# Unit 42 Threat Briefing: Frontier AI Defense in Practice

* [WATCH NOW](#form-submit-button)  
  Join Palo Alto Networks leaders for an executive briefing on how frontier AI is accelerating cyber risk, what Unit 42^®^ is seeing from real-world incidents and customer assessments, and how CISOs should respond.

Palo Alto Networks leaders Lee Klarich, CPTO, Marc Benoit, SVP and CISO, and Sam Rubin, SVP of Unit 42, will share lessons from putting Frontier AI Defense into practice inside our own environment and with customers. They'll examine how AI is compressing attack timelines, what we've learned from using frontier models to uncover and validate exposure, and how those findings are changing the way we think about defense.

This briefing will outline Palo Alto Networks defensive operating model for the frontier AI era, including:

* How frontier AI is compressing attack timelines and the five changes CISOs need to make.

* What Palo Alto Networks learned using frontier AI to continuously find and validate exposure in our own environment.

* How Unit 42 is applying those lessons to find attack paths, prove exploitability and accelerate protection for customers.
