Everyone at RSA Was Talking About AI Security. Most of Them Are Looking in the Wrong Place.
QuilrAI Booth N-4203, Moscone North, RSA Conference 2026
RSA 2026 was loud with AI security messaging. Every booth had something to say about it. Agents. Governance. LLM protection. The category is real and the urgency is real.
But walking the floor, I kept noticing the same gap.
Most vendors are governing one layer. A gateway. A browser extension. An identity check. What they cannot see is what is actually happening on your endpoints right now: agents running Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenClaw against production data, MCP servers connecting those agents to live databases, browser AI tools operating with zero visibility from your security stack. All of it moving at machine speed, outside any single tool's line of sight.
That is the problem we built QuilrAI to solve.
The first shift is humans working with copilots. That part, most teams have started to address.
The second shift is AI systems talking to other AI systems. That is where most tools start to break.
The third shift is the one that changes everything: agents taking action without asking. No human in the loop. No review step. Just a decision, made in real time, affecting real systems.
DLP sees outcomes after the fact. CASB inspects one hop. Identity tools do not understand intent. No existing tool in the legacy stack was built to reason across all four planes at once: endpoint, browser, LLM gateway, and MCP gateway.
QuilrAI's Decision Engine does not pattern match. It reasons over content, context, and intent at runtime, before the action completes. That is the distinction that matters. Not more alerts. Better decisions, made in real time.
The conversations at our booth were different this year. Practitioners already understand the problem. What they want to know is whether the solution is real.
A few things we shared during the week:
Won a nine vendor bake off at a BPO with over 200,000 employees, scoring 29 out of 30
The question we kept hearing was simple: can you show me what you would find on our environment? The answer is yes, in under 30 minutes.
2,000 QuilrAI LED shoe clips, gone by day two
We had some fun with this one.
Our theme at the booth was Get Discovered. The idea: just like a runner in the dark needs drivers to see them, you need to see the risk signals moving through your AI environment before something goes wrong. Visibility first. Control second.
To bring that to life, we gave away QuilrAI branded LED shoe clips. We brought 2,000 of them.
We ran out by day two.
Note to self for next year: bring more.
Post RSA, the question is not whether AI agent security matters. Everyone agrees it does.
The question is whether your security stack can see the full picture before an incident happens. One reasoning engine across all four enforcement planes is what that looks like in practice.
If you want to see what we would find on your environment, we can run a discovery scan and surface every AI agent, MCP server, and shadow AI tool across your endpoints in under 30 minutes. No commitment. Just signal.
