Presented by JR Silverthorne, Partner Solutions Consultant, West • Palo Alto Networks
So many industry players want to speak to and about tool consolidation and a platformization play in the cybersecurity space. We want to examine the classical SOC model and turn it on its head and reveal how a suite of capabilities enable root cause analysis, risk context, correlation, and automation across an open platform that accepts the widest and largest variety of data sources from the endpoint to the data center to the cloud. Our approach –– Xtended Security Intelligence Automation Management.
If your interest is in achieving the lowest MTTR and MTTD, if you want to detect security incidents and remediate faster, then your path forward has to unify workflows, utilize embedded intelligence, and provide automated responses. Let us show you how Palo Alto with 20,000 employees operates their SOC with just 15 people.
Presented by Collin Miller • Director, Cloud Security, Structured
As organizations accelerate AI adoption, the security landscape is evolving just as quickly. This presentation explores the foundations of AI security, starting with an overview of emerging AI-specific threats and the importance of structured defense approaches. We will examine leading frameworks—MITRE ATLAS and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework—and how they guide organizations in identifying, assessing, and mitigating AI risks.
We will then focus on Microsoft 365 Copilot, outlining its security architecture and built-in protections, followed by a technical case study on the Echo Leak vulnerability, demonstrating real-world exploitation risks. s a bonus, we will also take a look at the recent SalesDrift vulnerability, and the growing attack surface around LLM chatbot integration and supply chain risks.
Finally, we will provide an overview of Structured’s AI security service offerings. Attendees will gain both strategic insights and practical approaches to securing AI systems, preparing them to meet the challenges of an AI-powered future.

Presented by David Pier, Sr Sales Engineer • Zscaler
In 2024, Red Canary detected nearly 93,000 threats—an increase of more than a third from the previous year—driven by expanded visibility into cloud and identity infrastructure. For the seventh year, our Threat Detection Report analyzes the most prevalent cyber threats, evolving attack techniques, and the incidents we help customers resolve.
This session will highlight key trends, including email threats, infostealers, and LLM hijacking in the cloud, while breaking down the top 10 MITRE ATT&CK® techniques and most prevalent threats in customer environments. Attendees will gain actionable insights into detection, testing, and prevention strategies to enhance their security posture against today’s evolving threats.
Presented by Kelly Brazil, Sr Director, Security Architects • Juniper Networks
In today’s cybersecurity world, AI is making fast moves to improve the defense line, but adversaries are also using AI to build attacks faster and be more precise in entering the victim. Social Engineering, targeted phishing attacks where the text is generated by GenAI engines – make it even simpler to get in.
To overcome what is offered as Attacks as a Service, the Security barrier needs fully meshed security policies, in-line Malware detection powered by AI, and effective ways to identify and mitigate Zero Day Attacks. The goal is to defend an Enterprise faster than the adversaries are moving and mitigate potential breaches by real-time/in-line defense.

Presented by Rob Ingenthron, Sr Solution Engineer • Semperis
Cyberattackers are adept at finding ways through your defenses and into identity systems like Active Directory. Many organizations use Active Directory as the primary identity service, and Active Directory is typically tied into almost everything, including Entra ID. From there, they can move laterally, escalate privileges, access sensitive resources, and inject malware or ransomware. Implementing a layered defense that includes identity threat detection and response (ITDR) is key to protecting your operational resilience.

Presented by INTERFACE Advisory Council
“Just automate that process! The firewall is fine—we’ve got an AI tool watching it.”
Sound familiar? Despite significant investments in cybersecurity and advanced tools, the human element remains one of the greatest vulnerabilities in any organization. This isn’t a new problem—ransomware attacks continue to thrive due to human error.
Insider threats, whether intentional or accidental, are often at the root of security breaches. So, what proactive steps are you taking to mitigate these risks?
Join the INTERFACE Salt Lake City Advisory Council for an engaging discussion on defending against internal threats. Local IT leaders will share their strategies, lessons learned, and practical tips for minimizing human error in cybersecurity. Bring your questions and join the conversation as we explore what’s working, what’s not, and what more needs to be done to protect our networks from within.
