10AM – 11AM
Panel: Detection Engineering Is a Data Engineering Problem
Most detection failures aren't rule failures. They're data failures: gaps in collection, brittle schemas, pipelines too slow to query at the speed an investigation demands. Moderated by RunReveal co-founder and CTO Alan Braithwaite, whose own background is in data infrastructure, the discussion digs into what actually breaks detection at the foundation, and what security teams should be doing differently now that the data layer, not the rule engine, is the real bottleneck.

11:30AM – 12PM
She trusted her entire SDLC to AI. Here's what happened next.
AI made individuals faster and left system delivery flat. The SDLC we called bureaucracy was an immune system… and we switched it off. A look at what the AI vanguard actually does, versus the quotes that get retweeted. Measure the system, not the individual. Acknowledge the costs.

Panel: The New Security Leader
What does it mean to lead a security org when AI is both your biggest tool and your biggest risk? This panel brings together security leaders navigating the organizational, budgetary, and strategic shifts that AI demands — from rethinking team structures to defending AI adoption decisions to the board. Think less "here's what AI can do" and more "here's how I'm actually running my org through this."

Panel: Securing What's Next, In Practice
What does it actually take to secure a fast-moving company right now? In this panel, security engineers sit down with RunReveal CEO Evan Johnson to talk shop: the incidents that taught them the most, how their teams are rethinking detection as AI changes both the attack surface and the tooling, and what they wish they'd known earlier in their careers. This is a conversation for practitioners, by practitioners — grounded in the daily reality of the job, not slideware.
