From Myth(os)ical to Practical

Building the foundation for resilience in the age of AI

Wednesday, October 7, 2026 11 a.m. EST Live Zoom Session Stephen Frethem, Vimal Navis, and Gavin Mead

Reducing attacker reach in the age of AI-accelerated threats

AI is contributing to compress the timeline between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation, potentially giving adversaries the same speed and scale advantages defenders are trying to harness. Patch and exposure management, when augmented with data security and access governance, give defenders capabilities and greater scale and speed needed to help confront the threat.

Join Vimal Navis and Gavin Mead from PwC US, and Stephen Fretham from Varonis for a practical look at how data security and access governance form the foundation of modern resilience, especially as AI agents and copilots take on greater access to enterprise data.
