AI Storm Readiness Summit: Cybersecurity in the AI Era

The storm of vulnerability disclosures from Project Glasswing is the first of many large waves of AI-discovered vulnerabilities that may occur in rapid sequence. Throughout this summit, attendees will have the opportunity to examine how advances in AI are reshaping the cybersecurity landscape by dramatically increasing the likelihood that attackers can discover new vulnerabilities, develop novel exploits, and execute complex automated attacks at scale. While AI is also accelerating vulnerability remediation and improving software quality, security leaders are facing a growing asymmetry: the inherent limitations of patching, operational constraints, and expanding attack surfaces create a heavier burden for defenders than for attackers. The session will explore the strategic implications of this shift, including compressed timelines between vulnerability discovery and exploitation, increased incident frequency, and the need to reassess traditional risk models and security assumptions.

Attendees will gain practical guidance on building a more resilient, AI-ready security program capable of operating at machine speed. Topics include modernizing vulnerability management, strengthening foundational security controls such as segmentation, zero trust, and phishing-resistant authentication, accelerating incident response through automation, and leveraging AI-powered agents to improve security operations, code review, and risk reduction. Designed for CISOs, security executives, and board-level stakeholders, the event provides a roadmap for aligning people, processes, governance, and technology to address the next generation of cyber threats while enabling organizations to securely capitalize on the business benefits of AI.
