Presented by Morgan Trust, Associate Penetration Tester, Offensive Services • FRSecure
Artificial Intelligence (Al) is significantly transforming social engineering tactics. Join Morgan Trust as he discusses the evolution of Al as a threat factor and how, by leveraging Al, attackers can automate and enhance phishing schemes, creating highly personalized and convincing messages that are more accurate and effective.
Presented by Matt Weber, Chief Information Security Officer, Pima County, AZ • The INTERFACE Advisory Council
As organizations race to adopt AI, effective governance is becoming essential. Join Matt Weber as he shares how Pima County developed a practical framework for AI governance, including the creation of an AI subcommittee and the implementation of an AI usage policy. Attendees will gain real-world insights, lessons learned, and actionable guidance they can use to establish or strengthen AI governance programs within their own organizations.
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.
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.
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:
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.
Presented by Daniel Navarro, Sales Engineer • ESET
This session explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping the modern cyber threat landscape by empowering both attackers and defenders. It examines how adversaries use AI to scale attacks, evade detection, and increase their effectiveness. The presentation also highlights how organizations can leverage AI to build proactive, adaptive defenses that detect and respond to threats more efficiently. Finally, it showcases how ESET applies AI-driven technologies to protect against evolving cyber-attacks and strengthen overall security resilience.
Presented by Mac Avancena, Field CISO • Check Point Software
AI adoption is accelerating, but most organizations are not ready.
While investment surges, the majority of AI initiatives fail to scale, deliver value, or operate securely. The challenge isn’t the technology; it’s the inability to align AI with governance, financial realities, and measurable business outcomes.
In this session, Mac Avancena cuts through the hype to expose the real gap between AI ambition and execution. Learn why most AI programs stall, which organizations are actually succeeding, and how leaders can fund, secure, and scale AI in constrained environments.
This session delivers a clear framework to:
AI won’t wait. The question is whether your organization can keep up, securely and profitably.
Presented by Steven Gautier, Principal Solutions Architect • Thales
Welcome to our session on modern data threats and protection strategies. As cyber risks evolve, securing sensitive information is more critical than ever. We’ll explore how encryption and key management can help protect your most valuable assets, especially in cloud environments.
We’ll highlight the benefits of external key management, offering greater control and compliance. Additionally, we’ll touch on the growing impact of quantum computing—and why it’s vital to start preparing now.
Join us to discover the latest advancements in data security and learn how to stay ahead of emerging threats.
Presented by Patricia Titus, Field CISO • Abnormal
As email-based threats continue to evolve in speed and sophistication, traditional “known-bad” detection methods are no longer enough to protect modern organizations. This session explores the shift toward a “known-normal” security model, where behavioral AI establishes a dynamic baseline of trusted activity to identify anomalies, detect emerging threats, and stop attacks before they escalate.
Designed for executive and security leaders, this presentation will examine how behavioral-based threat detection strengthens resilience against advanced phishing, business email compromise, and AI-driven attacks. Attendees will leave with practical guidance for evaluating their current email security stack, adopting modern AI-powered defenses, and implementing key strategies to stay ahead of today’s rapidly changing threat landscape.
