The rules of the game completely change the moment you hit the executive floor and nobody hands you a manual. We’ve gathered the world’s most respected security leaders to change that. NextGen CISO is a half-day Forum (of panels\, presentations\, and breakout sessions) designed exclusively for the next generation of security executives (nominated by sitting CISOs who believe you’re ready for the role). This isn’t a conference. There are no vendor pitches\, no panels for the sake of panels. Just the hard-won lessons\, unwritten rules\, and honest conversations that most people only get years into the job – if ever. What to expect: ***We are building the agenda now*** The Road to the Chair – Caleb Sima (Founding General Partner – WhiteRabbit) + Chaim Mazal (CISO – GitLab) First 90 Days – Nicole Grinstead (CISO – Roblox) + Jake Schroeder (CISO – LVT) On the Hook – David Hirsch (Former Head of SEC Cyber / Crypto Enforcement) The State of the Search – Michael Piacente (Managing Partner – Hitch Partners) + Tom Alcock (Founder and Managing Partner – Code Red Partners) The Job at the Frontier – Bil Harmer (CISO – Supabase) + Aaron Brown (Head of Security – Mercor) Open Q&A with the room Who’s in the room: Attendance is by nomination only. Current CISOs nominate their top successors\, the practitioners they believe are ready to make the jump. If you’re here\, someone vouched for you. Following this event: Attendees are invited to continue the conversation at The Construct – an exclusive evening reception immediately following the Forum.

DESCRIPTION:Having a hard time figuring out what’s real and what’s fake these days? You’re not alone. While we have no silver bullets\, we do have faith in the power of really smart\, interested people with exactly the right mix of structure and chaos coming together to figure it out — or make a really loud bang trying. That’s right\, we are taking over The Punk Rock Museum in Vegas again this year kicking off Black Hat week with a room full of outsiders and outliers – the ones who ask why not instead of why! We didn’t plan on doing it again. And then we couldn’t not. Come party with the most genuine band of security-obsessed ride-or-die anarchist builders. The Polaris Collective is back at the Punk Rock Museum. August 3\, 2026. Monday night\, doors open at 5p. This year’s theme: What’s (Real|Fake) with A?! Panel 1 – “What’s (Real|Fake) with AI: Connecting Intention and Proof” Intentions are Cheap… Proof Isn’t. Where do intention\, proof\, and control intersect and support each other – and where do they fall apart? What bits can be trusted when media\, technology delivery\, and trusted authority are all besieged by doubt? With sharp takes from GetReal Security Head of Threat Intel Tom Cross\, Cyber + AI expert/builder Daniel Miessler\, and ResembleAI’s Zohaib Ahmed\, all who understand both where the edge of defense innovation is happening and where evolving AI threats are going in duping human and machine detection. Fireside Chat with Kenneth Huang (CSA\, OWASP AIVSS Lead\, Advanced AI Society) and Mo Sadek of the OWASP GenAI Project on Proof-of-Control – and intention – technologies for AI Governance. A conversation about trust\, verification\, and the gap between what AI systems claim and what they deliver. Panel 2 – “AI Gatekeepers & Anarchists – Risk Control in Chaos” Finding the balance between chaos and control. What is the role of a marketplace – and who decides what gets in? A debate about power\, access\, and accountability in AI ecosystems. And how AI Risk Governance can level the playing field – or close the gate. With Chad Weinman of the FAIR Institute and Chris Fuller\, CPO (Spacewalk) Closing – Musicians of InfoSec Live discussion + performance from the musicians of the security community. Because the best conversations end with live music. … and of course our Partner #1 in Punk Rock\, our host….
