Cristian D Bencomo | Vice President
Flexxon
Cristian Dominguez Bencomo is Vice President at Flexxon, leading the company's US OEM business and driving go-to-market for X-PHY, Flexxon's cybersecurity innovation arm and the industry's first AI-embedded Cyber Secure SSD - bringing AI threat detection to the firmware and NAND layer and extending it into AI infrastructure and MCP security. With an Electrical & Electronics Engineering background and prior OEM leadership roles at AEM Inc and Yageo Corp, Cristian bridges deep hardware knowledge with strategic execution across aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial markets. His network extends deep into Flexxon's OEM channel partner ecosystem, spanning military-communications, life sciences, cleantech, and avionics — sectors where long product lifecycles and rigorous qualification make trust and security foundational. Across every engagement, Cristian's focus has remained the same: building strategic relationships with OEMs and technology partners, and translating hardware-level engineering into real-world security and compliance outcomes.

Future of Memory and Storage - Day 2 @ 09:20
Securing Agentic AI with Hardware-Enforced Guardrails via X-PHY and MCP
As AI agents become increasingly autonomous and context-aware, they must manage dynamic memory, sensitive data, and tool execution — all while remaining secure and reliable. These “agentic” systems introduce new security risks, including memory poisoning, impersonation, context manipulation, and tool misuse. Traditional software-based defenses are insufficient, particularly when agents operate across distributed systems or interface with volatile memory and external APIs in real time.
This session introduces a novel, hardware-anchored security framework where X-PHY’s AI-embedded SSD acts as the foundational guardrail for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the structure that governs memory, context sharing, and decision-making in AI agents. We demonstrate how X-PHY’s firmware-based anomaly detection, immutable hardware identity, and real-time response mechanisms can enforce secure context transitions, validate agent provenance, and detect ransomware or data exfiltration attempts before they impact system integrity. Technical content will include MCP architecture patterns, SDK/API integrations with X-PHY, and a red-team-hardened agent design blueprint.
