From AI agents to identity abuse, ATLSECCON 2026 focused on how security teams can reduce exposure, improve visibility, and make trust enforceable while moving ever faster.
The rise of AI-driven vulnerability discovery using Anthropic's Claude Mythos, as well as similar tools from Google and OpenAI, is completely changing the calculus of cyber risk. The number of vulnerabilities is exploding. The time it takes for exploits to appear is shrinking. The patching cadences and scan intervals, assessments and risk registers that many organizations still rely on are rapidly becoming ineffective.
NIST CSF 2.0 expands the Cybersecurity Framework into a broader, risk-based model centered on governance, making leadership accountable for cybersecurity as an enterprise risk. It introduces a sixth core function, enhances supply chain and privacy integration, and improves usability for organizations of all sizes. Profiles, tiers, and new implementation resources help align security efforts with business objectives and evolving threat landscapes.
Most of the work covered in our agentic security operations content assumes one thing: Claude Code is already connected to your LimaCharlie environment. If you haven't done that yet, this is your starting point.
Today, we’re introducing Approval Escalation, a new capability in Apono that automatically moves access requests forward when the original approver doesn’t respond in time. Because no one should be stuck waiting seven hours just to do their job.
When you first step into the world of machining, it's easy to assume that all hole-making processes are basically the same. A hole is a hole, right? Not quite. If you've ever had a part fail tolerance checks or struggled with surface finish issues, you already know that the details matter. That's where the debate of drilling vs boring comes in. These two processes may look similar on the surface, but they serve very different purposes in real-world manufacturing. Choosing the wrong one can cost time, money, and even your reputation.
The average internet user now leaks more personal data in a single day of routine browsing than most people disclosed in a decade two generations ago. Ad networks track page views, data brokers aggregate public records into sellable dossiers, and AI systems ingest everything from social posts to leaked databases to build inferred profiles of individuals. Privacy Rights Clearinghouse has catalogued more than 750 data brokers operating in the United States alone, and industry analysts estimate the broader data-broker economy will grow past half a trillion dollars by the end of the decade.
There’s a little neighborhood coffee shop I love that runs like a Swiss watch. Every night, the owner doesn’t just flip the sign to “Closed.” They run a checklist: count the till, lock the back door, log fridge temps, sanitize the espresso wand, test the alarm, and write it all down. Not because they expect trouble, but because consistency is foundational to security. The shop earns trust the boring way: by doing the right things, repeatedly, even when nobody’s watching.
In “Terminator 2“, the T-800 does not win because humans worked harder. It wins because the same machine capability that made it dangerous was reprogrammed to fight for the defenders. Project Glasswing is exactly that. Claude Mythos Preview is Anthropic’s most powerful AI model and the one they refused to release publicly because it autonomously found thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across every major operating system and browser. Flaws that decades of expert review never caught.
The last generation of Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) software built a multi-billion dollar ecosystem by becoming systems of record for risk. ServiceNow became the system of IT workflows. Archer for audits. Diligent for policy management. Own the control framework, own the workflow, own the audit trail. It worked: for a world where risk moved slowly enough to be captured annually. That world is gone. Point in time attestations are obsolete. The Apple Watch didn’t replace the annual checkup.
