98% of CISOs Expect AI-Driven Attacks to Surge: Inside Marvelous’ AI Insiders Cybersecurity Summit in San Francisco
At a pivotal moment for AI and cybersecurity, AI Insiders: Cybersecurity Edition gathered 130 of the most influential minds in the space at AWS Builders Loft for a highly curated salon designed to surface zero-day insights and catalyze new defense paradigms. The evening, hosted by Marvelous, the AI operating system for real-world event automation, focused on how autonomous agents and LLMs are reshaping the cyber threat landscape and what must come next.

“As AI becomes both a weapon and a shield, cybersecurity can’t afford to lag behind standing still is a three-year head start for the adversary, especially when 98% of CISOs expect an AI-driven attack surge within that time,” said Merve Isler, founder of Marvelous.
Structured as a vertical intelligence ecosystem rather than a traditional conference, the event attracted high-trust guests working at the bleeding edge of AI and security innovation.
The audience composition reflected the moment’s intensity: 50% CISOs and security leads from major enterprises, decision-makers on budget, tooling, and response strategy. 30% were AI founders and technical builders, building tools for red-teaming, LLM hardening, and agent alignment. 10% were investors from top-tier funds like a16z, Greylock, Menlo Ventures, CRV, and Ballistic Ventures. The final 10% included analysts and security media, invited to listen, though most discussions remained off the record to foster candor and collaboration.

Backed by partners including Lakera and AWS, Cyera, Tinfoil, Pangea, Zania AI, Straiker AI, and HC Consulting, AI Insiders continues to serve as a nexus for domain-specific AI collaboration.
AI Insiders was founded and curated by Merve Isler, a globally recognized ecosystem strategist and former Google community architect. With a decade of experience designing high-trust innovation communities across Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and the United States, she has built founder and technology networks in some of the world’s most complex and fast-evolving ecosystems. Through AI Insiders, Isler brings this global expertise into vertical-specific, high-signal gatherings that spark meaningful industry collaboration. AI Insiders the highly curated and most trusted AI community in San Francisco.
She founded Marvelous to democratize the tools and systems behind this kind of high-impact convening, transforming what was once exclusive into something scalable. The platform’s vision is shared in her Marvelous 10-year Memo at themarvelo.us/memo.
Where Intelligence Meets Defense
Before programming began, guests were welcomed with curated matchmaking by Marvelous, local craft drinks, and light bites designed to spark meaningful connections.
Hosts Merve Isler (Marvelous), Julie Tsai (Cybersecurity Executive), and Bhavya Gupta (Stanford) opened the night with a call to action; AI is already disrupting security doctrine and the room held those best equipped to respond.
Bhavya Gupta added, “AI is no longer just a tool in cybersecurity, it’s becoming an active player, making decisions, adapting in real time, and rewriting the pace of both attack and defense. The real question now isn’t just how we secure AI, but how we secure with it.”
Christopher Chew, Supervisory Special Agent at the FBI, delivered a sobering look at how LLMs are being exploited in real-world threat campaigns, while Michelle Dennedy, CPO-in-Residence at Abaxx / PrivacyCode (ex-Cisco, Sun, Juniper), outlined frameworks for privacy-at-scale in autonomous systems.
The VCs’ View on Cybersecurity in the AI Era panel, moderated by David Colombo, unpacked how capital flows into AI-native security and which types of infrastructure are still underserved.
Panelists:
- Malika Aubakirova (Partner, a16z)
- Chenxi Wang (Managing General Partner, Rain Capital)
- David Hahn (Partner, Ballistic Ventures)
- James Green (Partner, CRV)
- Shreya Shekhar (Partner, Greylock)
Building the Future of AI Security & Resilience panel moderated by Feyza Haskaraman (Principal, Menlo Ventures), this panel went deep into technical strategy and startup challenges. From model-level defense to real-time observability in agentic workflows, panelists revealed what’s working and what’s not.
Startup Showcase: Six Startups Defining AI-Native Cyber Defense
A rapid-fire showcase spotlighted the next wave of security innovation tools built from the ground up for LLMs, agents, and adversarial environments.
- Straiker AI– Ankur Shah unveiled real-time threat detection for AI-native applications.
- Lakera – David Haber demonstrated scalable defenses against model exploitation.
- Zania AI – Aidan Collins introduced agentic security tooling designed for continuous learning environments.
- Cyera – Adam DeGraff showcased enterprise-ready data protection for AI-integrated cloud systems.
- Pangea – Oliver Friedrichs showcased workforce AI tool usage and AI activity within applications.
- Tinfoil– Tanya Verma closed with a vision for lightweight, developer-first LLM security primitives.
As with every AI Insiders gathering curated by Merve Isler, the experience blended substance with style. This time, the evening unfolded to the sound of live jazz, following past salons that
featured AI-generated piano performances. Guests enjoyed bites and carefully selected wines, adding to the ambiance of thoughtful conversation and connection. The night closed with high-trust, no-agenda networking among operators, security architects, investors, and researchers. Many discussions extended well beyond closing, sparking collaborations that Marvelous and its founder Isler will continue nurturing through future AI Insiders salons across verticals like Healthcare & Biotech, Fintech, Robotics & Automation, and culminating in the H1 of 2026 flagship summit.

