<body>Camellia Chan, CEO and Co-Founder of X-PHY, discusses how Model Context Protocol (MCP) is making it easier for AI agents to plug into enterprise apps and operate with elevated permissions—creating new opportunities for attacks and data exfiltration. She explains how X-PHY’s hardware-enforced monitoring and detection sit beyond the OS trust boundary to enforce immutable limits on what agents can do and stop threats before data is lost, so organizations can adopt agentic AI with confidence.</body>

X-PHY Delivers Hardware-Enforced Security for the Age of AI Agents – Camellia Chan – RSAC26 #1

<body>Medical devices are a special segment of the IoT world where availability and patient safety are paramount. Tamil Mathi explains why many devices need to fail open -- the opposite of what traditional appsec approaches might initially think -- and what makes threat modeling these devices interesting and unique. He also covers how to get started in this space, from where to learn hardware hacking basics to reviewing firmware and moving up the stack to the application layer.</body>
