Topic:

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.

What happens when the battlefield is AI vs AI?
This talk explores the coming age of autonomous cyber warfare—how both sides will weaponize intelligent agents, and what it means for the future of security operations.

Key Topics Covered

Rise of AI-powered cybersecurity agents
Offensive vs defensive automation in cyber warfare
How autonomous agents will change the role of the human analyst
Ethical, strategic, and operational implications of AI on the front lines
Emerging threats from adversarial use of AI in persistent attacks

Topic:

They say the world runs on open source—but your business runs on commercial software. From ERP systems to messaging platforms, these tools are deeply embedded in your operations. And they’re under attack.

According to a recent Gartner survey, 83% of cybersecurity professionals uncover risks embedded within vendor applications after deployment. Traditional methods—like SBOMs and questionnaires—just aren’t enough.

Join us for “The Unseen Risk”, a critical conversation led by Charlie Jones, Director of Product at ReversingLabs. Learn how to uncover hidden threats in your commercial software stack—before it’s too late.

Key Topics Covered:

What’s really in the software you buy—and why it matters
Why SBOMs and vendor questionnaires often fall short
Tools for analyzing commercial software without source code
Best practices for CISOs managing SSCS threats in modern environments

Why Attend:

Discover risks that may be hiding inside tools you trust
Explore new, proactive techniques beyond legacy methods
Gain insights from a leader shaping software supply chain security
Connect with cybersecurity peers tackling the same issues
