The Hidden Risk in AI Infrastructure: Reachability: Rethinking Zero Trust AI Workloads – NetFoundry Triple-T

Spring 2026

In this session, we’ll explore how the acceleration of AI-driven discovery is shifting the balance between offense and defense—and why security models built on exposure, detection, and response are increasingly misaligned with this new reality. We’ll also focus in on why machine & AI workloads are especially prone to this new reality.
We’ll examine:
* Why traditional network-centric controls struggle to keep up
* How attackers leverage network reachability to their advantage
* And what a new approach—focused on minimizing exposure and redefining machine and AI connectivity based on identity—looks like in practice
