The Security Foundation

The 2026 Topical Forum focused on how artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the security landscape — for defenders and adversaries alike. This private, peer-driven forum brought  together security leaders, intelligence practitioners, engineers, and risk experts to cut through the hype and examine what AI really means for security operations today.

Through practical case studies, candid peer discussions, threat briefings, and governance workshops, participants explored real-world use cases, adversary applications, emerging risks, workforce implications, and the guardrails needed to deploy AI responsibly.

Attendees left with a clearer understanding of where AI adds value, where it introduces risk, and how to prepare their organizations for what comes next — grounded in trusted dialogue among vetted security professionals.
