Agentic to Autonomous: Where Cybersecurity stands in the face of AI
Alex Levinson, Chief Information Security Officer at Scale AI, operates at the convergence of offensive tradecraft and defensive strategy. Drawing on a career that bridges the gap between high-stakes red teaming and the engineering of AI-native defense, Levinson presents a forward-looking roadmap for the next half-decade of cyber operations. This session charts the industry's treacherous journey from today’s assisted "Agentic" systems toward the "North Star" of Level 5—fully autonomous, self-defending networks that operate without human intervention. We will move beyond the hype to discuss the concrete signs of this transition: the emergence of "Deep Research" capabilities, the shifting metrics of success from "detection speed" to "outcome validity," and the new "digital exhaust" that defines machine-led operations. Levinson explores how the democratization of offensive AI necessitates a fundamental reshaping of defense, guiding the audience through the "Uncanny Valley" of autonomy where the risks of complacency and loss of control are highest.
