Don’t Miss Horizon3.ai’s Lecture and Workshop
As a leader in autonomous security solutions, Horizon3.ai will be onsite demonstrating how defense organizations can harden their cyber posture, validate operational readiness, and stay ahead of emerging threats through continuous, offense-informed security testing.
Keynote Lecture
Speaker: Tony Pillitiere, CoFounder
Title: Offense Driven Defense: Shifting from Reactive to Proactive Cybersecurity
Session Times & Locations:
- Tuesday, Feb 24 | 1500–1545 | AUD
- Thursday, Feb 26 | 0900–0945 | DEL1
Traditional, reactive security measures are no longer sufficient in today’s escalating threat landscape. Organizations must adopt a proactive approach that anticipates and neutralizes attacks before they occur.
Introducing the Horizon3.ai “Offensive Driven Defense” philosophy, a paradigm shift that prioritizes understanding the attacker’s perspective to fortify defenses. Explore how employing production-safe penetration testing methodologies, mimicking real-world attack scenarios, uncovers critical vulnerabilities often missed by conventional risk assessments.
Equip yourself with actionable insights and practical techniques to move beyond reactive security and embrace a proactive, offense-informed approach, ultimately building a more resilient and secure organization.
Technical Workshop
Speaker: Tim Jones, Federal Technical Director
Title: Autonomous PenTesting with NodeZero
Session Times & Locations:
- Tuesday, Feb 24 |1300–1500 | CSL3
- Wednesday, Feb 25 |1300–1500 | CSL1
- Thursday, Feb 26 |1000–1200 | CSL4
This hands-on technical enablement workshop focuses on NodeZero, Horizon3.ai’s autonomous pentesting platform. Designed for strategic participants and partners, the session provides practical guidance on positioning, deploying, and operationalizing NodeZero in real-world environments.
Participants will learn how to continuously validate security posture, identify and prioritize risk, and accelerate remediation and measurable outcomes; walking away with the knowledge and confidence to deliver trusted, high-impact security results using autonomous pentesting.