Industry Context: Growing International Demand for Collectible Trading Cards
The collectible trading card segment has sustained strong international demand over recent years, driven by sports memorabilia cards, gaming card sets, and limited-edition collector releases. According to Grand View Research’s 2023 Trading Cards Market report, the global trading card market was valued at approximately $13.7 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow through the remainder of the decade, supported by the expansion of online marketplaces and cross-border collector communities.Access to authenticated collectibles has historically been concentrated in markets such as the United States and Japan, with collectors across South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Sub-Saharan Africa facing structural limitations in sourcing directly from verified international suppliers. MyBlackTree India Private Limited addresses this demand through its India-based e-commerce operations, offering international shipping to collector communities across underserved markets.

BulkQuant Releases 2026 AI Crypto Trading Bot Comparison Guide to Help Traders Navigate a Growing Automation Market
Toronto, CanadaNew research compares leading crypto automation platforms by trading style, user experience, and risk considerations
Toronto, Canada
BulkQuant today announced the release of its 2026 AI Crypto Trading Bot Comparison Guide, an educational report designed to help cryptocurrency traders better understand the expanding landscape of automated trading solutions and identify platforms that align with their individual trading styles, experience levels, and investment objectives.

The publication arrives at a time when artificial intelligence continues to influence how market participants interact with digital assets. Across the cryptocurrency ecosystem, traders are increasingly exploring automation tools to monitor markets, execute predefined strategies, manage portfolios, and reduce the time required for day-to-day trading operations.
As the number of available platforms continues to grow, selecting an appropriate automation solution has become more complex. Traders now face a wide range of choices, including exchange-native trading bots, no-code strategy builders, signal-based automation platforms, multi-exchange management tools, paper trading environments, and AI-assisted market analysis systems.
According to BulkQuant’s research, many users begin their search by comparing features, pricing plans, or marketing claims. However, the report argues that these factors often fail to address a more important question: which type of automation platform best matches the trader’s preferred workflow and level of experience?
“The automation landscape has matured significantly over the past several years,” said a spokesperson for BulkQuant. “While that growth has created new opportunities for traders, it has also increased the complexity of platform selection. This report was developed to help traders evaluate automation tools based on practical use cases rather than assumptions or promotional claims.”
Rather than identifying a single winner, the report examines how different categories of automation tools may serve different user groups. A beginner who is still learning the fundamentals of crypto automation may require a different environment than an experienced trader managing strategies across multiple exchanges. Similarly, a user interested in paper trading may prioritize testing tools, while a trader focused on exchange-native execution may prefer built-in automation systems.
The report compares several widely recognized platforms and ecosystems, including BulkQuant, 3Commas, Pionex, Cryptohopper, Coinrule, Bitsgap, Binance Trading Bots, and OKX Trading Bots. Each platform is evaluated according to trading style compatibility, strategy flexibility, onboarding experience, risk considerations, and practical use cases.
Why AI Crypto Trading Bots Continue to Gain Adoption
Over the last several years, automation has become one of the most discussed themes within the cryptocurrency industry. Improvements in cloud infrastructure, exchange connectivity, market data availability, and artificial intelligence have enabled traders to access tools that were once limited to institutions and professional trading firms.
Today’s automation platforms can perform a variety of functions, including portfolio monitoring, strategy execution, trade alerts, backtesting, paper trading, signal integration, and rule-based decision support. For many users, these tools offer a way to organize trading activity more efficiently while reducing repetitive manual tasks.
