Make Your Business a Hard Target for Cybercriminals
ECE-02
Chief Product Officer Threatlocker
When it comes to potential targets for cyberattacks, easier to breach means more likely to fall victim. While you might not be able to influence your perceived value, there are changes that can eliminate your organization from being seen as an easy target. We’ll explore practical tactics to reduce your surface area of attack and controls to prevent lateral movement should a breach occur.

Keynote Presentation by Ignite Tech: AI: The Future Is in Your Hands—Or Is It?
K-01
Eric Vaughan CEO IgniteTech
We’ve been handed an extraordinary gift. The question isn’t whether to use AI anymore; if you’re still asking that, you’re about to get run over from behind. The real question is what you’re doing with it. Too many organizations are running AI projects that look impressive in board decks but accomplish nothing. They’re entertaining themselves with experiments while competitors are erasing them from the map. A different breed of company is rewriting entire industries in months, not years. They’re not coming for your market share, they’re making your entire business model obsolete. The pace of change has become almost incomprehensible. Developers are now building in hours what took teams weeks or months just a year ago. Hyper-coding tools are turning software engineering into something closer to orchestration. Companies that don’t grasp this aren’t just falling behind, they’re becoming irrelevant in real time. At IgniteTech, we decided we weren’t going to squander this moment. In the past year, we’ve launched MyPersonas to clone human expertise and Eloquens to handle email with genuine intelligence. But we’re not stopping there. During this keynote, I’ll announce our third brand-new product built from scratch that leverages AI to fundamentally change something that everyone does almost every day. This isn’t about incremental improvement. It’s about moving mountains. Changing lives. Taking the gift we’ve been given and doing something that actually matters with it. The future is in your hands. The only question is whether you’ll seize it or watch it slip through your fingers while someone else changes the world.

Keynotes & Cocktails Presentation: Real-World Consequences of Cybercrime - WARNING Audience Discretion Advised
K-02
Reese Bess Founder, President, Threat Researcher AP2T Labs
Jesse Tuttle Co-founder, Chief Hacking Officer, Threat Specialist AP2T Labs
Cybercrime is no longer just a technical problem, a financial risk, or a line item on a balance sheet. It is a human crisis. Behind every breached account, every stolen identity, and every successful scam is a real person and, increasingly, a devastating chain of harm that does not stop at financial loss. In this keynote, Reese Tuttle, cyber threat researcher and founder of AP2T Labs, and Jesse Tuttle, aka Hackah Jak, a former world’s most-wanted hacker and now an ethical threat actor, expose the realities of modern cybercrime that most organizations never see, and which many are not prepared to confront. Today’s attacks are not isolated events; they are multi-stage operations fueled by data leaks, social engineering, psychological manipulation, and dark-market ecosystems that monetize human vulnerability at scale. The consequences ripple outward: Families financially ruined, victims pushed into despair, and criminal profits quietly funding organized exploitation and human suffering far beyond the screen. Drawing from real cases and firsthand experience, this keynote reveals the unspoken truths that will challenge the way you view cybersecurity. This keynote is intended for anyone who influences security strategy, training, leadership decisions, or the way we communicate risk to others, because stopping cybercrime is no longer just about protecting systems – it is about protecting people and, in many cases, saving lives. WARNING Audience Discretion Advised: This keynote contains disturbing real-world subject matter, including psychological manipulation, exploitation, and the severe human consequences of cybercrime. Content may be emotionally intense and is intended for mature audiences.

Beyond Agent Fatigue: Architecting a Context-Rich Security Data Strategy
ECE-07
CEO & Co-founder Mesh Security VP of Channel Sales Silversky CEO Sedara
The greatest barrier to efficient detection is often not a lack of data, but a crippling degree of agent sprawl and fragmented telemetry. Security teams are drowning in low-context alerts and facing severe agent fatigue from disparate EDR, NDR, and log sources. This session moves past simple collection to focus on strategic security architecture, considering the core debate: Full consolidation via a unified XDR platform vs. a federated, best-of-breed approach leveraged through a modern SIEM or data lake. Panelists will share practical guidance for success strategies that refine signal-to-noise ratio, reduce operational sprawl, enhance threat context, and maximize the demonstrable value of security technology investments.

AI for Defense: What Actually Works
ECE-08
Principal J Arnold & Associates Solutions Architect Threatlocker Founder Ambertone Solutions Chief Sales Officer ArmorPoint
AI is the future of the SOC but, for many, it's just another source of noise and complexity. Security leaders must move beyond the hype to pinpoint where AI delivers measurable, reliable gains. This session cuts through unproven claims to analyze where automated detections and investigation assist genuinely accelerate workflows, and where they introduce unacceptable risk. This expert panel will offer candid guidance on implementing necessary guardrails for accuracy, privacy, and accountability, and consider practical operational issues like validating model drift, defining actionable metrics, and establishing effective human-in-the-loop design to ensure AI enhances, not hinders, the human analyst.

Phishing Defense: Stop Advanced Phishing Attacks That Bypass Your Stack
ECE-09
VP Women in Cybersecurity
Most organizations, including both enterprises and MSPs, have deployed robust Secure Email Gateways (SEGs) and Secure Web Gateways (SWGs), yet they and their clients continue to fall victim to credential theft and business email compromise. Why? Because the threat landscape has shifted from malicious attachments to sophisticated Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) attacks that bypass URL filters and MFA completely. This session dissects the anatomy of these modern bypass techniques and introduces the missing layer of defense needed to secure the "last mile"—the browser itself—ensuring your clients remain protected even when the gateway is evaded.

Cyber-First, Business-Forward: A New Playbook for the Modern Executive
ECE-11
Group Editorial Director TMC Founder Minerva Tech Group
Today’s biggest risk isn't just a data breach; it’s the inability to move fast. When security is an afterthought, it acts as a digital handbrake on innovation. This session reframes cybersecurity as a business accelerant, exploring how cyber-first thinking allows organizations to enter new markets more quickly, build deeper relationships and customer trust, and outmaneuver less-resilient competitors. Moving beyond "bits and bytes," this conversation focuses on risk-informed decision-making; how to integrate cyber-thinking into your business priorities and due diligence, your supply chain management, and your digital transformation initiatives; and why moving security out of the server room and into the strategy room will unlock true business velocity driven by build a culture where every employee takes ownership of the company’s bottom-line resilience.

The S&P 50 Web Vulnerability Report: A Quantitative Analysis of High-Value Target Attack Surfaces
ECE-13
Security Consultant MSP Pentesting
While large enterprises spend millions on cybersecurity, they are often plagued by the same basic web misconfigurations that impact small businesses. This session presents the findings of a massive metadata research project: a non-intrusive scan and fingerprinting of the world's 50 largest companies (the S&P 50). Using industry-standard discovery tools like Nikto, OpenVAS, and WhatWeb, this study identifies the most prevalent vulnerabilities currently exposed on the public internet by these high-value targets. Attendees will go under the hood of "Hacker Analytics" to understand how attackers use automated fingerprinting to map a corporate attack surface in minutes. The presentation will categorize common failures—from missing security headers and outdated server banners to exposed staging environments and API leaks—and show the statistical likelihood of these flaws existing even in heavily regulated sectors. Attendees will leave with an understanding of point of failure, as well as ways to fix them.
