On March 26, Gen Digital — the NASDAQ-listed parent company of Norton, Avast, and LifeLock — will co-host an exclusive post-RSA event in San Francisco’s Financial District with members of the OpenClaw core team. The event, “The Future of Safe AI Agents,” marks what appears to be the first confirmed public partnership between the OpenClaw team and a major cybersecurity vendor.

What’s Being Demoed

The centerpiece of the event is Gen’s Agent Trust Hub (ATH) — a free security platform launched in February 2026 designed to help individuals and organizations govern AI agent behavior before and during deployment.

According to Gen’s official announcement and a StockTitan summary published five days prior, the Agent Trust Hub includes:

  • AI Skills Scanner — pre-scans OpenClaw skill URLs for known malicious patterns and policy violations before installation
  • Audited AI Skills Marketplace — a curated directory of vetted skills with security review attestations
  • Runtime monitoring — behavioral monitoring during agent execution, designed to detect unexpected actions or data exfiltration attempts

The event will offer hands-on previews of how the ATH integrates with OpenClaw to support “secure, real-world deployment of AI personal assistant agents,” per the official PRNewswire release.

Why This Partnership Matters

Howie Xu, Gen’s Chief AI & Innovation Officer, framed the event with a signal sentence: “AI agents are moving quickly from concept to real-world action, making security and trust critical.”

That framing is exactly right, and it explains why a cybersecurity giant is paying attention to an open-source AI agent project. OpenClaw has grown to a user base where its attack surface now matters to enterprise security teams. An agent with autonomous execution capability — one that can access email, write files, make web requests, and manage calendars — is a fundamentally different risk profile than a read-only chatbot.

Gen’s decision to build and demo a free trust layer for OpenClaw is a vote of confidence in the platform’s staying power. Security vendors don’t build governance tooling for products they expect to disappear.

Josh Avant and the OpenClaw Security Team

The event will include a fireside chat featuring Josh Avant from the OpenClaw security team — an indication that OpenClaw’s own team is actively engaged in building out its enterprise and security story. The “OpenClaw security team” as a named entity suggests organizational maturity beyond a typical open-source hobby project.

Time-Sensitive: Two Days Out

If you’re in San Francisco this week and work in security, agentic AI, or AI infrastructure, this event is worth attending. The post-RSA timing is deliberate: RSA is the flagship security conference, and this event is positioned to catch security professionals while they’re already in town and primed to think about enterprise AI risk.

Gen’s invitation is targeted at “leading builders, founders, and security experts.” The event is exclusive — details on registration or capacity haven’t been published in the official release, so check Gen’s Agent Trust Hub page for access information.
