[1 CPE] Three Wins to Chase, Three Disasters to Dodge

  Presented by Amy McLaughlin • Chief Information Officer, University of Wyoming

Amy McLaughlin cuts through the noise surrounding artificial intelligence and focuses on what leaders should actually be doing today. Drawing on real-world experience, she will walk through three high-impact ways AI is already delivering value and three common missteps that are creating unnecessary risk, wasted effort, and loss of trust. Rather than chasing tools or trends, Amy will talk about how to make better decisions: where to lean in, where to slow down, and how to approach AI as a leadership and governance challenge, not just a technology one.

Amy McLaughlin is the Vice President of Information Technology and Chief Information Officer at the University of Wyoming, the state’s flagship and only public university, where she leads the technology organization responsible for enabling teaching, learning, research, and statewide outreach.

A nationally recognized technology and cybersecurity leader with more than two decades of experience, Amy is known for driving practical innovation, modernizing complex environments, and building high-performing teams across higher education and government. Her career spans leadership roles in enterprise IT, cybersecurity, and network services, including senior positions at Oregon State University and the State of Oregon, where she led large-scale transformation efforts, strengthened infrastructure resilience, and advanced security programs. Amy brings a strategic, people-centered approach to technology leadership, grounded in deep operational experience and a strong commitment to mission-driven outcomes.

[1 CPE] Will AI Take Your Job? How Do You Ensure It Doesn’t?

  Presented by CompuNet

As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, its impact on the workforce is becoming increasingly profound. This presentation explores the reality behind the provocative claim that “”AI will take your job,”” examining which industries and roles are most at risk and which are poised for growth. Attendees will gain insights into the skills that are becoming obsolete, the capabilities that remain uniquely human, and the emerging opportunities in an AI-driven economy. The session will provide practical strategies for adapting to technological disruption, including upskilling, embracing digital tools, and cultivating resilience. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how to future-proof their careers and thrive in the age of intelligent machines.

[1 CPE] Proving Cyber Resilience: Measuring Outcomes, Not Effort

  Presented by Tony Taylor, Sales Engineer • Horizon3.ai

Most security programs measure effort — not outcomes. Organizations patch thousands of vulnerabilities, deploy dozens of tools, and run annual tabletop exercises… but when an attacker shows up, none of that matters.

What matters is whether they can prove their defenses actually work.

In this talk, Horizon3.ai shares how leading organizations are using autonomous pentesting to see their environment through the attacker’s eyes — continuously, safely, and at scale. By shifting from assumptions to proof, they’ve learned to:

  • Prioritize what’s exploitable. Focus limited resources on the weaknesses that truly put the business at risk that are known to be abused by threat actors.
  • Quickly fix what matters. Close the loop from find → fix → verify and reduce your exploitable attack surface.
  • Reduce attacker dwell time. Use pentest results to precisely deploy honeyTokens to detect compromise early, and to continuously prove your EDR and SIEM are tuned and working as intended.

Cyber resilience isn’t about being perfect — it’s about getting better over time. And the only perspective that truly matters is the attacker’s.

[1 CPE] Beyond Cybersecurity: Assembling Resiliency for the Inevitable Breach

  Presented by BJ Deonarain, Global Quantum and Classic Cyber Security Director • Hitachi Vantara

The Imperative for Resiliency, 100% cyber security is unachievable; breaches are inevitable, where modern threats demand a shift from reactive defense to proactive resilience. Resilience requires mindset and culture change, not just new technology, while focus can sustain operations and limit damage when security fails.

Assembling the resiliency strategic pillars and actions:

  • Risk Assessment: continuous evaluation of assets and vulnerabilities
  • Incident Response: develop, test, and update comprehensive crisis plans
  • Employee Training: ongoing education to make staff the first line of defense
  • Systems Testing: regular audits, penetration tests, and vulnerability scans
  • Partnerships: collaborate with industry experts for knowledge sharing
  • Culture: embed resiliency throughout the organization at every level

BJ Deonarain is a globally focused cybersecurity executive responsible for driving cyber security and cyber resiliency strategy at Hitachi Vantara. With a career spanning technical innovation, client solutions, and cross-functional leadership, BJ combines deep technical expertise with a client-centric approach to mitigate risk and elevate organizational security postures.

[1 CPE] From Vibe Coding to Agentic Engineering: Agile and DevOps in Enterprise AI Development

  Presented by Mike Douglas, SVP Digital Transformation • Lunavi

Enterprises everywhere are racing to incorporate AI into their development practices to improve time to market, create competitive advantages, and avoid being left behind. The tools make it easy to get started, but building mission-critical software with AI is a different challenge entirely. Human + AI development demands security, accountability, and rigorous quality controls that isn’t part of most AI development practices.

In this talk, I’ll show how Agentic Engineering built on a foundation of Agile and DevOps, provides a process for developing software at high speed while keeping humans in the loop, delivering value incrementally, and baking quality into every step through automated security and quality gates. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of modern AI development tools and processes, and how proven Agile and DevOps practices provide the critical human oversight that responsible AI development requires.
