Opening Plenary - High-Level Panel: Survival of the Fittest - Leveraging Agentic AI in Cyber Operations

13 October 2026 (Tuesday)
Time: 11.00am to 11.45am (GMT +8)
Venue: SICW A (Level 3, Heliconia 3401 - 3506)

Agentic AI is rapidly moving from experimentation into real-world cyber operations, introducing new attack capabilities and expanding the attack surface. This shift is placing increasing pressure on traditional security models, which were not designed for systems that can plan, act, and execute tasks autonomously. As AI agents move into live environments, conventional controls struggle to keep pace with systems that behave and fail in fundamentally different ways.

This session examines the dual impact of agentic AI on cybersecurity, exploring how it is reshaping today’s threat landscape, and how threat actors leverage AI agents to scale reconnaissance and accelerate vulnerability discovery. Hear from our panel of cybersecurity practitioners and technical leaders as they share practical insights drawn from the field on securing agentic AI and defending against AI-powered attacks.
