Cyberattacks are no longer limited to sophisticated nation-state actors. AI has lowered the barrier to entry so dramatically that nearly any organization can become a target. When an attack comes, the real test is not whether a tool generates an alert; it is whether your security program is built to prevent, withstand, and recover from the attack.

In this session, we explore why the traditional detect-and-respond model is falling short for organizations of every size, and what a modern, proactive security program looks like in practice—from governance and identity to resilience, response, and continuous improvement.

Join Tony Scribner, Connor Jackson, and Brian Zimmer as they cover:

  • How threat actors operate at machine speed
  • Why more tools aren't the answer
  • How continuous testing is the new baseline for resilient organizations

You'll leave with a clear framework for evaluating your current posture—and concrete steps to close the gaps before someone else finds them.

Attendees are eligible for 1 CPE credit.
