Secure Ideas | One Arrow, One Breach: The Medieval Mindset in Cyber Defense

In cybersecurity, the wisdom has often been likened to the defense strategies of medieval castles: every attack repelled. This talk, “One Arrow, One Breach,” challenges this notion, presenting a shift in approaching cybersecurity. Led by Kevin Johnson, this presentation delves into the antiquated belief that all attacks must be stopped to ensure security. Drawing parallels with medieval defense, Kevin argues for a strategic approach, emphasizing the importance of identifying and stopping the most critical threats rather than dispersing our resources across all points of attack.
Using real-world examples from his penetration testing experience, Kevin will demonstrate how this focused approach leads to more efficient use of resources and improved risk management. Attendees will gain insights into prioritizing threats and rethink their overall approach to cybersecurity.

Dito | Beyond LLMs: Cybersecurity in the Era of Agentic AI

Security in an Agentic World

The agentic era is here. Autonomous AI agents, from email copilots and compliance checkers to fully autonomous security operations triage bots, are quickly maturing and being deployed across the enterprise. The rapid evolution from predictive LLMs to goal- and action-oriented agents represents a fundamental shift, bringing both unprecedented operational efficiency and profound security challenges. Put simply, our traditional governance and security frameworks are critically lagging behind agent capability.

In this session, we will explore the security risks and opportunities of the agentic world and how agents, with their ability to use tools, access data, and act on behalf of users, create new attack surfaces and a class of “shadow automation” risk.

Contrast Security | Rebuild Your Software 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.

Semperis | Identity Systems Security: The Key to Business Resilience

Microsoft Active Directory (AD) is a primary target for cyberattackers, making AD defense and recovery non-negotiable practices for a secure and resilient business. Join Chris Ingle (Semperis Senior Solutions Architect) to discover how threat actors breach AD and Entra ID environments and why planning for hybrid AD security and recovery is vital to operational resilience. You’ll learn:

  • How to detect vulnerabilities in hybrid AD environments
  • The difficulty of executing an effective AD recovery plan
  • How to ensure a fast, clean AD forest recovery after a cyberattack

Proofpoint | Without Threat Intel, Security Awareness Training Is Just Teaching to the Test

Annual phishing and email safety training often rank alongside OSHA compliance and harassment training in terms of employee enthusiasm—and questionable impact. Too often, phishing simulations fail to meaningfully reduce human risk. By integrating real-world threat intelligence, however, organizations can ensure users train against active, relevant threats. This not only makes simulations more impactful but also provides awareness teams with actionable metrics to shape curriculum and measure genuine organizational risk.

Thales | Going Unnoticed Protecting Sensitive Data Accessed via APIs and LLMs

APIs and Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming digital operations but also expanding the attack surface for cyber threats. As organizations integrate AI and interconnected applications, risks such as data leakage, prompt injection, and model poisoning rise sharply. This session explores the evolving security landscape, highlighting real-world attack vectors and the OWASP threats to GenAI and APIs. It emphasizes a multi-layered defense strategy—combining API security, data protection, and AI threat mitigation—to prevent data breaches, protect sensitive information, and maintain trust in AI-driven systems.
