Recent incidents involving frontier labs, where their models escape containment and attack other companies, give us a glimpse into the challenging world CISOs will confront in the near future as models with sophisticated cyber capabilities become more generally available. 

In this session, we will step through some of these recent AI-driven attacks and discuss how real this risk will be. We will cover how Fastly is evolving its security program to address this risk, why moving at AI speed requires removing humans as much as possible from incident response and remediation, and what you should be asking your security vendors in response to this evolving threat landscape.
Marshall Erwin, CISO, FASTLY
