Attackers Have Agents. Do You?
Threat Vector by Palo Alto Networks
Urgent capability: securing agents' identity
Elad warns defenders must plan for agent security, permissions, and guardrails in the next 12–18 months.
What happens when your security analyst isn't a person?
Elad Koren, Vice President of Product Management for Cortex Cloud at Palo Alto Networks, returns to Threat Vector to pull back the curtain on what an agentic-first security experience actually looks like in practice. This isn't a vision deck. The agents are already running.
When Elad joined the show for Why Proactive Security Can't Wait, he made the case that reactive security can no longer keep up with adversaries who move from initial compromise to data theft in under five hours. This episode picks up where that conversation ended, with host David Moulton and Elad discussing the tools built to close that gap.
You'll learn:
-
What "agentic-first analyst experience" means and why it changes the SOC fundamentally
-
How Cortex is deploying autonomous agents across the platform and what they actually do
-
What XDL 2.0 is and why defenders need to understand it now
-
How product leaders are making security faster without making it reckless
Elad brings over two decades of experience in security, spanning RSA, PerimeterX, Salt Security, and now leading product for Cortex Cloud at Palo Alto Networks. He holds a CISSP and a patent in autonomous risk monitoring.
This episode is essential listening if you're: a security leader evaluating agentic AI tools, a product-minded practitioner curious how AI is reshaping cloud defense, or a CISO trying to figure out what's hype and what's already in production.
