Frontier AI is changing what defenders can investigate, automate, and analyze. For federal agencies, the opportunity comes with a corresponding responsibility to define where these capabilities belong, how they should be governed, and how their outputs should be validated. 

In this webinar, SpecterOps leaders Robby Winchester and Russel Van Tuyl will examine the practical realities of applying frontier AI to federal cyber defense. Drawing on executive, services, research, and offensive security perspectives, they will discuss where AI can help defenders move faster, where it can introduce new exposure or false confidence, and why human expertise remains essential to mission assurance.

Russel should provide the technical and practitioner perspective, including how AI changes threat research and offensive security workflows, where the fundamentals of security operations remain the same, and where AI introduces distinct tactical or governance considerations. His recent webinar and speaker work places him in the services, research, and tradecraft context relevant to this discussion.
