: Massive Coverage: How AI is changing the future of OffSec

: Attackers just got a new tool. Moonshot released Kimi K3 this month: an open-source, 2.8-trillion-parameter model that benchmarks near the top proprietary systems from OpenAI and Anthropic, at a fraction of the cost, with no cyber guardrails. Time-to-exploit is about to drop, and defenders need tools to catch up.

Meanwhile, most companies still test their attack surface once or twice a year. Code ships daily. Assets spin up constantly. By the time a pentest report lands, it's already out of date.

Autonomous AI agents are built for exactly this problem. They discover assets continuously, chain and validate real exploits instead of flagging noise, and in some cases ship fixes as pull requests for engineering teams.

This talk covers what's working today in AI-driven offensive security, where it still fails (false positives, severity judgment calls, safe exploitation in production), and how we are at a point where software is starting to secure itself. With a team from NetSPI, ProjectDiscovery, Anthropic, and OpenAI building autonomous pentesting agents, Brandon Veiseh will help showcase where the future of security is headed.

Brandon Veiseh is Co-founder and CEO of MindFort, a Y Combinator-backed company building fully autonomous AI security agents that find, validate, and patch vulnerabilities in web applications. MindFort serves multiple Fortune 500 companies and has prevented thousands of cyberattacks with AI agents. Before founding MindFort, Brandon led product and engineering at ProjectDiscovery, where he led development of the Nuclei cloud platform from an open-source tool to an enterprise product. He then led the Generative AI group at NetSPI, building generative AI tools for human penetration testers.
