Vulns + AI = Oh My! From Sandbox Escapes to Record Patches

Start: July 31, 2026 | 10:30 am ET / 7:30 am PT
End: July 31, 2026 | 11:30 am ET / 8:30 am PT

From the OpenAI breakout to Microsoft’s record-breaking Patch Day surge, AI is reshaping both offense and defense across the cybersecurity landscape. Join IST’s friends and experts on July 31 to cut through the noise, headline hype, and press release launches to figure out what’s happening on the ground.

It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks in cybersecurity, one that’s seen AI reshaping both offense and defense. Join us this Friday as we cut through the noise, headline hype, and press releases to figure out what’s happening on the ground. We’ll cover: 

  • GOLD EAGLE: The White House’s new federal clearinghouse has paired CISA, Treasury, and the Department of War with private industry to speed up vulnerability detection and remediation across critical infrastructure. 
  • The OpenAI/Hugging Face breakout: An experimental AI agent escaped its sandbox, targeted Hugging Face, and forced defenders to use local open-weight models after cloud API guardrails blocked forensic efforts.
  • Patchpalooza: With Microsoft’s record-breaking Patch Tuesday (570+ flaws!), we’re seeing the impact of AI vulnerability discovery on standard patch cadences.

Prep your questions, bring your hot takes, and get ready to hear some debates for the latest edition of Vulns + AI = Oh My!
