Preview: Cisco Talos at Black Hat USA 2026

Summary: Cisco Talos will staff the Cisco and Splunk booth (2633) at Black Hat USA 2026, giving lightning talks on Wednesday and Thursday and two workshops on Wednesday, August 5. In the 10:15 a.m. Splunk workshop, Talos' Nick Biasini and Cisco's Omar Santos will cover the Foundry Security Spec, Project CodeGuard, and using AI in SOC workflows, while a separate session addresses autonomous agents as insider threats.
Why it matters: The Splunk workshop's premise is that an autonomous agent with valid credentials and delegated authority can move sensitive data across tools and manipulate internal systems without triggering traditional SIEM or UEBA alerts - the controls most SOCs rely on.
