FC, aka Freakyclown, is a world-renowned ethical hacker, social engineer, and bestselling author of How I Rob Banks. With over 30 years experience, he has helped banks, governments, and global organizations uncover vulnerabilities by thinking like an adversary.

A former Head of Offensive Cyber Research at Raytheon and now co-founder of cybersecurity firm Cygenta, FC brings deep insight into how nation-states and sophisticated attackers operate, and how to defend against them.

Freakyclown will present an expert and technology-agnostic view of the market in this age of AI to paint a clear picture of how C-suite executives and SOC leaders can take immediate action.

This panel of cybersecurity experts will explore how executives and SOC leaders can trust the AI they deploy into production, specifically, through rigorous testing using real-world attacks and tight alignment between human operators and agentic systems.

Panelists will address the risks inherent in depending exclusively on humans in the loop to oversee and manage untested AI agents, the challenges of measuring performance under pressure, and practical steps to ensure resilience prior to deployment to production.

Attendees will gain insight into balancing speed with trust and strengthening decision-making in an increasingly autonomous, high-velocity, threat landscape.
