Unit 42 recently got hands-on with frontier AI models, and our initial findings indicate a major shift in the speed, scale and capability of AI models to identify software vulnerabilities. We are now seeing the first frontier models to demonstrate the autonomous reasoning required to function not merely as a coding assistant, but as a full-spectrum security researcher. This brings worrisome advancements in: - Autonomous zero-day discovery - Collapsing the patching window for N-days - Advanced chaining of complex exploitation paths - Real-time adaptation to bypass controls of hardened environments The impact of frontier AI models on the threat landscape goes way beyond vulnerability discovery and exploitation. As these models become widely available in the near future, we are likely to see dramatic increases in the speed and scale of AI-enabled attacks across the entire attack lifecycle. How should you prepare to defend against this type of threat? Join us live for a virtual fireside chat with Philippa Cogswell (Managing Partner, JAPAC, Unit 42), Helen Teixeira (Managing Director, JAPAC, Unit 42) and Richard Metcalfe (Sr Dir, NGS Sales, Palo Alto Networks) who will share exclusive, real-time insights on how Frontier AI models are changing cyber risk. They will also introduce the newly launched Unit 42® Frontier AI Defense—a proactive security approach to uncover hidden exposure, identify where long-standing weaknesses could be turned into fast-moving attack paths, and build a practical roadmap designed to reduce AI-driven risk over time. It’s time to reclaim the AI advantage. Secure your spot now and transform Frontier AI from your greatest threat into your definitive defensive edge.
