AI Insiders: Cybersecurity

​Where Intelligence Meets Defense
Autonomous agents and LLMs are shredding dwell time, while spawning brand-new zero-days. This invite-only salon unites the builders, breakers, and backers shaping the next decade of cyber resilience.

​Why It Matters

​AI Insiders is not a conference. It’s a vertical intelligence network.
Each gathering is laser-focused on a specific sector, because AI’s impact is not one-size-fits-all.

​This month: Cybersecurity.

• ​Attack surfaces are growing.

• ​LLMs and agents are already being exploited.

• ​Security teams need new mental models, and fast.

​If you’re an AI founder, cybersecurity leader, investor, or enterprise builder, this is where you want to be.
