Go in depth into CSA's latest research on everything from IoT to containers to blockchain. Webcasts will break down the research, provide use cases, instructions for implementation, and further insights.

As organizations realize security and operational benefits of protecting users with zero trust principles, they are also achieving value for extended environments like office branches, factories, data centers, and clouds. This session will demonstrate how they adopt and operationalize these locations by extending their zero trust architecture to branch offices, cloud workloads, and OT/IoT devices.

Top Cloud Threats within AI Security

Identity security has traditionally been viewed as a critical yet limiting layer of defense—a necessary barrier against evolving cyber threats. But what if identity management could become more than a defensive perimeter? In this session, we'll explore how forward-thinking enterprises are leveraging non-human identities, as a catalyst for innovation, agility, and business acceleration. Join us to discover:
• How proactive identity strategies enable rapid adoption of emerging technologies, from generative AI to automated DevOps.
• Real-world examples where robust management of non-human identities empowered organizations to launch new services and solutions confidently and securely.
• Practical guidance on shifting your organization's perspective from seeing identity security solely as a risk mitigation tactic to embracing it as a strategic enabler of growth and innovation.
• Turn identity security into your organization's competitive advantage.

From Barrier to Catalyst: Transforming Identity Security into an Engine of Innovation

As businesses rapidly adopt cloud and SaaS technologies, the traditional model of centralized IT control has given way to business-led technology decisions. Rather than fighting this shift, forward-thinking security teams are embracing it by implementing unified visibility and intelligence across their expanding digital ecosystem. This session explores how modern access security and data-driven governance enables organizations to support business-driven innovation while maintaining security control.

Beyond Shadow IT: Enabling Business Innovation Through Unified Access Intelligence

Cloud security teams are inundated with alerts, making it difficult to prioritize what matters most and resolve issues efficiently. While this isn’t a new problem, understanding the scope and scale of the challenge is key to finding solutions. To dive deeper, we analyzed 3,960,090 alerts from our proprietary data to break down the problem at scale. In this session, we’ll reveal the most common misconfigurations and explore the factors behind dangerously long dwell times and high MTTR, some stretching up to 498 days and 285 days, respectively. What’s adding to the complexity? Inconsistent severity ratings across different tools, making prioritization even harder. But it’s not all doom and gloom. We’ll highlight quick wins you can implement today, along with key alert types to prioritize for faster triage and risk reduction. By the end of this session, you’ll learn from our expert services team how they tackle these problems at scale every day, and you’ll take away your data-backed strategies to cut through the noise, tackle high-risk misconfigurations, and improve your cloud security posture.

From Alert to Remediation: Millions of Alerts Analyzed to Shape Your Strategy

Many people still view AI as primarily Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, posing business risks through employee interaction. However, AI now includes various types of language models, productivity platforms like Co-Pilot, and Agentic AI that trains "robots" to perform technical tasks.

These AI agents, driven by specialized language models, operate autonomously and raise cyber risk by using non-human accounts for data access and workflow integration. Despite these risks, they offer benefits in vulnerability management, security operations, and automatic remediation.

Join Illena Armstrong, President of CSA and Rick Dotan, CISO at Carolina Complete Health, as they explore the risks and benefits, current organizational uses, and future developments of this ever evolving technology.

The Risks and Benefits of AgenticAI to Cybersecurity and Your Organization

The integration of Agentic AI and advanced machine learning (ML) in the financial services sector is redefining defensive security practices, enabling organizations to strengthen their ability to respond to cyber threats and ensure regulatory compliance. Agentic AI, with its autonomous decision-making capabilities, combined with ML-driven techniques, is enhancing incident response, policy enforcement, and security operations through automation and real-time adaptation. This abstract explores how Agentic AI and advanced ML are transforming key areas of defensive security, including incident response, playbooks, code reviews, and the creation of security architecture blueprints. These AI-powered solutions facilitate the automation of security processes, such as policy-as-code implementation and the development of configuration baselines that ensure consistency and resilience across complex IT environments. Furthermore, Agentic AI enables dynamic risk assessments by continuously analyzing potential vulnerabilities and suggesting mitigations. By embedding AI and ML into these critical security domains, financial institutions can enhance their proactive defense posture and reduce human error in security operations. The paper also discusses the ethical considerations, regulatory challenges, and best practices for integrating Agentic AI into security frameworks, underscoring its role in creating a more agile, secure, and resilient financial services ecosystem.
