How to Limit Risk and Exposure from Agentic AI
As agentic AI transitions from experimental technology to embedded workplace reality, organizations face an unprecedented expansion of their attack surface. This conversation examines the critical inflection point we've reached—where coding assistants, browser-integrated agents, and autonomous systems with persistent execution loops are becoming standard tools, accessible even to non-developers. Join Pascal Geenens, VP of Cyber Threat Intelligence at Radware, and Simon Ratcliffe, Independent Management & Technology Consultant, for a compelling 30-minute fireside chat exploring the emerging security challenges posed by autonomous AI agents in 2026. Pascal and Simon will navigate essential dimensions of this evolving landscape. They'll contextualize the fundamental shift occurring in 2026, including the "Bring Your Own Agent" phenomenon where autonomous agents are now integrated directly into operating systems and corporate workflows. They'll dissect the real-world threat vectors that security teams must address—from indirect prompt injection attacks and software supply chain compromises to the architectural trade-offs between cloud-based frontier models and self-hosted alternatives. Pascal will provide actionable guidance on risk mitigation strategies, exploring visibility frameworks, artifact proxies, LLM firewalls, and why intent-based protection models are essential when traditional content filters fall short. Whether you're a security professional, technology leader, or risk manager, this session offers critical insights into protecting your organization as AI agents become autonomous actors within your infrastructure.

Awareness Alone Fails: Transform Security Habits Across SaaS Environments
Attackers exploit established routines and workflows, making traditional training ineffective. Human error is magnified in hybrid environments. The SaaS footprint keeps expanding, access paths keep shifting, and oversight becomes uneven. This drives up fraud losses, data exposure, operational downtime, and regulatory risk. Ultimately, customer trust, employee confidence and your security team's credibility are on the line. Leaders need to make the secure path the path of least resistance by embedding clear guidance and guardrails into daily workflows and tools. This session examines how organizations can move past compliance-focused training and implement a human-centered security strategy by identifying risky behaviors, reducing security friction, and building controls that employees naturally embrace. Fatema Fardan, Cybersecurity Digital Data Lead at a leading international bank, draws on lessons from banking, fraud prevention, and cybersecurity operations to show practical ways to measure behavior change, design effective security nudges and balance user experience with risk in today’s hybrid workplace. Topics for discussion include: - Pinpoint why awareness programs fall short and map risky behaviors across your environment. - Design controls employees actually use, from adaptive MFA to real-time guidance at critical decision points. - Counter phishing and fraud by integrating training, simulations, and behavioral nudges linked to identity signals. - Track what drives impact: reporting rates, time-to-report, reduction in repeat clicks, control adoption, and measurable ROI. - Establish a cross-functional operating model using pilots, A/B testing and leadership dashboards.

Weakest Link: How Security Gaps and Bad AI Hygiene Can Kill a Business
AI is already in your business, whether you rolled it out or not. Someone on your team pasted a contract into a chatbot this week, connected an AI assistant to their inbox, or signed up for a new tool with a work email, and every one of those moves opened a new door into your environment. In this session, John Hansman, CEO of Truit, a managed IT, cybersecurity and AI consulting firm, walks leaders through the security gaps and bad AI habits he sees most often in real organizations: free tools that keep or train on what employees type, shared and orphaned logins, sensitive data pasted into public AI, and AI agents wired into business systems with no owner and no oversight. He'll show how these small gaps chain together into a business-ending incident, and why adopting AI without a plan means adopting risk without a plan. Attendees will leave with: - A vendor-neutral, three-step framework (see it, secure it, strategize it) for finding the AI already in use. - Setting guardrails such as a short-written AI policy, an approved-tools list and clear data-handling rules. - Building a prioritized roadmap with an owner for every use case, so AI becomes an advantage instead of the weakest link. Meet the Speaker John Hansman is CEO of Truit, a family-owned managed IT, cybersecurity, and AI consulting company with offices in Tumwater and Spokane, Washington. He spent the first 20 years of his career in the electronic security industry, rising from entry-level technician to Central Station Manager and later IT Project Manager for a major corporation. He now helps organizations strengthen their cybersecurity, protect their data, and put AI to work safely. A frequent speaker for chambers of commerce and industry groups, including the Thurston County Chamber and the Washington Trucking Association, John turns complex cybersecurity and AI topics into practical steps business leaders can act on immediately.

