SAN FRANCISCO \u2014<\/strong> Every RSA Conference has its buzzwords. Cloud. Ransomware. Zero trust. Plastered across the 87-acre Moscone Center complex on every booth, banner and bar. This year was AI, with vendors pitching AI-powered solutions to every security problem imaginable. But 2026 stood out for a different reason: Industry leaders spent the conference warning about disruption from the very technology everyone was selling.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive discussion with CyberScoop at this year\u2019s conference, Kevin Mandia, founder of AI security company Armadin, Morgan Adamski, former executive director of U.S. Cyber Command, and Alex Stamos, a researcher and former chief security officer at several major technology companies, said the industry is entering what they described as an unprecedented two- to three-year period of upheaval, driven by AI systems that are discovering vulnerabilities exponentially faster than defenders can respond and threatening to render decades of security practices obsolete.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are just at the inflection point that is going to be pretty insane, at least two to three years,\u201d Stamos said, describing a near-term future in which AI systems flood the threat landscape with working exploits while organizations struggle to patch vulnerabilities faster than attackers can weaponize them.<\/p>\n

Mandia put the timeline more bluntly. \u201cIt\u2019s a perfect storm for offense over the next year or two,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The core problem, according to the executives, is speed. AI has made vulnerability discovery almost trivial, while remediation takes time and effort, creating a widening gap that favors attackers across every stage of the kill chain.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of the asymmetry in the cyber domain, where one person on offense can create work for millions of defenders, speed leverages that asymmetry,\u201d Mandia said. \u201cIn the near term, there\u2019s an advantage to the attackers as they start to use models and agents to do a lot of the offense.\u201d<\/p>\n
