[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.

[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.
