Titanium, the cybersecurity division of RapidCompute, together with offensive-security firm RedSecLabs, today hosted Citadel ’26 at the Marriott Hotel in Karachi, bringing together security leaders from across Pakistan’s banking, government, healthcare, and enterprise sectors under the theme “Securing the AI-Powered Enterprise: The New CISO Playbook for 2026.”
The event featured a speaker lineup addressing the impact of artificial intelligence on offensive security and enterprise risk, alongside the public debut of three new security products.
Speaker Sessions
Rafay Baloch, CEO of RedSecLabs, addressed the evolving role of automation and AI in offensive security, and the shift toward continuous exposure testing as standard practice for enterprises.
Ubaid Jafri, Head of Cyber Defense & Offensive Security at Habib Bank Limited, presented on the use of offensive security techniques and AI to anticipate security incidents before they occur.
Mehzad Sahar, Group CISO at Engro, spoke on the operational challenges of leading enterprise security functions amid a rapidly shifting, AI-influenced threat landscape.
Product Announcements
Three security products were introduced to attendees for the first time:
CodeRadar, presented by Ammad Ali, Deputy CTO at RapidCompute, is a continuous, automated code vulnerability-scanning product. Each scan is executed on a single-use virtual machine provisioned within the customer’s own cloud environment, with the machine and associated data destroyed upon completion — an architecture designed to leave no residual data accessible in the event the scanning infrastructure itself were compromised.
SNTRII, presented by Imtiaz Khan, CTO at RapidCompute, is a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) offering aimed at organizations currently underserved by enterprise-grade security monitoring tools. Additional capabilities for the product are in active development ahead of general availability.
Guardian Gaze, presented by Hashim Mufti on behalf of RedSecLabs, is a platform providing continuous external cyber-risk ratings, assessing an organization’s brand, domain, application, network, cloud, and compliance exposure from an outside-in perspective.
Farhan, SVP Sales at Rapid and Titanium, closed the event with an overview of Titanium’s existing security services portfolio, which has expanded incrementally since the practice’s founding in 2017.
