June 2025 Event: Agent vs Agent: The Future of AI-Powered Cyber Warfare
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.
