[1 CPE] The 2026 AI SOC Leadership Report: What Security Leaders Really Want

  Presented by Torq

Torq surveyed 450 SOC leaders globally to find out what AI is actually doing inside the SOC. The findings challenged some assumptions — and confirmed others.

We’ll dig into insights including:

  • Why 97% of security leaders are confident AI can handle triage, but only 35% are using it there
  • What’s behind the trust barrier that 92% of leaders say is holding AI back
  • What 85% of leaders mean when they say they want a “unified platform”
  • Where teams plan to expand AI over the next 12 months — and what’s standing in their way

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

  Presented by Steven Alexander, Sales Engineer • 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] Industry Leading Alternatives to VMware and Legacy Hypervisors

  Presented by Eric Skaare, Regional Channel Manager • Scale Computing & INVITE Networks

As organizations modernize, many are seeking robust alternatives to traditional hypervisors. This session explores how Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) simplifies IT, improves resilience, and reduces operational complexity across data center and edge environments.

We will highlight Scale Computing, an all-in-one HCI platform that integrates compute, storage, and virtualization. Additionally, we will showcase how Parallels VDI seamlessly layers on top to deliver secure, easy-to-manage virtual desktops. Together, they provide a powerful, cost-effective alternative to complex legacy stacks like VMware and VMware Horizon.

[1 CPE] Phishing You Never See: Combat Lessons for the AI Era

  Presented by Dan Zaffino, Sr Solutions Engineer • Yubico

Senior Solutions Engineer and Marine Corps veteran Dan Zaffino draws on lessons from combat patrols in Iraq. This session reframes AI-driven phishing through a hard truth: the threat was the road itself. You didn’t get to shoot back, and survival came down to how you were postured before contact. The IED is the phish you never see forming.

Most other talks on AI will leave you with another threat to dodge. This one is armor.

Phishing is the #1 way attackers get in. AI didn’t invent it. AI weaponized it. Perfect grammar, infinite scale, cloned voices, and deepfakes have erased every tell you trained people to catch.

We’ll look honestly at why most MFA isn’t armor. Push, OTP, and SMS all fail against AI-grade phishing, but one approach doesn’t just reduce the threat, it takes it off the table. Vendor-agnostic, practical, and built for what you can do Monday morning.

Fear kills action, but action cures fear.

You’re already in the fight. Come learn how to present a hard target.

[1 CPE] Cybersecurity in the Era of Mythos

  Presented by Avi Mileguir, Global Head of Exposure Management • Check Point Software & Optiv

Explore the growing gap between cybersecurity perception and reality in an age defined by AI, automation, and increasingly sophisticated threats. Join Avi Mileguir, Global Head of Exposure Management, as he examines common security myths, emerging risks, and the strategies organizations can use to gain true visibility into their attack surface and make more informed risk decisions.

[1 CPE] The Future of Ransomware is Here: ESET’s Latest Threat Report

  Presented by Juan Portillo, Strategic Account Manager • 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.

[1 CPE] The New CyberSec Workforce: Leading Through Change, Strengthening Collective Defense

  Presented by Frank J. Grimmelman, President & CEO, and Christian Taillon, Threat Intelligence Director • ACTRA

Cybersecurity is undergoing a fundamental transformation. The traditional security workforce model is being reshaped by automation, AI-driven operations, evolving skill requirements, hybrid work environments, and persistent talent shortages. At the same time, organizations are under increasing pressure to deliver measurable security outcomes faster, with fewer resources and greater accountability.

This session explores how leading organizations are adapting through workforce modernization, process transformation, and smarter operating models that maximize existing talent. It will also examine why collective defense has become an increasingly important force multiplier—enabling organizations to strengthen resilience through trusted collaboration, shared intelligence, and coordinated response.

Attendees will gain practical insights into how modern cybersecurity teams can overcome talent pressures, improve efficiency, and achieve stronger results in today’s rapidly evolving threat environment.

Mr. Frank J. Grimmelmann serves as President & CEO for the Arizona Cyber Threat Response Alliance (ACTRA), a non-profit entity that was developed collaboratively with the Arizona InfraGard Program, the FBI, USDHS and law enforcement, and independently launched in 2013 to enable its private/public sector member organizations across all critical sectors to enable themselves to respond to the escalating national cybersecurity threat.

[1 CPE] The Anatomy of a Ransomware Attack

  Presented by Torry Williams, Lead Solutions Architect • 11:11 Systems

Recovery plans are no longer optional—they’re inevitable. In today’s evolving threat landscape, every business will be tested. Whether it’s traditional disasters driven by nature or human error, or modern-day crises fueled by cyberattacks and ransomware, the stakes are higher than ever.

How do you ensure your organization is prepared not just to survive, but to recover with confidence? In this session, we’ll cover:

  • The key stages of a cyberattack and what they mean for your business
  • Best practices to reduce your exposure and minimize impact
  • Essential tools and strategies to recover quickly if compromised
  • What a real-world recovery looks like—and how to be ready for it

[1 CPE] Has Mythos Forever Broken Cybersecurity?

  Presented by Christer Swartz, Director, Industry Solutions  • 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.

Christer Swartz is Director of Industry Solutions for Illumio. He has spent many years in the Cyber industry, beginning with a small startup called Cisco. He was part of Netflix’s design of Internet video-streaming, without breaking the Internet, then with Palo Alto Networks. He focuses on the details of cybersecurity to specific industries, and how platforms integrate across the broader security industry, from Cloud-managed Kubernetes to Data Center mainframes.
