The people whose word settles it

Every vendor sounds the same, so nothing gets decided. We brought people with no reason to agree with each other. What changed, what to do about it, and how enterprises are already proving it works.

Three Decades in Security.
This One Is Different.

Mikko Hyppönen

In this session Mikko Hyppönen sets out what actually changed. Four numbers, one conclusion: you cannot patch, schedule, or predict your way out of this. He has watched every prior shift in this industry, and he speaks as an independent voice, so you get the picture as it is rather than as a vendor would frame it.

Proof at Machine Speed

Volkan Erturk, Co-founder and CTO, Picus Security

This is one of the most important sessions you will attend this year. Volkan Erturk shows how to be ready for Mythos-class attacks: why you cannot patch past the volume, why weekly testing cannot hold against daily change, and what closes both.

See It Run: The Loop, Live

RC Christopher and Autumn Stambaugh, Picus Security

In this session our architects walk a real day, live in the product, nothing pre-recorded.

  • 08:00A brand new vulnerability lands. No patch, no working exploit, and your board is already asking whether you are exposed.
  • 08:30You validate the chain the CVE would need and get an answer while everyone else is still waiting for one.
  • 10:00A working proof of concept appears. You fire it safely at your own controls and see exactly what blocked and what missed.
  • 11:00The fix ships and the attack path is re-validated as closed, before the day is out.

Agenda · Session 4 · CISO Fireside

Duration · 30 mins

Hear It From the CISOs:
Preparing for Mythos-Class AI Attacks

Security leaders from Chanel, Atlassian and National Football League (NFL)

Three peers answer the questions your board is asking. What they changed, what they stopped doing, what broke on the way, and how they got comfortable letting the loop run with a named human still signing off. You leave with precedent you can cite internally.
