About the Evening
Harness is bringing together a small group of senior engineering leaders for a private event built around a shift that's already underway: the release of Anthropic Mythos and Project Glasswing has fundamentally changed the speed and economics of vulnerability exploitation. What once took weeks of manual reconnaissance can now be scaled rapidly through automated models.
This isn't just a security problem. It's an engineering opportunity. The organizations that move first, breaking down silos between security and engineering, accelerating patch cycles, and designing for breach from the start, will turn proactive resilience into a competitive advantage. The ones that don't will be playing catch-up at machine speed.
Host
Jignesh Patel, Field CTO at Harness, and Kate Blanchard from UnitedHealth Group, will lead the discussion. They will share observations and emerging patterns from engineering organizations building resilience for the Mythos era, from shared accountability models and architectural hygiene to AI-accelerated defense and incident response.
Topics we'll dig into:
Breaking down silos between security and engineering: what shared accountability looks like in steady state, and how to build surge defense capability when things go wrong
Identifying and removing single points of failure in software delivery to improve MTTR
Shifting left and simplifying your architecture: integrating security testing into your pipeline before code ships, reducing dependencies, and shrinking your attack surface
Designing for breach: zero-trust architecture, service isolation, and short-lived tokens as defaults
Using AI to accelerate security operations, from alert triage and scan prioritization to runtime visibility and closing the gap between incident and resolution
Schedule & Location

The evening will include:
Passed appetizers and drinks at Pig Ate My Pizza to start the evening
A seated dinner at Travail Kitchen and Amusements in the Sky Lounge & Patio
A short, focused conversation exploring how engineering organizations are building resilience in the Mythos era, from architectural fundamentals to AI-powered defense
Open discussion and peer conversation throughout the evening
Networking over food and drinks to continue the conversation with peers
Capacity is limited and the guest list is intentionally small. Passed appetizers and drinks will be provided during the arrival reception, followed by a seated dinner at Travail Kitchen and Amusements. If you have any dietary restrictions, let us know and we'll make sure you're taken care of.
