OpenClaw exploded onto the scene in November 2025 and became, by any measure, the fastest-growing open-source project in history. Within months, tens of millions of people were using it to automate their lives — running shell commands, managing files, connecting to messaging platforms, building new agent skills overnight. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang called it “the operating system for personal AI.” But explosive growth brings explosive risk. And on March 23, 2026, at RSA Conference in San Francisco, Cisco decided to do something about it. ...

RSA Conference opened its doors in San Francisco on March 23, 2026, and the message was impossible to miss before the first keynote even ended: agentic AI security is now the primary concern of the entire enterprise security industry. For years, RSAC has been the place where the security industry takes collective stock of where threats are heading. This year, every major vendor arrived with the same answer: AI agents are the new attack surface, and the industry is barely ready for it. ...

But as Cisco’s own engineers put it at RSA Conference 2026 this week: the fastest-growing open source project in history is also a massive target. Their answer is DefenseClaw, an open-source security framework built specifically for OpenClaw deployments. What DefenseClaw Actually Does Cisco unveiled DefenseClaw on Monday at RSAC 2026, the San Francisco security conference that this year has turned almost entirely toward AI agent security. The framework ships with six distinct components designed to close the security gap that’s opened up as OpenClaw adoption has exploded: ...
