May Chapter Meeting

Is your security framework ready for AI that acts, not just talks?

As we move beyond simple chatbots into the era of Agentic AI, the threat landscape is shifting beneath our feet. These systems don't just generate text; they execute tasks, make decisions, and interact with environments autonomously. For cybersecurity professionals, this introduces a radical new set of vulnerabilities and attack vectors.

Join the ISSA Colorado Springs Chapter for an evening of deep-dive insights as we welcome Dr. Tomas Pena to explore the intersection of autonomous intelligence and information security.

This session is designed to move past the hype and into the practical realities of AI security. Dr. Pena will guide us through:

• The Rise of the Agent: An essential introduction to Agentic AI systems and how they differ from traditional LLMs.
• The New Threat Landscape: A look at the recent history of discovered threats and the evolution of AI-enabled cyber attacks.
• Offensive Agentic AI: Understanding how adversaries are leveraging autonomous agents to automate reconnaissance and exploitation.
• Threat Modeling for the AI Era: Strategies to identify and map vulnerabilities within agent-based architectures.
• Defense & Mitigation: Practical strategies for securing your organization against the next generation of autonomous threats.
