The Next Frontier: Autonomous Security and RSAC Interviews from Quantro & SandboxAQ - Marc Manzano, Mark Hughes, Mehul Revankar - BSW #445

Attackers are increasingly weaponizing frontier models to accelerate the entire attack lifecycle, with current and emerging models reducing the time and expertise needed to start disruptive attacks. As offensive capabilities become more automated and agentic, organizations will need security programs that are equally autonomous, coordinated and continuous. But where do you start? Mark Hughes, Global Managing Partner, Cybersecurity Services at IBM, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss autonomous security, the next frontier of cybersecurity services. IBM recently announced IBM Autonomous Security, a separate service that uses AI agents to analyze software exposures and runtime environments. Mark will discuss the fears and hype of AI and how agentic AI agents can identify paths in an enterprise security environment that can be exploited, improve cyber hygiene, and enforce security policies. As frontier models, like Mythos, accelerate attacks, security programs need to respond with speed, at scale, to drive the right business outcomes. AI Agents for Vulnerability Management Introducing Quantro Security, Inc., a new agentic AI solution bringing AI agents to vulnerability management. The company is focused on applying agentic AI to help address modern security challenges. In this interview, we'll learn more about Quantro Security, Inc., its approach, and what this new solution means for the future of vulnerability management.

The Guardrails are Gone: The Onus for AI Security Is On the Enterprise AI model providers are increasingly stepping back from enforcing guardrails, putting the responsibility for AI security squarely on enterprises. But most organizations don't yet have the visibility to meet that responsibility, facing a blind spot across the broader ecosystem of AI systems already operating in their environments. Closing that gap requires unified visibility across both AI systems and the cryptographic infrastructure they touch, so security teams can assess risk and act on it in one place.
