Navigating the Frontier AI Threat Landscape

July 28, 2026

The cybersecurity landscape is shifting rapidly from AI-assisted to fully autonomous, AI-driven attacks.

With frontier AI models boosting coding efficiency by 50%, offensive capabilities like automated vulnerability scanning and real-time exploit generation have taken a quantum leap.

Within the next six months, autonomous attack agents will become commonplace, weaponizing new vulnerabilities and executing full attack cycles in under 15 minutes—rendering traditional, siloed security operations obsolete.

PwC, alongside experts from Palo Alto Networks Unit 42® and Anthropic, addresses how organizations can close these critical defensive gaps.

We will dissect the mechanics of autonomous threats, systemic supply chain risks, and why traditional severity-based vulnerability management fails against AI-driven exploit chaining. PwC will outline a practical roadmap to achieving "Autonomous Resilience" using the Frontier AI Defense framework, demonstrating how to secure your enterprise stack at machine speed.

Presenters:
Matt Gregson, Principal, Cyber, Data and Tech Risk, PwC US.
Troy Bettencourt, Vice President, Digital Forensics and Incident Response, Palo Alto Networks Unit 42®.
Chris Donlan, Applied AI Architect, Anthropic.

Who should attend: Cybersecurity and information technology executives.
