 2026, Scott Clinton, Co-Chair and co-founder of the OWASP GenAI Security Project, shares insights from the project’s latest research, including new landscape guides and evolving approaches to securing generative and agentic AI systems. The conversation explores critical gaps in GenAI data security, the rise of AI-assisted development, and the immense growth of the OWASP community and sponsor ecosystem. Looking ahead, he outlines the most urgent risks and priorities shaping AI and agentic security in 2026.

Then Merritt Maxim discusses how AI is affecting Identity and Access Management. Expect to hear this topic a lot throughout 2026, especially as the industry tries to figure out what’s different or special about securing agent identities.

We close with a chat with Janet Worthington about the impact of agents on the SDLC and how orgs are updating their controls to deal with code generated by humans and LLMs alike.
