Security ResearchHERs Meetup & Tenable
If you've ever felt like the only woman in the room doing security research, this meetup is for YOU!
We're bringing women researchers from across the industry to share experiences, swap ideas, and build the connections we wish we had earlier. We'll dig into AI in research, career growth, and the stuff no one talks about.
Good drinks. Better conversations.

18:50 - Sapir Schneider (Security Researcher, Microsoft): Breaking the Black Box: 3 Ways Your AI Agent Fails doing security
AI agents are transforming security research, but only when they actually work. In this session, we'll demystify how AI tools operate under the hood (tokens, context windows, and tool integrations) and walk through three real-world cybersecurity research scenarios where AI falls flat. You'll learn why your agent forgets mid-task, why it suddenly stops producing useful output, and why it can't seem to do what you need — plus practical fixes for each. Whether you're prompting ChatGPT or orchestrating autonomous agents, you'll leave with actionable techniques to get more out of AI in your security workflow.
