What to expect during Black Hat USA: Join theCUBE Aug. 5-6

Artificial intelligence is transforming the landscape of cybersecurity, with advanced autonomous attacks posing a significant threat. The Open Secure AI Alliance, launched this week, highlights the industry's focus on securing AI, with major names such as Nvidia, IBM, and Adobe joining the initiative. Black Hat USA, an annual cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas, will address these challenges during its upcoming event.

Krista Case, principal analyst at theCUBE Research, notes that AI is becoming an integral part of security teams, attack surfaces, and enterprise operations. TheCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's livestreaming studio, will provide comprehensive coverage of Black Hat USA, including discussions on the latest developments from companies like Fortinet, Elastic, and Menlo Security.

The conference will also explore how security leaders are responding to AI-driven threats, expanding attack surfaces, and the pressure to protect complex cloud, application, and identity environments. Recent events, such as the breach at Hugging Face Inc., underscore the need for new safeguards to manage AI agents within enterprises.

Microsoft's introduction of its first cybersecurity model, MAI-Cyber-1-Flash, as part of its Project Perception, showcases the growing emphasis on AI agents that can defend against agentic attacks.
