CyberAgent 2026
Beyond Security — Shaping the Future of Autonomous Cyber Defense.
A DICTA 2026 Special Session & Half-Day Workshop on intelligent cyber agents that perceive, reason, decide, and act at machine speed. A half-day workshop on intelligent cyber agents that perceive, reason, decide, and act—often before human analysts can intervene.
Autonomous defense, at machine speed
Agentic AI marks a shift from reactive automation to proactive, autonomous defense. Unlike traditional pipelines bound to human oversight and rigid playbooks, agentic systems perceive, reason, plan, and act independently in dynamic cyber environments.
This session covers the architectures, capabilities, and operational boundaries of intelligent cyber agents — across threat detection, incident response, vulnerability management, and cyber resilience — and the governance needed to deploy them safely.
What we cover
Agent Design
Planner–executor–critic loops.
Detection & Triage
LLM-driven threat reasoning.