At the same time, automation should not be confused with guaranteed performance. Cryptocurrency markets remain highly volatile, and no platform can eliminate market risk. Successful outcomes continue to depend on factors such as strategy design, market conditions, risk management practices, and user oversight.
The report emphasizes that AI should be viewed as a tool for improving efficiency rather than a substitute for disciplined decision-making. While automation can assist with execution and analysis, traders remain responsible for understanding how their strategies operate and how those strategies may perform under different market conditions.
Common Challenges Facing Traders
One of the most significant challenges facing traders in 2026 is the sheer number of available automation options. The market now includes platforms specializing in grid trading, DCA strategies, signal execution, portfolio management, copy trading, exchange-native automation, and AI-assisted workflows.
As a result, many users struggle to identify which category of platform best aligns with their goals.
The report highlights several common mistakes frequently made by new users:
- Choosing a platform solely because it is popular.
- Confusing AI assistance with guaranteed profitability.
- Deploying automated strategies without understanding the underlying logic.
- Using leverage before understanding liquidation risks.
- Ignoring testing environments such as paper trading or demo accounts.
- Managing multiple exchanges before establishing a consistent workflow.
- Focusing on features instead of suitability.
According to the report, traders often benefit from identifying their preferred trading style before selecting a platform. This approach can help narrow the field and improve the likelihood of finding a solution that matches their workflow and experience level.
How This Report Is Structured
Instead of ranking platforms exclusively by features, the report evaluates them according to practical trading scenarios.
For example, beginners who are still learning about automation may require a guided dashboard experience. Traders who already understand DCA, grid trading, or signal-based strategies may prefer configurable platforms that offer greater flexibility. Users focused on testing strategies may prioritize paper trading environments and backtesting tools, while traders operating across multiple exchanges may require centralized management dashboards.
The following sections compare leading automation platforms according to these use cases, providing traders with a practical framework for evaluating which solutions may fit their individual objectives and preferred approach to the market.
Why Trading Style Matters More Than Feature Count
One of the most common misconceptions surrounding crypto automation is the belief that the platform with the largest number of features is automatically the best choice.
In practice, platform suitability often depends less on feature volume and more on how well a solution aligns with a trader’s objectives, experience level, and preferred workflow.
A beginner who is still learning how automation works may benefit from a guided environment that simplifies decision-making and reduces complexity. An experienced trader, on the other hand, may require advanced customization, signal integrations, multi-exchange management, or sophisticated risk controls.
Similarly, traders who prioritize testing may place greater value on paper trading and backtesting tools, while users operating primarily within a single exchange ecosystem may prefer native automation solutions that require fewer integrations.
For this reason, the report evaluates platforms according to trading style rather than attempting to identify a single universal winner. The objective is to help readers understand which categories of tools may be appropriate for different use cases and levels of experience.
The following comparison examines several widely used automation platforms and ecosystems, highlighting where each solution may fit within a trader’s journey while also outlining important risks and limitations that users should consider before deploying automated strategies.
About BulkQuant
BulkQuant is a technology-focused trading platform that provides AI-assisted market analysis, automation tools, and educational resources for traders seeking structured approaches to financial markets. The platform supports users interested in exploring automated trading workflows across cryptocurrency and other asset classes while emphasizing education, risk awareness, and practical strategy development.
