The agenda features sessions on agent security, enterprise deployment, and cloud governance as AI moves into critical systems.

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will feature five sessions about AI safety across its AI Stage and Real World AI Stage. The agenda covers agent security, enterprise AI deployment, and cloud governance as AI products move into businesses, vehicles, robots, and autonomous agents.

Anthropic Head of Applied AI Cat de Jong will discuss what separates enterprise Claude pilots from production deployments. Okta President of Products and Technology Ric Smith and NanoCo Co-Founder and CEO Gavriel Cohen will address agent security at the infrastructure level.

Builders and enterprise teams must treat security, governance, and observability as product requirements when AI agents gain access to company systems. Application-level permissions alone will not satisfy buyers who need agents to act inside critical workflows.

Disrupt attendees can attend these sessions to learn how Anthropic, Okta, and NanoCo approach deployment and security. The event takes place in 2026, and pass discounts end September 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
