Fireside Chat with Rob Joyce & Madison Horn: AI, Critical Infrastructure, and the New Reality of Cyber Defense Post Mythos
Event Overview
Artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the economics of cyber conflict. What began as incremental advances in automation has rapidly evolved into AI systems capable of discovering vulnerabilities, developing exploits, accelerating operational planning, and compressing the time between exposure and attack. The introduction of frontier models such as Mythos marked an important inflection point—but the more important story is what has happened since. Join Rob Joyce, former White House Cybersecurity Advisor and former NSA Cybersecurity Director, and Madison Horn, Chief Advisor for National Security & Critical Infrastructure at World Wide Technology, for a fireside conversation exploring how AI is reshaping cyber risk for the utility and energy sector and why many of today's security assumptions no longer hold.

Goals and Objectives
The conversation will challenge conventional thinking around vulnerability management, operational resilience, and executive risk. As AI compresses the timeline from vulnerability discovery to exploitation—from months, to weeks, to potentially hours—the answer cannot simply be to "patch faster." Leaders must rethink how they prioritize risk, validate exploitability, build resilient architectures, measure defensive effectiveness, and prepare organizations to operate at machine speed.
