Cloud Security in the Age of AI Builders

AI is expanding the builder population beyond developers. Employees across functions can now create applications, automate workflows, and interact with cloud environments—dramatically increasing the speed of innovation and the potential attack surface
Traditional security models cannot keep pace with AI-driven development. Organizations need continuous, context-aware visibility across cloud infrastructure, applications, identities, and data to identify and prioritize the risks that matter most
The future belongs to organizations that secure innovation, not slow it down. By embedding security into the way modern teams build and deploy, businesses can empower employees to leverage AI confidently while maintaining governance, compliance, and resilience

You Can’t Protect What You Can’t See: Fixing the Visibility Problem in Cybersecurity

Unified visibility is non-negotiable: Organizations must consolidate logs, identities, and data activity into a single source of truth to detect threats early and respond decisively
Identity is the new control plane: Managing identities, privileges, and access life-cycles is now the frontline of defence — not just a compliance checkbox
Resilience requires operational discipline, not just tools: True cyber resilience comes from integrating SIEM, identity governance, and data security into daily operations — not siloed deployments

12:10 PM - 12:30 PM

LLMs Killed AppSec. The Attackers Said Thanks.

The “AI replaced AppSec” pitch is the best social-engineering attack of 2026 — aimed at your board, not your firewall. Mythos Agent’s own homepage admits it “complements — not replaces AppSec tools.” The market is louder than the product.
AI gave your developers a 10× multiplier. It gave the attackers the same one, without your procurement cycle, audit committee, or regulator. ~48% of AI-generated code ships vulnerable (Snyk 2026); the Philippines absorbed 1.3M breached accounts and 234 government-agency incidents in 2025. The productivity dividend is being paid out in breach disclosures.
“Better together” is a governance architecture, not a slogan. Pair deterministic AppSec controls — policy, SBOM, provenance, accountability — with autonomous AI agents for triage and fix. Probabilistic systems carrying deterministic regulatory liability is the worst trade a Philippine board can make in 2026.
