Security Verification in the Agentic Era: The Advent of the Security Referee

August 26, 2026 by Limor Herb

Date/Time
Date(s) - 08/26/2026
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM


Speaker 

Chris Giles is the Director of Products for Creation, Static and Formal Verification at Siemens EDA.

Abstract

To date, security verification consisted of a human checking for known exploitable weaknesses present in a design created by humans.  In the Agentic Era, AI increases threat creation, exposure, and closure.  Security verification quickly shifts from a human vs. human exercise to an AI vs. AI exercise.  However, human judgment is required to ensure a truly secure system is implemented that meets all requirements.  In the security verification game, AI plays against AI. The human must assume the role of referee, understanding all the subtleties of the rules of the game, and passing final judgment to ensure success.  This webinar will suggest a verification methodology that empowers the human security referee.
