Houston CSA December
Topic: AI Penetration Testing & AI Red Teaming
As organizations rapidly adopt Agentic AI to automate complex processes, the traditional cybersecurity playbook falls short. Autonomous, goal-driven AI agents can plan, reason, act, and adapt independently, which dramatically transforms the modern enterprise threat landscape. How do you defend systems that operate with their own agency?
Join the Houston Cloud Security Alliance on December 17th from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM for an interactive, holiday-themed exploration of AI Penetration Testing and AI Red Teaming. This session will peel back the digital layers on securing next-generation AI workflows, moving beyond model behaviors to challenge autonomous agent ecosystems.
Whether you are a security practitioner, red teamer, or cloud architect, this meeting will equip you with the practical methodologies and framework strategies required to proactive assess, exploit, and secure Agentic AI deployments before adversary groups do.
Houston Cloud Security Alliance December Chapter Meeting
🎄 AI Penetration Testing & AI Red Teaming: The December Edition 🎄
Date: Thursday, December 17th, 2026
Time: 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM (CST)
Location: Microsoft Offices
Theme: Festive, Edge-Tech Cyber Red Teaming (Ugly Christmas sweaters and cyber-gear welcome!)
Why Attend?
Autonomous AI agents present a revolutionary leap forward in automation, but they also introduce complex, uncharted security vulnerabilities. Standard offensive testing can’t keep up with self-orchestrated models.
At this highly technical and interactive session, we will unpack how to transition from traditional defense to continuous, offensive AI red teaming. Attendees will leave with a blueprint on how to locate, prioritize, and isolate vulnerabilities across complex, agentic environments.
Key Event Highlights:
Breaking the Autonomous Brain: Discover the nuances of "Agentic AI" behavior, understanding the critical difference between isolated language models and autonomous multi-agent swarms in enterprise pipelines.
Exploring New Attack Vectors: Dive into the 5 critical exploit frontiers of AI Red Teaming, covering:
Permission Escalation & Trust Boundary Violations
Hallucination Exploitation & Indirect Prompt Injections
Orchestration Flaws & Memory Manipulation
AI Supply Chain & Dependency Hijacking
Autonomous Failure Modes & Attack Blast Radii
From Theory to Action: Gain a detailed, actionable Red Teaming Framework built specifically for the testing of full agent workflows, inter-agent dependencies, and real-world failure behaviors.
Collaborative Discussion & Networking: Mix and mingle with fellow Houston-area cyber leaders, CISOs, AppSec specialists, and AI researchers over holiday cheer, while exchanging frontline strategies on minimizing AI security risks.
Benefits of Attending:
Validate & Secure: Learn how to ensure your organization’s Agentic AI implementations effectively enforce role boundaries, maintain context integrity, and quickly detect anomalies.
Future-Proof Your Security Program: Understand the paradigm shift needed to change offensive AI testing from a "one-off" test into a continuous enterprise function.
Get Ahead of the Threat: Proactively challenge your autonomous integrations before adversaries use them against you.
Celebrate the holidays with the Houston CSA and gear up to protect your enterprise against autonomous threat frontiers. We'll see you there!
