The Mythos Era: AI, Autonomous Remediation & the End of Human-Speed Security 

May 28 | 9 AM - 12 PM

Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park

Overview

We’ve entered a new phase of cybersecurity, one where AI doesn’t just assist attackers, it outpaces defenders. 

With the emergence of Mythos-like AI capabilities, vulnerability discovery is no longer linear. It’s exponential. Exploitation windows have collapsed from weeks to hours, or even minutes. And for the first time, security teams are facing a reality where: 

  • Vulnerabilities are discovered faster than they can be understood 
  • Exploits are weaponized before patches even exist 
  • Backlogs are growing faster than remediation capacity 

This is the Mythos Inflection Point. 

ROCon CXO – Australia brings together senior cybersecurity leaders for an exclusive, closed-door conversation on how to operate in this new environment, where human-speed security is no longer viable. 

The focus shifts from: 

  • Detection → Validation  
  • Prioritization → Context-aware decisioning  
  • Remediation → Autonomous, AI-driven execution  

Because in a world where attackers move at machine speed… your defense has to as well. 

What You’ll Learn 

  • What the Mythos-driven vulnerability surge means for your security strategy
  • How AI is compressing the disclosure-to-exploitation window to near zero  
  • Why traditional vulnerability management is failing in an AI-accelerated threat landscape 
  • How to identify the <1% of exposures that actually matter using real-world context  
  • Moving from dashboards to decisions: operating risk at machine speed  
  • Why autonomous remediation is no longer optional, and how to trust it safely  
  • How to go beyond patching with adaptive mitigation, isolation, and control strategies  
  • Building a Risk Operations Center (ROC) to close risk—not just track it
