These informal discussions allow you to share your insights and learn from the lessons, approaches and experiences of a diverse group of peers in virtual breakout rooms.

Join fellow CISOs in the New York community to discuss:

The Rise of Fully Autonomous Cyber Threats

The Critical Need for Continuous, AI-Driven Risk Prioritization

Hackers Have Gone Autonomous, Have You?

Autonomous offense demands autonomous defense. In July 2026, an unreleased OpenAI model discovered a zero-day, hijacked a cloud service, and breached a major production environment—executing 17,613  actions in five days, with no human involved. Meanwhile, enterprises continue to find and fix millions of vulnerabilities at human speed, creating a critical mismatch that has become the biggest risk multiplier in security.

Join this town hall to learn:

  • How an AI agent chained a zero-day and 17,613 actions into a full breach — zero humans involved
  • Why continuous, autonomous risk prioritization across enterprise and third-party environments is no longer optional
  • What it takes to shift vulnerability management from reactive and manual to proactive, machine-speed defense
