As cybersecurity threats evolve in speed and sophistication, the tools defending against them must evolve faster. In this featured talk, Brett Ewing explores how autonomous AI agents are being developed and deployed for offensive cybersecurity—proactively identifying vulnerabilities, probing defenses, and simulating adversarial behavior at scale. This session will offer a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build secure, explainable, and mission-ready AI agents capable of operating in high-stakes cyber environments. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of what’s possible, what’s next, and why agentic AI is rapidly becoming essential to national and enterprise security strategies.
