Cyber in the age of AI

​As AI evolves from simple chatbots to autonomous "agents" executing complex workflows, era is rapidly shifting. These tools introduce novel vulnerabilities including prompt injection, cascading failures and “shadow AI” that traditional cybersecurity playbooks are not equipped to handle.

​The tools once reserved for sovereign-level cyber defence are now sitting in everyone’s browser—including attackers’. As AI agents gain access to sensitive systems on both sides of the fight, the security bar every enterprise needs has quietly become national-security grade.

​Join us as we explore how security teams can move from reactive defense to proactive, identity-based governance. Featuring experts from Wiz, Main Sequence, and leading AI-native deep tech startups, we’ll cover how to establish full visibility across cloud and AI environments.
