Join a small group of Houston security leaders for a round table discussion on AI security — what is actually changing, what is noise, and what it means for the data underneath it all.
Two hosts, two vantage points: Marc Crudgington is building an end-to-end AI security platform at Armida, and Najaf Husain runs Elastio, where the question is whether your data is still clean once an attacker has been inside it.
Seats are limited so the conversation stays a conversation. Come prepared to share what you are seeing — the value of the evening is what the people at the table bring to it.
On the table
Securing AI end to end — where MCP servers, AI agents, and the tooling around them widen the attack surface faster than governance can keep up.
Data loss and data integrity when agents have write access — what an AI-driven compromise looks like inside your data, not just at the perimeter.
Proving recovery after an AI-accelerated attack — how you show a board, an auditor, or a regulator that what you restored was clean.
How the evening runs
A seated round table with 2-3 topics, not a panel and not a presentation. Everyone at the table is expected to talk.
Chatham House Rule applies: you may use what you hear, but nothing said is attributed to any person or company.
Dinner and drinks, a small group, and hosts who steer the conversation rather than deliver it.
Who should join us
CISOs, security architects, and IT leaders in the Houston area evaluating how AI changes their threat model.
Leaders responsible for data protection, backup, and recovery who are being asked what happens when AI is the attack path.
Anyone standing up AI agents in production and wondering what the security and recovery story looks like a year from now.
What Elastio adds to your environment
Hunts for ransomware, malware, and data corruption across your live data, replicated data, and backup data at the file level.
No agents on your instances. No separate infrastructure to operate.
When a threat is found, you get the specific files affected, the timeline of infection, the last provable recovery point, and a verified restore confirmation.
Bring the AI security question you have not been able to get a straight answer on. That is the table this was built for.
