About Event
AI systems can now find and exploit vulnerabilities faster than any human red team could catch them. As offensive AI becomes fully automated, human-in-the-loop defence simply can't keep pace, and that gap is forcing cyber defence companies and red-teamers to rethink how much of their own testing and response should run autonomously too.
This edition brings together women working directly on AI-driven cybersecurity: testing systems to find where they break, and building the defensive tooling and products designed to catch and patch vulnerabilities at machine speed. We'll explore what it actually takes to automate the core defensive loop, not just detection, but patching and response, and why doing it partially may leave defenders worse off than before.
Your speakers
A Senior National Security Official - GCHQ
Sunaina Aytan - AI Cyber Security Lead at BAE Systems

This edition brings together women working across that spectrum, from evaluating frontier models for loss-of-control and safeguard risks, to red-teaming AI to find where it breaks, to building autonomous agents inside regulated industries.
