Past Meetings

In the past few years, venture capitalists have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into startups developing “cybersecurity digital employees.” These AI-powered agents are engineered to replace or augment human roles in security operations—from SOC analysts to incident responders. Meanwhile, threat actors are deploying their own offensive AI agents capable of persistent and autonomous attacks.

How AI is Changing the Game for Cybersecurity Defenders

​As cyber adversaries weaponize artificial intelligence to accelerate attacks, security leaders face an urgent challenge: How do we harness AI’s power to strengthen our defenses—without introducing new risks?

​Join ISSA Silicon Valley for a special event featuring Ron Eddings, CEO at Hacker Valley Media and Maarten Van Horenbeeck, CISO at Adobe. They will break down practical strategies for embedding AI into your security program while avoiding the common pitfalls of automation for automation’s sake.

Join us for an exclusive event hosted by the Silicon Valley ISSA! Chapter President Mike Skurko will lead an engaging Q&A and discussion with acclaimed cybersecurity journalist Joseph Menn, author of the bestseller Cult of the Dead Cow: How the Original Hacking Supergroup Might Just Save the World. Dive into the origins of hacktivism and ethical security work, and gain insights from Menn's extensive career in cybersecurity journalism. After the discussion, enjoy a book signing where all in-person attendees will receive a free copy of the book!
