FRSecure | AI’s Influence on Cybersecurity and How to Prepare
We’ll explore how AI is reshaping cybersecurity—both as a threat and a defense tool. This isn’t just a technical issue; it’s a strategic governance challenge. Boards and executives must understand the risks, opportunities, and oversight responsibilities that come with AI’s growing influence.

Contrast Security | Rebuild Your Security Program from the Breach Up

Current security models are failing to keep up with the speed, complexity, and scale of modern software. Security professionals are doing their jobs—and yet, attacks still get through.
In this session, hear the story of four people caught in the aftermath of a breach: a developer, a SecOps lead, an AppSec engineer, and a compliance officer. All working in good faith. All stuck in a broken system.

This talk will introduce a new blueprint for modern software defense, modeled on the smartest of cities that have instrumented infrastructure to see, adapt, and respond in real time. Walk away with a prescriptive framework – based on context, coordination, and culture – that teams can use to stop guessing and start defending.

Sophos | How to Get Away with Cybercrime

We often talk about threats in terms of dollars lost, data stolen, or headlines made. But the real threat lives deeper—in the structure, the strategy, and the growing ambition of the actors behind the screen. Today’s cybercriminals don’t just encrypt files; they build economies, launder, influence, and forge alliances that stretch across borders and industries. In this talk, we’ll peel back the layers of modern cybercrime and explore how loosely affiliated hackers have evolved into organized syndicates. These groups operate more like multinational corporations than rogue disruptors—complete with HR departments, recruitment pipelines, insider relationships, and state protections.

IP Pathways | From Spam to Sophistication: How Email Threats Evolved with Phishing-as-a-Service

Since the mid-1990s, phishing has evolved into a foundational attack method and remains one of the most common cybersecurity threats organizations face today. It’s also become a key focus of employee training programs across industries. In this session, we’ll explore the history of email security, trace how phishing techniques have adapted over time, and take a closer look at the emerging threat of Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS)—a new, scalable model that’s lowering the barrier to entry for cybercriminals.

Nexum | SCUBA, Information Security, and Probably AI
We all know security is more so in the spotlight than ever before, but the question becomes what do you need to secure? Without visibility into your environment, you cannot possibly understand the attack surface that needs to be secured.
