[1 CPE] From Endless Alerts to Continuous Action: Why CISOs Are Shifting to CTEM

  Presented by George Tang, Solution Engineer • Zafran Security

First introduced by Gartner in 2022, Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) has quickly moved beyond buzzword status to become a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity programs. Beyond traditional vulnerability management programs, CTEM focuses on continuously identifying, validating, and prioritizing exposures so security teams can act with precision.

But the stakes are rising. Adversaries are weaponizing AI to discover and exploit vulnerabilities faster than ever, leaving organizations little margin for error. For CISOs, the challenge isn’t just finding exposures—it’s keeping pace with an accelerating threat landscape while making smarter use of existing resources.

[1 CPE] The Enterprise Buyer’s Guide to AI Security Platforms

  Presented by Cato Networks

AI adoption is accelerating faster than security and governance, exposing organizations as sensitive data flows through copilots, LLM-powered apps, and agentic systems that legacy tools can’t properly protect. With a surge of AI security vendors entering the market, buying the right platform can be confusing. This presentation helps security leaders evaluate AI security solutions by clarifying the new risks AI creates, explaining the core pillars of AI security, and outlining how to compare platforms, ask the right questions, and avoid common buying mistakes.

[1 CPE] From Liability to Asset: Securing Unstructured Data at Scale in the Era of AI

  Presented by Rubrik

Unstructured data is the lifeblood of the modern organization, yet its sheer volume often outpaces the strategies meant to protect it. As this data becomes the fuel for future AI initiatives and business intelligence, the “old way” of managing NAS has become a primary point of failure.

In this session, we’ll dive into how Rubrik NAS Cloud Direct (NCD) redefines the protection of PB-scale file systems. We will explore a modern architectural approach that provides the speed, visibility, and cloud-native flexibility required to turn massive data sets into resilient assets. Whether you are preparing for an AI-driven future or simply struggling with the growth of your current footprint, this session will provide a blueprint for total unstructured data control.

[1 CPE] The Speed of Trust: Why Your AI Strategy is Only as Fast as Your Security Architecture

  Presented by Chris Staley, SASE Specialist • Palo Alto Networks

In the race for AI dominance, many businesses are hitting the brakes because their security can’t keep up. They’re stuck in the “Fragmentation Tax”—managing 60+ tools that don’t talk to each other while trying to govern a world of prompt injections and “Shadow AI.” Chris Staley, SASE Specialist at Palo Alto, will present on how organizations need to think about these challenges. Many organizations are caught between the need to reduce tool sprawl and contending with the hidden costs of adopting incomplete platforms.

[1 CPE] Cybersecurity and Compliance For 2026

  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.

[1 CPE] 6 Hard Lessons from Zero Trust Deployments: What the Field is Actually Seeing

  Presented by John Spiegel, Security CTO and HPE Distinguished Technologist • HPE Networking

Zero Trust has quickly moved from security concept to board-level mandate. Yet the reality inside most organizations is far messier than the architecture diagrams suggest.

Based on several hundred interviews with IT and security practitioners as well as the analyst community, this session explores what actually happens when organizations attempt to implement Zero Trust. The findings are sobering: roughly 60–70% of Zero Trust initiatives stall before reaching maturity, and fewer than 20% achieve a fully realized Zero Trust architecture.

Rather than focusing on theory or vendor frameworks, this session examines six hard lessons from the field, highlighting both the successes and the failures organizations encounter along the way. Topics include why many Zero Trust initiatives stall, where organizations underestimate complexity, the architectural decisions that matter most, and what successful deployments do differently.

This presentation is not a product pitch. Instead, it’s a candid discussion of the hard realities of Zero Trust deployment, grounded in the experiences of practitioners across hundreds of organizations. Attendees will leave with practical insights into what works, what fails, and how to move a Zero Trust initiative from concept to operational reality.

[1 CPE] Inside the 2026 Threat Detection Report: A First Look at this Year’s Report

  Presented by Red Canary

Join us for a deep dive into our 2026 Threat Detection Report. We’ll reveal how identity threats have skyrocketed to account for more than half of all detected threats. We will discuss how adversaries are weaponizing the “human element” through “paste-and-run” tactics and discover why the browser has become the ultimate frontline for both defenders and attackers alike. You’ll leave with better knowledge of the top threats and techniques, along with our recommendations on how to handle them.

[1 CPE] Beyond Backups: Building a Cloud Disaster Recovery Strategy that Works

  Presented by Seth Eliot, Principal Resilience Architect • Arpio

You’ve backed up your data. You’ve secured your application code and infrastructure as code. You’ve documented runbooks. But when Google accidentally deleted a customer’s entire cloud environment for a week, or when Change Healthcare’s partners refused connectivity for 90 days after a breach, backups alone weren’t enough. The real objective is to recover quickly and completely—data, infrastructure, networking, configuration, and security principles—all together.

In this talk, you’ll learn the requirements for fast, reliable recovery, including cross-region and cross-account isolation, complete workload recovery, and testability. We’ll walk through the design decisions you need to make and how you can implement them using cloud native tools. All while applying best practices to reduce toil and test your DR strategy safely and frequently.

[1 CPE] 2026 Cyber Crime Trends and Improving Security with Operation Winter Shield

  Presented by FBI Portland Cyber Task Force

Hijacked networks, cryptocurrency heists, and corporate espionage are but a few examples of the spiraling cyber threat. Every year, our adversaries become savvier and increasingly callous – attacking power grids, shutting down hospitals, and stoking geopolitical tensions. State-sponsored cyber actors wield every element of their national power to target the United States and its critical infrastructure. Skilled cybercriminals exploit new and longstanding vulnerabilities to steal our money and hold our data for ransom.

Combating these threats is the primary mission of the FBI’s cyber program. As the lead federal agency for investigating cyberattacks and intrusions, we engage with victims and work to unmask those committing malicious cyber activities, wherever they are.

Join us for a session from an FBI Special Agent to learn how you can improve your security approach.

[1 CPE] The Great VM Escape: Live Migration Demo from VMware to AHV

  Presented by Nutanix

Join us for a live, end-to-end demonstration of migrating virtual machines from VMware to Nutanix AHV—no fluff, just real results. We’ll showcase the power of Nutanix Move to seamlessly convert and migrate VMs from Microsoft Hyper-V, ESXi, and even cloud environments to AHV with minimal disruption. If you’re evaluating modernization strategies or planning a hypervisor transition, this session delivers practical insights you can apply immediately.
