A view of advancing technology, regulatory changes and the evolving threat landscape and what we can carry forward from the past to plan for the future. Panel TBD.

Kate Brett Goldman, CEO and Founder, Cybermaniacs: In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, most organizations are prepared for technical cyber threats, but many overlook a critical vulnerability: human risk. This session will delve into the 9 hidden risk culture clash areas that could be undermining your cybersecurity efforts without you even realizing it. These cultural and psychological factors within your workforce—ranging from leadership dynamics to interdepartmental misalignments—represent the untracked risk vectors that pose a greater threat than most realize.

Through an engaging discussion, we’ll highlight how these human vulnerabilities, which often go unnamed, can expose your organization to cyber threats, social engineering, and internal sabotage. More importantly, we’ll explore practical strategies for identifying, measuring, and mitigating these risks, ensuring your organization can proactively address the human factor in its digital defenses.

Expect insights into:

• How organizational culture can fuel or thwart your cybersecurity efforts.
• Proven methods to assess and manage human vulnerabilities.
• Real-world case studies from top CISOs on turning these challenges into strengths.
• Get ready to uncover the unseen threats lurking within your own team—and learn how to defend against them!

Lintile will MC a game show with attendees. Much fun will ensue!

Mark Overholser, Technical Marketing Engineer, Corelight: 

Mark has been around the world, as a threat hunter in the Black Hat conference Network Operation Center, helping protect the Black Hat conference.

Region CISA Cybersecurity Advisor

Chris Roberts, Deepfake Cyber Strategist, WWT: 

Ever wondered how to pick an MSP/MSSP, How to identify AI/XAI/FUD/BS, What questions TO ask a vendor? How about how to hide the bodies? OR top 10 ways to get into InfoSec/GRC/Tech? This and a bunch more “Top 10’s” will be topic of conversation for the time on stage. Needless to say it’ll be full of images, cats, squirrels, and whatever else I can find on the Internet that doesn’t get me arrested. Expect a little blunt sarcasm, some useful take-aways and a LOT of Q&A!

All badge holders and families are welcome to attend our annual After Party. This year it will be held Saturday after closing ceremonies at The Last Picture House. There will be food and drinks, movies and a hacker game show on the rooftop! This party is honoring the spirit of Bill Murray, he probably will not attend.
