NextRise 2026: experience AI agent execution control
In the age of AI agents executing commands directly on infrastructure, execution control is the core of security. Experience Alpacon at NextRise 2026.

NextRise 2026
AlpacaX is back at NextRise—Korea's largest startup investment event, held annually at COEX. This year's edition is the biggest ever, with OpenAI, NVIDIA, Palantir, Google, Anthropic, and Perplexity all participating. With France as the guest country of honor, more than 540 startups and 270+ global enterprises and investors will be in attendance.
It's no longer just humans
At last year's NextRise, we talked about how humans access servers—authenticated users only, least privilege, every action on record. The point was making server access itself secure.
Since then, the situation has changed. The thing accessing those servers is no longer always a human.
AI agents now execute commands directly on infrastructure. They move files, trigger deployments, manipulate databases. The question isn't who gave the agent permission—it's what the agent actually runs after that permission is granted, and whether anything is in place to govern it.
At RSAC 2026 in San Francisco last May, the same question took center stage. Five global security companies launched AI agent governance products in the same week—but Bessemer Venture Partners cut to the core issue: "targeted in-flight intervention"—the ability to step in at the exact moment an agent executes—remains the most underdeveloped capability in the market.
The gap Alpacon fills
Alpacon was built for machines from day one, not just humans—designed from the identity and protocol layer up, not retrofitted onto a human tool. On top of that foundation, we built AI agent governance. As an AI-native PAM, Alpacon governs agent execution in real time.
The mechanism is the same whether the actor is a human or an agent: define scope before the session starts, validate commands at execution time, record the entire session. Out-of-scope commands are blocked in real time. High-risk executions go to an administrator approval queue. A complete audit log captures what the agent did and which commands were stopped.
That's what we're showing at NextRise 2026.
Try it yourself
This year's booth isn't a place to watch demos and hear explanations. We've set up on-site missions where you log directly into the Alpacon CLI and give real commands to an AI agent.
Assign the agent a staging server health check and get back a disk, memory, and CPU status report. Have it dig through app logs to surface hidden anomalies. Then watch what happens when the agent steps outside its allowed scope and tries to reach a prod server—blocked, in real time. Complete the mission and take home a giveaway.
There's also a demo walking through the full flow from command request to approval and block, plus a talk session at 2 PM both days. We will cover a real AI agent security incident from an enterprise environment and Alpacon's execution control layer—10 to 15 minutes, short and substantive. Full schedule coming soon.
If you're on a security, DevOps, or SRE team evaluating AI agent adoption, come talk with us at the booth.
