BSides312

BSides312 is a nonprofit one-day conference run by longtime members of Chicago's hacking and Cybersecurity community. In fact, many of them founded the original BSides Chicago! It's built as a collaborative venue; whether you hack hardware, excel at logistics, or just bring curious friends, you help shape the conversation.

Like every BSides event, the conference follows a community-driven model built by and for hackers. Its purpose is to widen the conversation beyond the usual boundaries, offering space for people to both present and take part in an intimate, collaborative setting. The result is an intense mix of discussions, demos, and interaction where new ideas take shape.

Most security architectures were built for human speed and browser-based interactions. They were never designed to track how an AI agent authenticates into Salesforce, pulls customer records, triggers an MCP call, and writes output to a third-party tool. That's the engine room. That's where attackers operate when they exploit authorized identities, trusted OAuth tokens, and dormant integrations.

An inventory of agents is not a security strategy.

Powered by DataMatrix™, Vorlon's patented intelligent simulation technology, the platform builds a living model of your agentic ecosystem, mapping high-speed agent-to-SaaS and SaaS-to-SaaS relationships across AI agents, integrations, and non-human identities. It supervises the work of your agents, not just their permissions, and delivers near real-time detection of identity abuse, data exposure, and malicious third-party access.

What we'll show you

• Shadow AI Discovery — 100% discovery of AI agents and unsanctioned tools accessing your environment, including those that bypass your corporate gateway.
• Sensitive Data Flow Mapping — See exactly which agents and integrations touch PII, PCI, PHI, and other sensitive data categories, and trace where that data goes across your agentic supply chain.
• Context-Based Behavioral Detection — Surface identity abuse, privilege escalation, mass data exports, and anomalous agent behavior with data-layer context on every alert. 93% faster incident response.
• Blast Radius Analysis — When a vendor is breached, know within minutes which data categories are at risk, which identities are affected, and what to contain first.
• Two-Click Remediation — Revoke tokens, disable integrations, or quarantine identities directly or via your SIEM, SOAR, or ITSM. Zero-latency architecture, no proxies, no runtime agents. Install-to-insights in 24 hours.

Analyst recognition

Gartner recognized Vorlon's DataMatrix™ in its "2025 Emerging Tech: Intelligent Simulation Accelerates Proactive Exposure Management" report — noting that intelligent simulation "shifts focus from reactive detection and response to preemptive cybersecurity."

"The autonomous nature of agents introduces novel and rapidly escalating security and operational risks that legacy controls cannot manage." — Gartner

"89% of CISOs agree that autonomous (agentic) attacks represent a major new risk that their current human-centric tools cannot stop." — The Mind of the CISO
