Open Sessions
10:15 am - 10:50 amAI is revolutionizing cybersecurity at all levels, speeding up detection and enabling automated attacks on an unprecedented scale. This session examines AI’s dual role as both a powerful defensive tool and a new threat vector for attackers. Panelists will discuss how AI copilots enhance analyst workflows, triage, and anomaly detection, while also addressing emerging risks such as LLM data leakage, prompt injection, model poisoning, and hallucinations within high-trust SOC processes.
The discussion will cover AI governance and assurance frameworks, evolving regulatory expectations, and the impact of synthetic content—including deepfakes, audio spoofing, and hyper-personalized phishing—on social engineering defenses. Attendees will leave with a solid understanding of AI’s potential, the safety measures needed for responsible deployment, and practical steps for preparing teams and pipelines for an AI-driven threat environment.

1:15 pm[Panel] The Human Layer: Insider Risk, Behavioral Analytics, and the AI Threat MultiplierRegistration Level:
Open Sessions
1:15 pm - 1:50 pmPeople have always been the most targeted layer in any organization’s security posture—but AI is rewriting the rules of engagement. Sophisticated phishing campaigns now arrive personalized at scale, deepfake audio and video are eroding the credibility of internal communications, and MFA fatigue attacks are turning security controls against the users they were designed to protect. The threat surface hasn’t changed, but the speed, precision, and plausibility of attacks targeting it have.
At the same time, defenders are gaining new tools. Behavioral analytics and UEBA platforms are surfacing anomalies that static rules would miss, and AI-assisted policy frameworks are helping organizations govern workforce behavior—including how employees interact with AI tools themselves—without sacrificing productivity. This panel brings together practitioners navigating insider risk, identity-based threats, and the governance questions that arise when the line between human error and AI-augmented deception becomes increasingly hard to draw.

3:00 pm[Closing Keynote] Ask Us Anything! A Live Conversation with Security LeadersFocus Areas: Leadership, Decision Making, CommunicationRegistration Level:
Open Sessions
3:00 pm - 3:45 pmLocation / Room: Keynote TheaterIn an industry defined by constant change, some challenges have proven remarkably persistent. New technologies emerge, threat actors adapt, and the latest “revolution” captures headlines—but many of the core issues security leaders face today are the same ones they’ve been navigating for years.
This interactive closing keynote brings together a panel of experienced security leaders for a candid, audience-driven conversation about what hasn’t changed in cybersecurity. From managing risk and influencing the business to building trust, leading teams, and responding to inevitable incidents, the discussion will focus on the enduring lessons that remain relevant—regardless of the tools, platforms, or trends of the moment.
Attendees are encouraged to shape the conversation by asking live questions, sharing reflections, and sharing real-world scenarios. Whether the topic is AI, cloud, ransomware, or the next unknown disruption, this session offers perspective grounded in experience—and a reminder that while technology evolves, the fundamentals of security leadership remain surprisingly constant.
Join us for an honest conversation, shared learning, and a thoughtful end to the day before we continue the discussion at happy hour.
