Join us to discover the latest advancements in data security and learn how to stay ahead of emerging threats.

[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 AI Mutiny: Regaining Control of the Unauthorized Intelligence Explosion

  Presented by Palo Alto Networks

Your employees are already using AI—the only question is whether you’re invited to the party. Statistics show that nearly 60% of the workforce has bypassed IT to use AI tools, leading to a surge in data exposure and breach incidents. The “Shadow” has returned, and it’s smarter than ever. Join us for a look at the reality of Shadow AI in the enterprise. We’ll analyze real-world breach scenarios and provide a roadmap for reclaiming control. Learn how to empower your workforce with approved, secure AI alternatives that satisfy the need for speed without sacrificing security.

[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] Securing AI Adoption: Protecting Data, Applications, and APIs in the Era of Generative AI

  Presented by Steven Gautier, Principal Solutions Architect • Thales

Organizations across every industry are rapidly adopting Generative AI, machine learning, and AI-powered applications to improve efficiency, automate processes, and unlock new insights from their data. However, these technologies also introduce new security challenges.

AI systems rely heavily on enterprise data, APIs, and interconnected applications, creating potential risks such as sensitive data exposure, prompt injection attacks, API abuse, and unauthorized access to AI models.

  • In this session, we will explore the security architecture required to safely deploy AI technologies within modern enterprise environments.
  • Attendees will learn practical strategies for protecting the data that powers AI models, the APIs that deliver AI services, and the applications that integrate AI into business workflows.
  • The session will also cover emerging AI-specific threats, governance considerations, and best practices organizations can use to maintain security, compliance, and trust while accelerating AI adoption.
  • Participants will leave with a clear framework for securely enabling AI innovation across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.

[1 CPE] The New Media Stack: How AI is Rewriting Cybersecurity Journalism

  Presented by Karissa Breen • Founder & Head of Cybersecurity Journalism, KBI.Media
 Keynote presentation brought to you by Business Improvement Group

The way cybersecurity professionals consume information is undergoing a fundamental shift. For years, the industry relied on a traditional media pipeline, like vendor announcements, PR outreach, journalist coverage, and static articles. But the rise of large language models and AI-powered discovery tools is dismantling that model.

Instead of searching for articles or relying on outdated reports, professionals ask AI systems to synthesize information, explain threats and summarize events. In this new environment, AI effectively becomes the front page of the internet, determining which voices, sources and insights are surfaced.

In this keynote, Karissa Breen (KB) examines how AI is reshaping cybersecurity journalism, the rise of “reference media” that LLMs trust and cite and why credibility and original reporting matter more than ever in the algorithmically mediated game. Drawing on her experience building a modern cybersecurity media platform, Breen will explore what the next generation of cyber media looks like and how organizations can adapt to a future where AI curates the conversation and this means for staying on top of cyber content and the retention of the knowledge.

Karissa Breen, more commonly known as KB, is crowned a LinkedIn ‘Top Voice in Technology’ and widely recognized across the global cybersecurity industry. A serial entrepreneur, she is the co-founder of the TMFE Group, a portfolio of cybersecurity-focused businesses spanning an industry-leading media platform, a specialist marketing agency, a content production studio, and the executive headhunting firm, MercSec. Now based in the United States, KB oversees US editorial operations and leads the expansion of the group’s media footprint across North America, while maintaining a strong presence in Australia, and the broader global market. She is the former Producer and Host of the streaming show 2Fa.tv, and currently sits at the helm of journalism for the group’s flagship arm, KBI.Media, the independent cybersecurity media company. As a cybersecurity investigative journalist, KB hosts her globally-renowned podcast, KBKast, where she interviews leading cybersecurity practitioners, CISOs, government officials including heads-of-state, and industry pioneers from around the world. The podcast has been downloaded in over 65 countries with more than 400,000 global downloads, influencing billions of dollars in cybersecurity budgets. KB is known for asking the hard questions and extracting real, commercially relevant insights. Her approach provides an uncolored, strategic lens on the evolving cybersecurity landscape, demystifying complex security issues and translating them into practical intelligence for executives navigating risk, regulation, and rapid technological change.

[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.
