Agentic AI Application in Cyber
As artificial intelligence shifts from static models to autonomous agents, a new frontier is opening in cybersecurity operations. These “agentic” systems can reason, plan, and act across tools and APIs — enabling them to automate complex security tasks once reserved for human analysts. In this session, we’ll explore practical use cases where agentic AI enhances defensive capabilities: mapping and testing APIs, triaging vulnerabilities, automating policy validation, and correlating security signals across systems. You’ll see how agents can be designed to operate safely and transparently using emerging control frameworks like the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Through a live demonstration, we’ll show how an AI agent can autonomously perform API testing within defined security boundaries — revealing both the promise and the pitfalls of deploying autonomous intelligence in real-world environments.
Career Growth in Cyber Space
This will be a panel style discussion on sharing experiences from every panelist and their journey in cyber. Each panelist has a distinct background and will share their tips on breaking into cyber with perspectives on the wide variety of roles in the industry.
Cybersecurity Awareness & Training
Cyber awareness and education is critical for all levels, including executives. because cyber is dynamic.

In this talk, Anita will will provide methods used in awareness and training programs to reduce risks for your organization, keep you at the top of your game, and allow a proactive approach to cybersecurity.
Fireside chat - Investing in Early Stage Cyber
Jamil and Fayyaz both come with decades of experience in the cyber industry. Jamil serves as a VC and Fayyaz serves on numerous boards and an angel investor in cyber startups. Both will discuss their experiences and pro tips on the state of cyber investments and the business side of the industry.
Linux Cyber workshop - Hands On
Participants connect to a server hosting, themed challenge environments. Each server will focus on a specific topic such as Linux. Commands, Cryptography, or Windows PowerShell. Participants will use their own devices to access these servers and progress through a series of challenges that gradually increase in difficulty.
The Rising Tide of Executive Threats
The recent murder of the UnitedHealth CEO underscored a harsh truth that threats against executive leaders are immediate, multidimensional, and increasingly shaped by public sentiment online. In this session, Amyn Gilani, an NSA-trained intelligence leader who has built and led high-impact security programs, will outline a practical blueprint for building an effective modern executive security program. We'll examine the evolving threat environment facing senior leaders, the key data signals that reveal shifts in employee and consumer sentiment, and how to interpret those signals as early indicators of risk. The session will emphasize actionable techniques to reduce your executives digital footprint, mitigate targeting opportunities, and integrate intelligence, brand protection, and physical security into a cohesive program.
When the Breach Becomes a Bill
Every breach has two scars - The tech side and the business side. In this talk Sharmeen will walk through what the real bills look like after incidents. Which controls make the biggest difference, and why knowing this gives professionals a career edge.
