VaroniCon 2026: Agent Wars

Humans and Agents Shaping the Future of Security

21 October, 2026 17:00 - 20:35 IST Varonis Office | Arie Shenkar 5, Herzliya

The future of cybersecurity is being shaped by autonomous agents.

Some agents discover vulnerabilities. Some exploit them. Some defend against them. And some help researchers uncover threats hidden in an ever-growing sea of data.

VaroniCon brings together security researchers and data scientists to explore how humans and intelligent agents are transforming security research, threat detection, and cyber defense.

Join us for an evening of original research, technical deep dives, and meaningful conversations with the people building the future of security.
