SC Media, Thursday, August 6th, 2026
F5 Field CISO Sean Murphy on why known vulnerabilities may outrank zero-days as frontier AI compresses exploit timelines.
Frontier AI is compressing the time between discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities, forcing enterprises to rethink how they secure modern applications and AI systems.
In this Black Hat 2026 segment, F5 Field CISO for North America Sean Murphy discusses how security teams can prepare for the next generation of AI-powered threats and why known vulnerabilities may become a bigger risk than zero-days.
The conversation covers securing AI at scale from shadow AI and governance through agent and API protection, and argues that attackers are logging in rather than breaking in.
Murphy also explains why blocking AI outright creates more risk than enabling the business safely.
