The Responsibility Gap: AI and the Shift to True Security Accountability
Stephen Vintz
RSAC 2026 Conference · Main Stage Keynote
In this compelling talk at RSA Conference, Stephen Vintz, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Tenable, addresses the burgeoning security challenges posed by the rapid and pervasive adoption of Artificial Intelligence. Titled "The Responsibility Gap: AI and the Shift to True Security Accountability," Vintz articulates a critical and often overlooked issue: the fracturing of accountability for AI-related risks within organizations. He argues that while AI's capabilities are expanding at an unprecedented rate, the traditional mechanisms for governance and risk management are failing to keep pace, leading to a dangerous "responsibility gap" where no single entity truly owns the security of AI systems.

A Tenable CEO delivering a vendor keynote at RSA dressed up as a thought leadership talk. 'The Responsibility Gap' is 45 minutes of executive-speak, anecdote-driven fearmongering, and thinly veiled product positioning that culminates in pitching exposure management — which Tenable sells. No original research. No novel technical contribution. No demos. No data. This is a sales deck with a podium.
