Artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the pace of cybersecurity. As attacks can be launched, adapted, and scaled in a matter of minutes to hours, security leaders must shift from traditional response models to Agentic AI detection, triage, analysis, and containment. Human in the loop is too slow and should be reserved for alerts, out-of-band responses and responses with potentially large impact. The rapid evolution of AI has pushed into obsolescence long-standing organizational practices for managing cyber risk, forcing CISOs to rethink security operations, governance, and resilience in an increasingly AI-operated world.
Join the Seattle CISO Dinner to explore how AI is reshaping both offensive and defensive cybersecurity, the emergence of autonomous security capabilities, and the strategies and operating models that will best position organizations for the future. The conversation will also examine the longer-term implications of increasingly autonomous AI systems and what they could mean for trust, governance, and cyber resilience.
Discussion Themes:
- Agentic AI attacks at machine speed: How AI is accelerating both cyber attacks and security operations, requiring organizations to make decisions in real time.
- From human initiated to autonomous defense: How multi-agent AI systems are transforming security operations through automated detection and response.
- Rethinking security strategy: Which security practices remain effective, what needs to evolve, and how CISOs should prepare for an AI-native operating environment.
- Looking beyond today's AI: What increasingly capable autonomous systems could mean for governance, trust, and resilience.
