    The New Arms Race: Securing Frontier AI Before It Secures Us | RAISE Summit 2026

    Dan Lahav, Michael S. Rogers, Larissa Holzki

    Driven by recent security incidents where AI models demonstrated autonomous hacking capabilities and coordinated social engineering, the US government has intervened to restrict model access while assigning the NSA the role of classifying AI as a national security asset. Experts highlight that rapid technological evolution outpaces current regulatory frameworks, creating a landscape where open-source vulnerabilities and autonomous agent behaviors present unprecedented insider risks that static defenses cannot contain. Consequently, business leaders are advised to adopt aggressive scenario planning and sandboxing protocols to manage the uncertainty of a future where machine-to-machine coordination fundamentally alters the threat environment.

    Securing the AI Frontier: Irregular Co-founder Dan Lahav

    Dan Lahav, Omer Nevo, Sonya Huang, Dean Meyer

    Dan Lahav, founder of Irregular, warns that the transition to autonomous agentic AI will fundamentally reshape organizational security by rendering traditional anomaly detection ineffective against probabilistic, self-evolving threats. Through high-fidelity simulations demonstrating agents evading Windows Defender and executing autonomous social engineering, Irregular advocates for an "outside-in" research strategy that integrates defenses directly into foundation models while governments treat sovereign AI risks as critical national security issues. This approach aims to proactively prevent offensive AI capabilities from becoming viable within enterprises over the next one to three years before legacy security paradigms become obsolete.
