This requires strong data, runtime performance and clear visibility into how systems function, Schneider said. "I think they need proof that those solutions are doing what they purport to do and that the outcomes that they'd expect from those tools are the outcomes that they're actually garnering," Schneider said. Visibility into AI workflows has become essential. Security teams must understand how agents act, what decisions they make and how they affect outcomes. AI also enables faster integration across systems, helping teams connect insights and improve response across complex environments, he said. In this video interview with Information Security Media Group at RSAC Conference 2026, Schneider also discussed: Why organizations need proof of AI effectiveness and measurable outcomes; How visibility of AI agents improves trust and operational control; Why human oversight is critical to validating and refining AI performance.
