Exclusive series of events offers roadmap to safely deploy AI agents, defend against agentic threats, and operationalize the agentic SOC
ExtraHop®, a leader in modern network detection and response (NDR), announced ExtraHop Co-founder and Chief Scientist Raja Mukerji will headline “ExtraHop Reveals the Agentic Shift,” a series of events across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region to help business leaders understand how the agentic era is impacting cybersecurity operations.

Mukerji will guide security leaders through the defining challenges, including safe AI agent deployment, defending against AI-powered threats, and building operational frameworks for an effective agentic SOC.
The tour is designed to translate high-level AI strategy into tangible SOC outcomes, providing a practical roadmap for security leaders. Each stop will include technical presentations, live simulations of the agentic shift, and dedicated networking sessions for local executives in the following cities:
- Singapore: May 20, 2026
- Kuala Lumpur: May 21, 2026
- Melbourne: May 27, 2026
- Sydney: May 28, 2026
- Canberra: May 29, 2026
The surge in nation-state activity targeting APAC’s critical telecommunications infrastructure has transformed autonomous defense from a luxury into a regulatory necessity. Yet as enterprises rush to adopt agentic security, they are hitting a significant roadblock: the systems meant to protect them are missing threats and making wrong calls. Increasingly, security leaders are pointing to the same culprit – the quality of the data these systems rely on.
“The industry didn’t stop to ask whether the data foundation was ready before racing into the agentic era,” said Raja Mukerji, Co-founder and Chief Scientist, ExtraHop. “We’ve seen this pattern before. The technology moves fast, the foundation gets skipped, and organizations don’t realize the gap until they’re in the middle of an incident, when a threat gets missed or a response comes too late. In APAC, that’s a risk enterprises can’t afford. Getting the foundation right is what we’ve been doing for nearly two decades, and it’s the only way agentic security delivers on its promise.”
ExtraHop has been building toward the agentic era with its NDR platform that delivers high-fidelity, real-time network telemetry that empowers AI agents with the data and context they need to reason and act with confidence so enterprises can:
- Defend against AI-powered threats: Stop adversaries using AI to move faster and hide deeper within the network, exposing threats concealed in authorized workflows and encrypted communications that traditional tools never reach.
- Monitor and govern AI across the enterprise: Know exactly which AI tools are running and how to detect shadow AI, anomalous behavior, and misuse before they become incidents.
- Fuel the agentic SOC: Give AI agents the high-fidelity context they need to accurately reason, detect, and respond to the right threats autonomously.
