The issues landing on security leaders’ desks aren’t waiting for the next planning cycle. AI capabilities are advancing, attackers are moving faster, and a single trusted identity can now open doors across an entire business.

In this candid conversation, Vinnie Liu, CEO at Bishop Fox; Justin Greis, CEO at acceligence; and Evan Wolff, Partner at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, compare notes on what’s changing, what’s being underestimated, and which decisions leaders need to make now as they head into 2027.

This quarter, they’ll dig into:

• Who gets access to advanced cyber capabilities? Programs like OpenAI’s Daybreak are testing ways to put powerful models in trusted hands with stronger safeguards. But the bigger questions around access, monitoring, accountability, and shared responsibility are far from settled.
• What are frontier AI incidents telling us? Recent disclosures from Anthropic and OpenAI offer an early look at what can happen when capable models connect to tools, data, and external systems. Enterprises should pay attention now, before they face the same problems with fewer resources and less visibility.
• Can security programs keep up? Attackers can move from access to impact in minutes. Defenders still lose hours to validation, ownership questions, and approvals. The discussion will explore how offensive testing and AI-assisted defense can help close that gap.
• What should leaders fund, fix, or kill in 2027? As budget decisions take shape, it’s time to pressure-test which investments reduce real risk, and which ones produce reassuring dashboards without proving the business can withstand an attack.
