RLC […]

Build a composable AI infrastructure Stack with RLC Pro AI and CIQ

Brian Dawson from CIQ discusses the need for a composable AI infrastructure stack, advocating for an “AI kit” approach over fixed “AI factories.” He highlights that the AI technical evolution cycle is moving faster than ever, with every layer of the stack, including hardware, evolving on rapid cycles (one to three months or within a […]

Aviatrix We Scored Our Own Security Plan – Here’s What Changed

Matt Snyder of Aviatrix presents durable risk reduction, a scoring model that ranks security work by how much it shrinks an attacker’s reach and how long it holds up, weighed against effort, technical debt, and cost. He shares results from scoring Aviatrix’s own Q3 security plan with an AI agent and the planning commitments that […]

Aviatrix Blast Radius Economics – Pricing What a Compromise Can Reach

Willie Tejada of Aviatrix introduces Blast Radius Economics, an open framework for pricing what a single compromised system can reach. The session explains reachable value at risk, built from system value, reachable share, probability, and time to contain, and positions it alongside CVE-based patching metrics and FAIR as a board-level number for justifying containment budgets. […]

Aviatrix Contain the Blast Radius Without Breaking the App

Chris McHenry of Aviatrix demonstrates how the Cloud Native Security Fabric contains a compromised cloud workload without disrupting applications. The session walks through Aviatrix’s see, insert, enforce, and operate approach, covering agentless gateway insertion, monitor-mode policy simulation, smart groups spanning VMs, Kubernetes, and serverless, policy as code, and the new Active Defense agentic layer for […]

AWS Console Walkthrough and Demo

Ian Olson of Amazon Web Services introduced AWS Network Security Manager, the newly launched successor to AWS Firewall Manager for centrally managing AWS WAF and AWS Shield Advanced. The session demonstrated how policies, scopes, and deployments let central security teams, application teams, and threat analysts collaborate, including granting targeted WAF exceptions at scale and rolling […]

AWS Network Firewall and Route 53 DNS Firewall Deep Dive

Jesse Lepich of Amazon Web Services took a deep dive into AWS Network Firewall and Route 53 DNS Firewall, explaining how the two services secure both the routed and recursive DNS egress paths in AWS environments. The session covered Network Firewall’s managed architecture, MadPot-powered active threat defense, automated domain list learning, and a console walkthrough […]

AWS Security at Machine Speed

Ram Ramani of Amazon Web Services explained what security at machine speed means as AI coding agents multiply the code and changes reaching production. The session introduced AWS Continuum, covering continuously updated threat models, agentic penetration testing on every deploy, and context-driven vulnerability management that proves exploitability in an isolated sandbox before proposing fixes. At […]

Authentic Authorization and Audit for Agentic AI on AWS

Jeff Lombardo of Amazon Web Services demonstrated how AgentCore handles authentication, authorization, and audit for agentic AI. Using a fictional retail company, the session walked through AgentCore Runtime, Gateway, Identity, and Policy, covering JWT-based access to agents, credential translation for legacy systems, delegated OAuth flows, and fine-grained policy enforcement built on the open source Cedar […]

Forward Digital Twin in Action Demo

Renata Budko and Brandon Heller of Forward demonstrated Forward Threat Exposure, a preview application that uses the company’s network digital twin to prioritize vulnerable servers by actual reachability. The session showed exposure analysis from multiple entry points, hop-by-hop attack paths, AI-recommended mitigations, and transitive exposure detection, then made the case for moving exposure management from […]

Forward Verified Exposure Management

Brandon Heller and Renata Budko of Forward previewed a new approach to exposure management built on the company’s network digital twin. The session examined how AI-driven vulnerability discovery is outpacing remediation, why existing exposure assessment tools leave gaps, and how a complete, verified, and preemptive model of on-premises and cloud connectivity can reveal which exposures […]

HPE Fighting AI with AI: Defending Against Zero-Day Threats

Pradeep Hattiangadi and Naveen Toopran of HPE Networking demonstrate the adaptive threat defense framework for SRX firewalls, driven entirely from a third-party AI assistant. Using skills built on the Junos MCP server, the Juniper Secure Analytics MCP server, and Security Director Cloud APIs, they validate policy, tie AI application activity to user identity, and automatically […]

HPE Securing Emerging AI Infrastructure with Central NAC

Mathew George of HPE Networking shows how Aruba Central and its cloud-based Central NAC service support a zero trust approach for complex device estates. Using a fictitious manufacturer, the session covers AI-powered client profiling, tag-based detection of unexpected generative AI traffic, certificate-based authentication policies drawing on identity and endpoint systems, and automatic containment through forced […]

Extending AI-Native Operations Across the Full Stack with HPE

Ram Krishnan and a colleague from HPE Networking’s product management team show the first integration of EdgeConnect SD-WAN into the Mist cloud. The session demonstrates onboarding, full-stack troubleshooting that correlates wireless, wired, WAN, and security data, and Marvis agentic analysis of intrusion events, followed by a preview of EdgeConnect monitoring coming to Aruba Central. Krishnan, […]

HPE Security Reducing Exposure in the AI Era with Unified SASE

Ram Krishnan of HPE Networking demonstrates how the Unified SASE orchestrator brings SD-WAN connectivity, on-premises firewalling, and cloud security into a single management interface.
