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

  Presented by Andy Rezabek, Sales Engineer • Horizon3

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 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] 30 Years of Security Assumptions Broke: Rethinking Security Controls in the Age of AI

  Presented by Rob Larsen, Advisor • Silverfort

Frontier AI has quietly retired a three-decade assumption: that defenders have time to react after an attacker moves. Autonomous models now compress full attack chains into minutes, chaining ordinary misconfigurations at machine speed with no hesitation and no fatigue. Detection becomes forensic instead of preventive. Vulnerability management can’t patch fast enough. Periodic access reviews can’t review fast enough.

The answer requires a fundamental shift: from preset admin-time access rules and too-reactive detection to controls placed at the moment it matters most: runtime. Every identity, human, machine, or AI agent, must authenticate to act. That moment is the only control point capable of operating at machine speed, intervening before lateral movement begins.

This session gives security leaders the framework to drive that shift — examining why traditional controls collapse against AI-powered adversaries, what runtime enforcement looks like in practice, and how to elevate identity to a genuine, autonomous enforcement point at the center of a modern security operating model.

[1 CPE] AI Agents Have More Access Than Employees: Discovery, Enforcement, and Audit Evidence

  Presented by Chris Hoesly, Field CTO and Craig Pfister, Vice President, Sales Engineering • BigID & Kiteworks

An AI agent is authenticated once, on a service account with broad read access. Six months later it surfaces one patient’s data in another patient’s file. That failure is ordinary: 64% of organizations running AI in production had an AI-related security incident this year. Most place no limits on what data their agents can reach, and two-thirds of AI use runs through non-corporate accounts on corporate devices. When these breaches are investigated, the failure is rarely the model — it is the access around it. This session covers discovery, classification, per-request enforcement, and the evidence auditors now ask for.

[1 CPE] Agile Infrastructure: Transforming 5G and LEO Satellite into Enterprise-Grade WANs

  Presented by Ericsson

Legacy terrestrial networks often introduce deployment delays and single points of failure that modern enterprise and public sector operations cannot tolerate. From distributed commercial storefronts and temporary pop-up locations to emergency response vehicles and IoT ecosystems, organizations require agile, secure, and resilient connectivity that deploys in hours, not months. This session examines how Ericsson Enterprise Wireless Solutions, powered by Ericsson Cradlepoint wireless edge endpoints and the NetCloud platform, converts cellular and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite transports into a predictable network utility.

We will explore the operational realities of combining public, private, and non-terrestrial networks into a cohesive WAN edge. For the leadership in the room, we will discuss how this hybrid architecture accelerates time-to-market, ensures business continuity during physical fiber cuts, and simplifies zero trust security through integrated SASE. For the technical architects and partners, we will break down the edge mechanics required to achieve this, including link steering and bonding, device-level routing policies, and the management of differing latency profiles across simultaneous wireless link types. Attendees will leave with a practical blueprint for engineering high-performance, resilient connectivity anywhere, without infrastructure constraints.

[1 CPE] Building Trust for What’s Next: PKI Modernization & Quantum Readiness

  Presented by Bryan Pitts, Solutions Engineer  • DigiCert

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.

[1 CPE] Simplifying IT Infrastructure with Modern Hyperconverged Platforms

  Presented by Eric Skaare, Regional Channel Manager • Scale Computing

Managing servers, storage, and virtualization across multiple locations can increase complexity, cost, and administrative overhead. This session explores how modern hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) platforms simplify IT operations by consolidating core infrastructure into a unified solution. Attendees will learn how organizations are improving performance, enhancing resilience, reducing hardware footprints, and streamlining management across distributed environments. The session will also examine key considerations when evaluating HCI platforms and strategies for freeing IT teams to focus on higher-value initiatives rather than day-to-day infrastructure management.

[1 CPE] The People Behind the Threats and Trends: Observations from the Front Lines

  Presented by Peter Ingebrigtsen, Sr Technical Marketing Manager US • Arctic Wolf

Cybersecurity threats are shaped and stopped by the people on the front lines.

[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] AI-Native Networking: From Reactive IT to Autonomous Operations

  Presented by William Admire, HPE AI for Networking Specialist SE • HPE

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.
