CISO Roundtable w/Antler
A closed-door evening for CISOs and security leaders to see what's being built at the frontier of AI security and compare notes with peers. Chatham House Rule.
About this event
HubScale and Antler are bringing back CISO Shark Tank for a third round.
The format is simple. Antler brings four to five early-stage companies from their accelerator building at the intersection of AI and security. We fill the room with CISOs and security leaders. The founders demo, pitch, and take your questions. Then everyone eats, drinks, and talks honestly about what's working and what isn't.
What's on the table this time
Every company in the room is working on a version of the same question: now that AI agents, coding assistants, and MCP connectors are running inside your environment, how do you see them, govern them, and stop them doing something crazy?
Expect to see:
Device-level visibility and control over the AI apps, agents, and connectors employees are actually using, with the ability to trace prompts, tool calls, and outcomes and block risky actions in real time
Discovery and governance of autonomous agents in production, with policy enforcement, tamper-evident audit trails, and kill switches to keep you audit-ready
A governed context layer for AI coding agents, so sensitive architecture, customer, and product details only reach the right agent at the right time
Continuous adversarial testing that treats your attack surface the way an attacker would, not the way a quarterly pen test does
Two of the founders are building right here in Austin.
