Attackers are increasingly weaponizing frontier models to accelerate the entire attack lifecycle, with current and emerging models reducing the time and expertise needed to start disruptive attacks. As offensive capabilities become more automated and agentic, organizations will need security programs that are equally autonomous, coordinated and continuous. But where do you start?
Mark Hughes, Global Managing Partner, Cybersecurity Services at IBM, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss autonomous security, the next frontier of cybersecurity services. IBM recently announced IBM Autonomous Security, a separate service that uses AI agents to analyze software exposures and runtime environments. Mark will discuss the fears and hype of AI and how agentic AI agents can identify paths in an enterprise security environment that can be exploited, improve cyber hygiene, and enforce security policies. As frontier models, like Mythos, accelerate attacks, security programs need to respond with speed, at scale, to drive the right business outcomes.
AI Agents for Vulnerability Management Introducing Quantro Security, Inc., a new agentic AI solution bringing AI agents to vulnerability management. The company is focused on applying agentic AI to help address modern security challenges. In this interview, we'll learn more about Quantro Security, Inc., its approach, and what this new solution means for the future of vulnerability management.

The Guardrails are Gone: The Onus for AI Security Is On the Enterprise AI model providers are increasingly stepping back from enforcing guardrails, putting the responsibility for AI security squarely on enterprises. But most organizations don't yet have the visibility to meet that responsibility, facing a blind spot across the broader ecosystem of AI systems already operating in their environments. Closing that gap requires unified visibility across both AI systems and the cryptographic infrastructure they touch, so security teams can assess risk and act on it in one place.

Portswigger's list of web hacking techniques is a long-running celebration of curiosity and research from the web hacking community. James Kettle shares his thoughts on the entries from 2025 and how he expects LLMs and agents to influence what the list will look like for next year. He also shares some insights on using LLMs for his own blackbox research, giving us a peek into the work he'll be sharing at Black Hat USA this summer.

Rethinking Security from the OS Up in the Age of AI
Karen Heart discusses a file-system–first approach to security, arguing that most modern attacks—including ransomware and supply chain compromises—succeed because they inherit user permissions and operate inside overly trusted system structures.
She explains how limiting file access, socket (network) access, and privilege escalation at the operating system level can reduce entire classes of attacks. Rather than relying on reactive detection, her approach emphasizes immutable, allowlisted controls embedded close to the kernel layer, designed to prevent both data exfiltration and malicious code execution at the source.
The conversation also explores how AI agents and contractors expand the attack surface, reinforcing the need for strict isolation, backup protection, and deterministic system boundaries.

​The New Era of DNS Resilience: Breaking down the newly finalized NIST SP 800-81 Craig Sanderson from Infoblox will dive into the newly finalized NIST SP 800-81 as it marks a pivotal shift in DNS security, emphasizing resilience through modernized practices tailored for today's distributed, cloud-driven, and threat-laden environments. This update provides actionable guidance for organizations to strengthen DNS infrastructure against evolving threats like ransomware and data exfiltration, while prioritizing initiatives like DNSSEC, encryption, and protective DNS for immediate risk reduction.

Agentic AI and the Future of Threat Intelligence Operations Security teams collect large volumes of threat intelligence but often struggle to translate that information into coordinated operational response. This discussion explores how organizations are embedding intelligence directly into security workflows and introducing AI agents to support investigation, enrichment and response. Sachin will discuss Cyware's Agentic Fabric approach and the evolution toward an agent-centric model, where a portfolio of specialized agents assists analysts across threat intelligence, detection engineering and response workflows. The conversation will focus on how AI can support security teams while maintaining human oversight and operational control.

Beyond the Audit: Making Cyber Risk Continuous, Quantified, and Actionable Most companies assess cyber risk once a year and call it done — but for organizations managing dozens of subsidiaries or portfolio companies, that's a costly blind spot. In this RSA interview, Resilience's VP of Customer Engagement explores why measuring risk in dollars (not color-coded charts) changes the conversation at the board level, and why the organizations best positioned to prevent losses are the ones treating cyber risk as a continuous discipline rather than an annual exercise.

Delinea: Redefining Identity Security for the Agentic AI Era As enterprises scale agentic AI and automation, privileged access is increasingly required by non-human identities (NHIs) that operate autonomously across hybrid and cloud-native environments, introducing risks that static, credential-based models were never designed to govern.
