[1 CPE] Business First: Accelerating Microsoft 365 Recovery from Weeks to Hours

  Presented by Ryan Garrett, Advisory Sales Engineer • Rubrik

It doesn’t matter whether the event was an accidental deletion, a malicious insider, an external attacker, or an AI-driven data destruction event. No matter the cause, are you prepared to recover your business? When your Microsoft 365 environment is down, the only job is getting operations back online. Autonomous Business Recovery identifies your Minimum Viable Business, the critical users, groups, and data they’ve been working with, and restores them first. No manual inventories, no guesswork, no waiting on a full mass restore that could take weeks due to Microsoft’s API constraints. In this session, we’ll walk through how ABR sequences your recovery from the most critical operations to the last mailbox, collapsing recovery time from weeks to hours regardless of what caused the outage.

[1 CPE] Driving Innovation with Unified Governance and Security

  Presented by Ken Robinson, Solution Engineer • Island

Browser-based apps, unsanctioned SaaS, and a fast-growing wave of AI assistants are reshaping modern work; and they are entering the enterprise faster than security teams can govern them. For today’s CIO and CISO, the mandate is no longer to choose between enablement and control; it’s to deliver both at once. “Shadow AI” has made that tension urgent and the organizations that win will be the ones that channel this energy safely rather than trying to block it.

This session lays out a practical path to enabling innovation without surrendering governance. We’ll explore how unified visibility into AI and other application usage, granular controls that keep sensitive data protected, and cross-functional collaboration between security, risk, and the business can turn these ungoverned risks into a governed advantage.

Join us to discuss:

  • Turning Shadow AI into sanctioned AI — enabling adoption while maintaining control.
  • Unified visibility and policy across browsers, SaaS, and AI tools.
  • Operational, risk, and compliance impacts — and the collaboration model that keeps organizations resilient, adaptable, and ahead.

[1 CPE] The New Hypervisor Landscape: Market Shifts, Platform Tradeoffs, and Migration Paths

  Presented by Mike Bullough, Principal Engineer, Solution Engineering • CompuNet

This presentation explores the current state of enterprise virtualization after VMware’s transition to a more tightly bundled, subscription-based model. It compares the leading replacement paths including Hyper-V, Nutanix, Proxmox, HPE VME, and cloud first strategies, and examines how cost, maturity, ecosystem fit, and operational complexity are shaping the way infrastructure leaders approach virtualization strategy.

[1 CPE] How to Own and Protect Your Code in the Age of AI

  Presented by Bradlee Frazer Esq., Partner, Hawley Troxell Law Firm • INTERFACE Advisory Council

As you know if you’ve heard Brad’s presentation called “Who Owns the Code?” (presented with his partner in crime Rich Hundhausen), the uneasy intersection of copyright law and AI has called into question traditional code ownership paradigms. It used to be easy: a human wrote source code and thereafter owned a copyright in those lines of Python (or whatever).  But with the rise of Claude coding (or Grok or Gemini or other AI), code ownership is no longer black and white. And if you do not own the code, you cannot legally monetize it and protect it. Join Hawley Troxell partner Brad Frazer for a lively and interactive discussion of “Best Practices to Own Your Code in the Age of AI.”

Bradlee Frazer is a partner with Hawley Troxell and is Chair of the firm’s Intellectual Property & Internet practice group. In addition to emphasizing and focusing on all facets of Internet law, Intellectual Property law, and Information Technology law, he also helps clients with related transactional work and litigation.

Brad is a published novelist, and he has also written extensively for national legal publications and law blogs. He is also a frequent speaker on internet, intellectual property, and computer law topics and is a regular guest lecturer at Boise State University on those subjects.

[1 CPE] Has Mythos Forever Broken Cybersecurity?

  Presented by Jesse Shairi, Sr Systems Engineer • Illumio

Mythos is a wake-up call to the exposure which everyone has to cybercrime. No target is too small and 100% of us will eventually be breached. Segmentation is the foundation of isolating the inevitable breach, preventing a small problem from escalating to putting you in the news as the latest victim. Learn how to discover and enforce all breaches, securing your environment from both known and unknown threats.

[1 CPE] 2026 Global Threat Landscape Report: Insights & Findings

  Presented by Eric Teece, Director, Systems Engineering • Fortinet

In 2026, the threat landscape cannot be accurately described through isolated indicators or single-domain trends. Adversaries operate across an end-to-end lifecycle that begins well before intrusion through exposure discovery, access brokerage, and industrialized preparation, and continues through exploitation, persistence, monetization, and operational impact.

Across exposure, exploitation, execution, and impact, the common variable is not just attacker sophistication. It is speed and reuse.

Come and learn our findings in exposure, weaponization, exploitation, post-exploitation, impact, cross-threat convergence, execution model, and cloud.

[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] The Mythos Paradigm: Securing the Enterprise Against Autonomous AI Threats

  Presented by Lucas Persell, Sr Solutions Architect • C1

In April 2026, the cybersecurity landscape experienced a permanent, structural shift with the disclosure of Anthropic’s Claude Mythos 5—the first frontier AI model natively capable of autonomous, multi-step vulnerability discovery, reverse-engineering, and zero-day exploit generation in production codebases. With federal agencies like CISA actively using Mythos to audit government software, and open-weight models like Z.ai’s GLM-5.2 democratizing these capabilities globally, the window between vulnerability disclosure and automated corporate takeover has collapsed to minutes.

The legacy “Assume Breach” defensive paradigm—relying on human-led SOC alert triage and standard monthly patching SLAs—is dangerously obsolete. Security leaders must transition to an “Assume Exploitation” posture.

In this technical yet strategic session, Senior Solutions Architect, Lucas Persell, explores the anatomy of autonomous AI threat agents. Attendees will demystify how these agents orchestrate multi-file code execution, learn the three foundational pillars of modern post-Mythos defense (continuous reachability exposure management, zero-trust microsegmentation, and machine-speed autonomous response), and discover how to integrate automated playbooks to neutralize agentic threats at sub-second speeds.
