Moving from AI hype to predictable production value requires an infrastructure designed for performance, accountability, From AI hype to predictable production value requires an infrastructure designed for performance, accountability, manageability, and security. This technical session distills 30 years of applied AI experience into a structural roadmap. Learn how to orchestrate next-generation agentic AI and predictive workflows without compromising enterprise safety, data sovereignty, or network performance.

Certificate lifetimes are shrinking. Browser requirements are evolving. Machine identities are growing exponentially. At the same time, organizations are beginning to plan for post-quantum cryptography while supporting new AI-driven systems that depend on trusted digital interactions.

These changes are transforming PKI from a traditional security function into the operational trust layer for modern business.

This session provides a practical roadmap for modernizing PKI, improving visibility into machine identities, automating certificate lifecycle management, and building crypto-agility for future cryptographic transitions. Attendees will leave with actionable steps to reduce operational risk today while preparing for post-quantum security and the next generation of digital trust.

  Presented by Juan Portillo, Enterprise Sales Representative • ESET

Join us for an in‑depth walkthrough of the most significant insights from ESET’s latest Threat Report. This session will examine the rise of AI‑assisted attacks, including the discovery of PromptLock, an AI‑powered ransomware prototype. We’ll also explore key shifts in malware‑as‑a‑service, NFC‑driven fraud, and PowerShell‑based delivery techniques, and gain a clear understanding of how ransomware operations are evolving and reshaping today’s threat landscape.

Not all Copilot experiences are created equal—so are you getting a free ride, or flying first class?

In this session, Chris Watson cuts through the hype to show what Microsoft Copilot actually delivers at the basic level—and what changes when you move to premium. Through real-world scenarios and practical demonstrations, you’ll see where Copilot saves time, where it falls short, and where premium features unlock real business value across Teams, Outlook, Excel, and security workflows.

Whether you're evaluating Copilot or already rolling it out, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of what you’re paying for—and how to make it worth it.

Traditional networks were designed for human troubleshooting. As environments scale and expectations rise, reactive operations and manual workflows no longer meet the needs of modern enterprises.

AI-Native Networking represents a fundamental architectural shift — where AI is not layered on top of infrastructure, but built into its foundation. By combining real-time telemetry, cloud-native microservices, and continuously trained models, AI-Native platforms move IT from reactive firefighting to autonomous operations.

The result: measurable improvements in user experience, reduced operational overhead, faster root-cause resolution, and infrastructure that continuously optimizes itself.

This session explores what it truly means to be AI-native, how it differs from legacy “AI-enhanced” approaches, and the business outcomes organizations are achieving by embracing this new model.

  Presented by Structured

This session examines how organizations can align cybersecurity, privacy, and compliance programs with the realities of 2026. The presentation reviews current threat trends, executive accountability requirements, and the expanding impact of artificial intelligence on risk management. It then connects federal, state, and industry obligations, including NIST CSF 2.0, HIPAA, CJIS, PCI DSS 4.0, CMMC, and emerging privacy laws to practical security program design. Attendees will leave with a clear framework for building a complete security program that integrates governance, segmentation, risk management, Zero Trust principles, and penetration testing to reduce risk and support regulatory readiness.

As organizations adopt Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architectures, many discover that security effectiveness depends not only on the platform itself, but also on where inspection occurs and how traffic reaches security services.

This session explores the architectural considerations that influence user experience, application performance, security visibility, and operational resiliency in modern SASE deployments. Attendees will learn how regional security presence, traffic localization and resilient connectivity can improve outcomes for distributed organizations.

Using real-world deployment examples, we will examine the role of localized security inspection, digital experience monitoring, and emerging AI-powered security capabilities. The session will conclude with demonstrations and practical guidance for evaluating SASE architectures that balance global reach with local performance and operational simplicity.

  Presented by Bradley Mitchell and Olivia Geesen, Prisma SASE Specialists • Palo Alto Networks

In the race for AI dominance, many businesses are hitting the brakes as security struggles to keep up. We're stuck in a "Fragmentation Tax," managing endless siloed tools, to protect against prompt injections, shadow AI, and data exfiltration.

Prisma SASE specialists, Bradley Mitchell and Olivia Geesen, will discuss how organizations can approach these challenges including the benefits of a holistic platform strategy.
