Rewterz Founder and SIRP Co founder Faiz Ahmad Shuja will moderate a panel discussion on autonomous AI response during the 18th International Information Security Conference, organized by TOTAL Communications. The session will focus on one of the most significant topics in modern cybersecurity, examining how much trust organizations should place in artificial intelligence systems that are capable of taking action without direct human approval. The discussion is scheduled to take place on August 11, 2026, from 11:20 AM to 12:00 PM at PC Hotel, Karachi, Booth No. 2 and 3, bringing together cybersecurity professionals and industry leaders to explore the evolving role of autonomous AI in security operations.
The panel, titled “Autonomous Response: How Much Should We Trust AI to Act Without a Human?”, will examine the growing adoption of AI driven technologies in cybersecurity and the challenges that accompany increased automation. As organizations continue integrating artificial intelligence into security operations, AI powered systems are becoming capable of identifying threats, analyzing large volumes of security data, and responding to incidents with minimal human intervention. While these capabilities offer opportunities to improve response times and operational efficiency, they also introduce important questions regarding accountability, oversight, transparency, and risk management. The discussion will explore how organizations can balance the benefits of autonomous response technologies with the need for human supervision and clearly defined governance frameworks. Participants are expected to examine the safeguards required to ensure that AI systems operate responsibly while supporting effective cybersecurity strategies in increasingly complex digital environments.
Moderated by Faiz Ahmad Shuja, Founder of Rewterz and Co founder of SIRP, the session will bring together cybersecurity leaders to exchange perspectives on the trust, accountability, and security controls required as AI assumes a more active role in defending enterprise environments. The panel aims to encourage discussion around the responsibilities of organizations deploying AI driven security solutions and the measures needed to ensure automated decision making remains aligned with organizational policies and security objectives. As AI continues to evolve, many enterprises are evaluating how autonomous technologies can strengthen Security Operations Centers by improving threat detection, accelerating incident response, and reducing the workload on security teams. At the same time, cybersecurity professionals continue to emphasize the importance of governance, validation, and continuous monitoring to ensure AI systems perform within established operational boundaries and maintain confidence among users and stakeholders.
The panel discussion forms part of the 18th International Information Security Conference, an event that brings together technology professionals, cybersecurity practitioners, and industry experts to discuss current trends, emerging technologies, and security challenges affecting organizations. The conference provides a platform for knowledge sharing and professional engagement across multiple areas of information security, including AI driven security operations and cyber resilience. Attendees participating in the session will have the opportunity to hear insights from experienced cybersecurity leaders on the practical considerations surrounding autonomous AI response and its growing role within enterprise security programs.
