Security in the Age of Agentic AI
Vasu Jakkal
RSA Conference 2025 · Day 2 · West Stage
Microsoft Security's Vasu Jakkal delivered a sweeping keynote at RSA 2025 that framed the rise of agentic AI as both the industry's most transformative opportunity and its most consequential security challenge. She argued that AI agents will soon permeate every layer of organizational and personal life — which means securing them, and using them to secure everything else, must be treated as two sides of the same imperative. The talk closed with a vision of what the security profession could become when AI absorbs the drudgery: a workforce finally freed for the creativity and governance it was always meant for. ---
AI review
Jakkal's keynote is competently delivered, technically substantive on agent identity and dynamic governance, and significantly better than most Microsoft RSA appearances. The 'level zero to level three autonomy in two years' prediction and the dynamic probabilistic verification framing are the ideas worth tracking; the rest is polished platform narrative from the world's largest security vendor.
