Identity has become the primary attack surface, and artificial intelligence is accelerating both the speed and scale of cyber threats. In this session, attendees will explore how cybercriminals are actively using AI-enabled techniques to bypass identity and authentication controls in real-world environments today. The focus is on enterprise access, IAM, and remote workforce risk—not theory or future speculation.
Using real attack examples and high-profile incidents, the session breaks down how attackers combine AI with proven tradecraft to defeat controls many organizations still rely on. From AI-assisted phishing and social engineering to identity verification and remote access abuse, attendees will see where trust breaks down—and leave with a practical, prioritized checklist of identity, access, and detection controls financial institutions can act on immediately.

Spreadsheets got you this far, but they weren’t built to run your information security program (ISP). When IT risk assessments, business continuity management, and vendor management are handled in isolation, it becomes difficult to see how risk connects across your organization. In this Cyber Showcase, we’ll show how to move from disconnected spreadsheets to a fully integrated approach using TRAC. You’ll see how aligning these core components creates a more efficient process, a clearer view of risk, and a stronger overall program. Your ISP should be more than organized. It should be unified.

Don't wait for another security breach—stay ahead of cyberattackers by thinking like them. Today's threats require more than strong defenses. You must anticipate how adversaries operate. This webinar will teach you to move beyond reacting to incidents by adopting an offensive approach that identifies vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. You'll learn how purple teaming encourages collaboration between defense and offense and how transitioning toward red teaming uncovers hidden risks and strengthens your security. By the end of the session, you'll learn practical steps to predict attacks, address security gaps, and achieve lasting resilience.
In this special Hacker Hour, former NFL captain Chad Greenway shares lessons from years of leading inside demanding, high‑pressure team environments, where trust, accountability, and communication determined who won and who didn’t. Chad connects what it takes to earn respect in the locker room to what it takes to lead effectively within an organization, especially when you’re expected to influence people who don’t speak the same business language. For cybersecurity leaders who want to lead more effectively up and down the organization, build credibility with decision‑makers, and connect their work to what the business truly cares about, this conversation will resonate.
Join us for the special Hacker Hour focused on leadership up and down the organization, and take your leadership game to the next level.SBS Speaker: Jon Waldman
Generative AI models are no longer just answering questions or summarizing documents — they’re collaborating, coding, and shaping decisions in real time. From tools like Claude Cowork and Claude Code to reasoning-driven models and the latest evolution of ChatGPT, we've entered a new phase where AI behaves less like a tool and more like a teammate.
In this webinar, we’ll break down what's changing inside modern AI models and why it matters to security, risk, and leadership teams. We'll also explore how organizations should think differently about governance, oversight, and safe adoption. Think of this session as a preview of what's ahead for AI‑enabled work — fast‑paced, practical, and grounded in real-world implications.
