[1 CPE] The New AI Era in Cybersecurity: What it Means for Your Organization

  Presented by Raymond Neff, Sr Solutions Architect • 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.

[1 CPE] Building Trust for What’s Next: PKI Modernization & Quantum Readiness

  Presented by Jared Mensinger, Sr Solutions Engineer  • DigiCert

Certificate lifetimes are shrinking. Browser requirements are evolving. Machine identities are growing exponentially. At the same time, organizations are beginning to plan for post-quantum cryptography while supporting new AI-driven systems that depend on trusted digital interactions.

These changes are transforming PKI from a traditional security function into the operational trust layer for modern business.

This session provides a practical roadmap for modernizing PKI, improving visibility into machine identities, automating certificate lifecycle management, and building crypto-agility for future cryptographic transitions. Attendees will leave with actionable steps to reduce operational risk today while preparing for post-quantum security and the next generation of digital trust.

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

  Presented by Wafi Choudhury, Enterprise 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] 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] Proving Cyber Resilience: Measuring Outcomes, Not Effort

  Presented by Andy Rezabek, Sales Engineer • Horizon3.ai

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.ai 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.

[1 CPE] 30 Years of Security Assumptions Broke: Rethinking Security Controls in the Age of AI

  Presented by Pete Petersen, Sales Engineer • Silverfort

Frontier AI has quietly retired a three-decade assumption: that defenders have time to react after an attacker moves. Autonomous models now compress full attack chains into minutes, chaining ordinary misconfigurations at machine speed with no hesitation and no fatigue. Detection becomes forensic instead of preventive. Vulnerability management can’t patch fast enough. Periodic access reviews can’t review fast enough.

The answer requires a fundamental shift: from preset admin-time access rules and too-reactive detection to controls placed at the moment it matters most: runtime. Every identity, human, machine, or AI agent, must authenticate to act. That moment is the only control point capable of operating at machine speed, intervening before lateral movement begins.

This session gives security leaders the framework to drive that shift — examining why traditional controls collapse against AI-powered adversaries, what runtime enforcement looks like in practice, and how to elevate identity to a genuine, autonomous enforcement point at the center of a modern security operating model.

[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] 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.
