Nearly two thirds of UK cybersecurity leaders, 64%, expect agentic AI to shape cyber defence more than any other technology over the coming years, according to polling released ahead of Infosecurity Europe. The figure anchors the OWASP GenAI Security Summit, which opens the conference on 2 June 2026 at ExCeL London.
The summit gathers practitioners, researchers and CISOs around the practical questions raised by autonomous AI agents: how they are authenticated, how their decisions are audited, and how the attack surface they create is contained. Agentic systems, software that can reason, plan and act without a human approving each step, now sit near the top of enterprise adoption lists, and the survey suggests defenders are treating them as both an opportunity and an exposure.
AI is transforming cybersecurity at an unprecedented pace, creating both powerful new defences and entirely new attack surfaces. The OWASP GenAI Security Summit provides an opportunity to hear directly from those working in the space and bringing together global experts to share research, practical frameworks and real-world strategies for securing GenAI and agentic systems.
Sessions will cover the OWASP Top 10 for LLM applications, agent identity and guardrails, and early enterprise deployment lessons. Infosecurity Europe runs 2–4 June 2026.
