Business Hall Theater B | Show Floor
Join Aamir Lakhani, Sr. Manager of Threat Intelligence, Fortinet
From simple automation to advanced red teaming, AI is rapidly reshaping how defenders detect and respond to cyber threats. But adversaries are adapting just as quickly—weaponizing AI to generate polymorphic malware, automate phishing, and accelerate exploit development.
This session pulls from real-world investigations and threat intel to expose how attackers are jailbreaking AI tools, embedding LLMs into malware, and abusing open-source models to scale attacks faster than ever before. We’ll explore actual attack flows, analyze threat actor behavior in the wild, and walk through case studies that demonstrate how AI is already changing the threat landscape.
Attendees will gain insight into how AI expands the attack surface, what new TTPs are emerging, and which immediate defensive strategies and tooling can help close the gap. This isn’t about hypothetical threats—this is about what’s happening right now, and what defenders need to do next.
Featured Panel Session - To Be or Not to Be a CISO
Date: Wednesday, August 6
Time: 2:30 PM
Lagoon Ballroom | Second Level
Join Carl Windsor, CISO - Fortinet and 2 other CISOs
Panel Discussion:
Panelists: Ty Sbano, CISO - Vercel, Gursev Singh Kalra , VP, Product Security - Salesforce, Carl Windsor, CISO - Fortinet
What does it really mean to become a CISO in today's cybersecurity landscape? This panel brings together seasoned security leaders and technical veterans to debate the realities of stepping into the CISO chair. We'll explore the upsides — strategic influence, budget control, executive presence — and the tradeoffs: burnout, legal exposure, and the constant push-pull between technical priorities and business goals. The panel will also highlight alternate leadership and IC (individual contributor) paths for those who want impact without the CISO baggage. Expect a candid, unscripted conversation about ambition, tradeoffs, and whether the CISO path is worth pursuing — or avoiding.