Preparing for the 2027 Threatscape: A New Strategy for Operational Resilience
The speed of geopolitical risk continues to increase, not least in the differing approaches to the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Governments are now warning that it is "likely, if not inevitable" that national cyber defenses will at some point be breached. Among this growing spread of challenges, any new strategy must take account of the current level of operational risk. So ask yourself this question: do you do nothing, or do you move your organizational strategy towards planning for the worst? Join Steve Yates, Chairman of the Resilience Association and Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists, to explore lessons learned from past events and how you should position your organization to be sufficiently prepared for "business-as-unusual". Key Takeaways: - Identify 2027 threat landscape challenges. - Review the changing direction of operational risk. - Update operational readiness and response strategy. - Change leadership thinking about operational resilience. - Establish a joined-up way of thinking with internal and external partners.

Open Source + AI: Where Attackers Move Next in 2027
Supply chain and AI security failures share a common thread. Adversaries identify structural gaps, assess potential impact, and act before defenders can respond. In 2026, this approach drove major incidents across open source, AI tooling, build pipelines, and interconnected vendor environments. However, attackers do not rely on static tactics. Their methods adapt faster than most organizations can adjust their defenses. Industy thought leader Yesenia Yser moves the conversation from retrospective analysis to forward-looking action. Using threat patterns, attacker behaviors, and governance breakdowns from 2026, she argues for anticipatory defense. The goal? To understand adversary strategy deeply enough to close architectural gaps before attackers exploit them, not after the damage is done. For 2027, Yesenia will identify the threat vectors set to define risk across open-source software, AI systems, and supply chains. The session will turn the hard lessons of 2026 into actionable foresight. Expect clear guidance on where advanced attackers are likely to strike next, which structural weaknesses enable those moves, and what defensive architectures can close the most critical gaps.

Surviving the CRA: What Zephyr 26.04 LTS from Canonical means for your device roadmap
The EU Cyber Resilience Act is here, and it changes what "shipping a device" means. Manufacturers now have to prove they can patch, maintain and report on security issues for years after a product ships. For a lot of teams building on Zephyr, that raises a hard question: how do you actually plan for a 10 to 15 year support window? Join Jonathan Beri (Canonical, Head of Product for IoT, and founder of Golioth) and Chris Rommel (EVP, VDC Strategy) for a practical look at what's changing, what the market is telling us, and how Zephyr 26.04 LTS fits into a real compliance strategy. What we'll cover - What the CRA actually requires, and where the deadlines and gray areas are - What VDC Strategy’ research shows about how device makers are (and aren't) preparing - How the new Zephyr offer from Canonical with extended LTS period changes the lifecycle math for MCU-class devices - Where OTA updates and device management fit into CRA field-update requirements - Practical steps to start architecting for a longer support window now Who should attend Firmware and product teams building on Zephyr or considering Zephyr, engineering leads planning device roadmaps, and anyone responsible for security compliance on connected hardware. Speakers Jonathan Beri — Head of Product, IoT at Canonical, and founder of Golioth. Jonathan has spent years building IoT infrastructure and firmware tooling, and now leads Canonical's vision to bring long-term support to the microcontroller ecosystem. Chris Rommel — EVP, Edge AI & Industrial Technology at VDC Strategy, where he leads syndicated research and consulting on development and deployment solutions for intelligent systems.

Episode 5: 47-Day Certificates: Choosing the Right Public and Private PKI Strategy
The shift toward 47-day publicly trusted TLS certificates is increasing renewal frequency and forcing organizations to take a closer look at how certificates are being used across their environments. But not every use case requires public trust, and choosing the wrong trust model can create unnecessary cost, operational burden, or governance challenges. In this episode, we’ll explore how organizations can evaluate which applications and services require publicly trusted certificates and which internal users, devices, workloads, and machine identities may be better supported through private PKI. We’ll discuss the practical considerations behind public and private trust decisions, including ecosystem requirements, policy control, automation, ownership, and operational scale. Attendees will leave with a clearer framework for aligning certificate use cases to the appropriate trust model and managing public and private certificate environments as part of a connected PKI and certificate lifecycle strategy.
