Frontier AI models can now discover and exploit vulnerabilities at a speed and scale no human team can match, shrinking the window from disclosure to exploitation from weeks to minutes. Leaders in Washington have responded in force. A new executive order directs agencies to harden systems with AI-enabled defenses, benchmark frontier models before release, and coordinate vulnerability remediation at national scale. The mandate is explicit. The capabilities driving the threat must become the foundation of the defense.
This webinar brings frontline experience from early frontier model testing to the federal leaders navigating that mandate. We will separate hype from real risk, examine the shift from AI-assisted to autonomous attacks, and share a practical framework for finding exposures before adversaries weaponize them, hardening the structural weak points where AI-driven attacks spread, and building operations that detect, contain, and recover at machine speed.
Key Takeaways:
-
What early testing of frontier AI models revealed about vulnerability discovery at machine speed
-
How the latest executive order and CISA directives reshape agency obligations
-
Why autonomous attacks change the math on detection and response timelines
- How agencies can uncover exposures and structural weaknesses before adversaries operationalize them
- What it takes to detect, contain, and recover at machine speed without surrendering human oversight
Attendees will hear directly from practitioners who tested frontier models before public release, and will leave with a concrete set of questions to pressure-test agency readiness against the next generation of AI-driven attacks.
