[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] From Endless Alerts to Continuous Action: Why CISOs Are Shifting to CTEM

  Presented by George Tang, Solution Engineer • Zafran Security

First introduced by Gartner in 2022, Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) has quickly moved beyond buzzword status to become a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity programs. Beyond traditional vulnerability management programs, CTEM focuses on continuously identifying, validating, and prioritizing exposures so security teams can act with precision.

But the stakes are rising. Adversaries are weaponizing AI to discover and exploit vulnerabilities faster than ever, leaving organizations little margin for error. For CISOs, the challenge isn’t just finding exposures—it’s keeping pace with an accelerating threat landscape while making smarter use of existing resources.

[1 CPE] What the Hack is Going On?

  Presented by Tim Medin, Chief Executive Officer • Red Siege

A comprehensive overview of modern cybersecurity threats and how breaches occur. We will highlight the various methods used by cybercriminals, including phishing, social engineering, and ransomware attacks, and emphasize the importance of identifying and addressing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. There are a lot of vulnerabilities in the wild, and IT administrators and security professionals often focus on the wrong issues because they are easier to monitor or measure. By the end of the presentation, you will have gained valuable insights into the latest cybersecurity threats and how to protect against them.

[1 CPE] Data Resilience in the Age of Attack: Protect What Matters

  Presented by Landra Pierce, Product Strategy Technologist • Veeam

Cyberattacks are no longer a distant threat; they are a reality every IT team must be prepared for. When an attack occurs, your data becomes both the primary target and the key to recovery. Many organizations still rely on backup strategies that are designed for hardware failures or accidental deletions, rather than today’s threats, like ransomware, insider risk, and automated attacks. This disconnect creates vulnerabilities, especially when backups become an overlooked entry point in your security strategy. In this session, we will address these challenges to help you better protect your organization.

This session is ideal for IT professionals who want greater confidence in safeguarding their data and peace of mind. We will examine the most common oversights that leave organizations, including those in government, education, healthcare, and other sectors, exposed to cyberthreats. You’ll discover how teams are advancing beyond basic backup to adopt a cyber-ready approach, including topics like immutability, threat awareness, rapid recovery, and intelligent automation.

Our focus will be practical and grounded in real-world scenarios, and what truly works when pressure is high and time is limited. Because when every minute counts and trust is at stake, data resilience means more than surviving an attack. It’s about protecting what matters most and emerging even stronger.

[1 CPE] Maximizing Impact: A Guide to Scaling Red Team Operations

  Presented by Jake Gillen, Solutions Engineer • Pentera

As organizations face expanding attack surfaces, Red Teaming remains vital for uncovering true security gaps—but traditional methods can be difficult to scale. This session introduces Automated Security Validation and its role in strengthening and accelerating Red Team activities. We’ll define what Red Teaming is, outline how to plan an exercise, and walk through real examples that illustrate improved efficiency and coverage. Attendees will learn to complement manual Red Teaming by automating repetitive tasks, enabling teams to focus on high-value adversarial techniques and maximize overall impact.

[1 CPE] Cybersecurity: Emerging Threats & Defenses

  Presented by Jim Ambrosini, Director of Advisory Services • CompassMSP

In this session, cybersecurity expert Jim Ambrosini will cover critical topics, including the evolving nature of cybersecurity threats, emerging defenses against these threats, and the role of senior management in enhancing cybersecurity. You will learn about recent high-profile breaches, the factors contributing to increased risks, and practical strategies for identifying vulnerabilities and responding to incidents effectively. This session will delve into the implications of artificial intelligence on cybersecurity, threats such as ransomware and deepfakes, and the importance of robust cybersecurity governance. Case studies will provide real-world insight into breach responses, highlighting effective measures and mistakes made while emphasizing the need for continuous monitoring and proactive risk management.

[1 CPE] Rethink Incident Response: From Hourly Guesswork to Guaranteed Outcomes

  Presented by John McLaughlin, Principal Sales Engineer, PNW & Gary Quinn, Sr Sales Engineer, Enterprise US • Arctic Wolf

Traditional incident response often leaves organizations reacting under pressure, navigating uncertain costs, inconsistent coverage, and slow recovery. In this session, we’ll examine strategies for making incident response more predictable and outcome-focused. Participants will explore how structured response models—emphasizing planning, rapid containment, and coordinated recovery—can reduce operational risk, minimize downtime, and support business continuity. Attendees will gain practical insights into aligning incident response practices with organizational goals, enabling IT, risk, and executive teams to make more informed decisions and improve overall cyber resilience.

[1 CPE] The Foundation of Strong Security: Demystifying CIS Controls 1 & 2 for Enterprise Success

  Presented by Collin Covington, Sales Engineer • Axonius

Tired of the gap between security compliance and applicability? This session explores how to turn CIS Controls 1& 2, Asset Inventory and Secure Configuration, into actionable steps that strengthen your organization’s security foundation. We’ll discuss why these controls are essential for measuring and reducing risk, and how to apply them in ways that drive real outcomes rather than just checking compliance boxes. You will gain practical guidance to improve efficiency, reduce risk, and translate security requirements into meaningful results.

[1 CPE] Taking A Data-First Approach to Cyber Risk Management

  Presented by Austin Starowicz, Director, Solutions Consulting • Mastercard Cybersecurity

Cyber Risk Management has evolved. Every new vulnerability or regulation adds further pressures on already stretched teams to predict and manage the weakest links within your internal IT infrastructure. Piling on to today’s cyber risk landscape is the ever-expanding digital supply chain, and the need to onboard, assess, and monitor third parties, fourth parties, and Nth parties.

But does it really have to be that way?

Join this session from Mastercard Cybersecurity for an exclusive presentation on how a proactive “data-first” approach to cyber risk management can help you:

  • Improve monitoring for critical vulnerabilities to determine which ones really matter
  • Identify, Prioritize and Assess affected third parties in real-time
  • Leverage objective risk data into the decision-making processes
  • Streamline workflows and scale your operations
