## Resource

In this special edition from Black Hat, Dave Bittner sits down with ⁠Clint Gibler⁠, Cyber Lead at ⁠OpenAI⁠, and ⁠Robby Winchester⁠, Chief Global Professional Services Officer at ⁠SpecterOps⁠, to explore how frontier AI models are changing the way defenders approach cybersecurity. The conversation moves beyond the hype to examine responsible AI deployment, AI red teaming, reducing noise in security workflows, and the balance between advanced models and human expertise. They also discuss OpenAI’s Trusted Access for Cyber program and what it takes to give security practitioners access to powerful AI capabilities while managing the risks of misuse.
