AI Beyond Prompts: Agentic AI for Cloud Security

This talk goes below the prompt into the logs — what Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes record when an agent, not a human, acts. Anchored on a real July 2026 intrusion, we pull each platform’s own logs and find the same shape of logs that ground our investigations.

SANS DC Metro September 2026 - SANS@Night: The Anatomy of AI Agents for Infosec Professionals

Join us for an exciting, hands-on exploration where we transform a humble chat completion script into a sophisticated, fully agentic AI system, all through a series of live, iterative demonstrations.

The Invisible Clock: Securing OT Assets Against the Quantum Computing Revolution

This session unpacks how those forces are reshaping OT security in practice, and why post-quantum resilience is a programme to start now rather than a problem to schedule later. OT assets have refresh cycles measured in decades, which means the cryptographic decisions made this year will still be live when quantum capability arrives.

AI Threats to OT and ICS Security: How Industrial Organizations Are Detecting, Defending Against, and Adopting AI in Operational Technology Environments

AI transformed business and IT security. Now it's crossing into OT, bringing the same efficiency gains, the same defensive potential, and the same adversarial capabilities into environments that were never designed to absorb them.

Building Security Culture at Southwest Airlines

The role of the security awareness professional is shifting. It's no longer enough to educate people on security, the real work is learning to understand people, and using that understanding to change how they think and behave.

Cybersecurity Standards Scorecard (2026 Edition)

Make sense of the 2026 cybersecurity standards landscape. Join Senior Instructor James Tarala for a research-based scorecard comparison of popular frameworks and learn how to use a Cyber Rosetta Stone to simplify control selection and prioritization.
