10:15 AM – 11:00 PM - Intelligence at the Speed of AI

Agentic AI is rapidly changing the rules for both cyber attackers and defenders. The ability to automate large-scale attacks means agencies must evolve toward mission-ready, autonomous defense. This shift requires automation-grade intelligence, managed autonomy with human oversight, and integration at scale across complex government security environments. This session will explore how these insights inform both current and next-generation Autonomous Threat Operations.
