The Defender's Window
About This Session
AI and cybersecurity have reached a structural inflection point. Three dynamics are reshaping the strategic landscape: LLM-driven capability gains among lower-tier attackers, defenders’ ability to use LLMs for advanced analysis, and access controls that determine which organizations can deploy the most powerful AI-enabled cyber capabilities.
These forces are creating a limited strategic window in which access governance still provides a defensive advantage, organizations are building AI-powered analytical capabilities, and attackers have not yet exploited LLMs at full scale.
Using the COMPASS framework—Compute, Operations, Models, Power and Utilities, Alliances, and Supply Signals—this session will examine the risks surrounding AI implementations, their implications for enterprise technology stacks, and the actions security leaders can take now.
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the AI-cybersecurity landscape, its emerging governance challenges, and the opportunities available to defenders before this strategic window closes.
