About Event

Broadcom was one of the initial partners selected to use frontier AI technology alongside Anthropic, through Project Glasswing. That gave them a rare, early view of a shift already under way: frontier models are lowering the barrier for malicious actors to automate vulnerability discovery at scale. Cyber security teams already understand this. The Australian Signals Directorate has said plainly that AI has shifted the threat landscape. What's less settled is what it means for the people who actually run the infrastructure underneath it.

That's the gap this session is built to close.

Peter Dowley, Broadcom's Field CISO for Australia and New Zealand, will walk through how these AI based threats apply specifically to technology infrastructure teams, including:

• How frontier AI has changed the way VMware software itself is developed

• What these changes mean for open source software

• ASD's key recommendations

• How this affects infrastructure teams managing VMware environments

• The implications for workloads hosted inside those environments

• The reference architecture Broadcom recommends for addressing AI risk to VCF and VCF hosted workloads

 

This session is built primarily for infrastructure teams. It's here to tell you, ahead of time, what your security teams will be pushing for over the next 18 months.

Security teams are just as welcome. With everything AI has demanded of security work this year, there's a good chance nobody's had time yet to think through what securing the VMware environment actually involves.
