🗣️ Topic One: The AI Shift in Cybersecurity: What Breaks, What Survives, What Wins

Cybersecurity is evolving into a new phase, characterized by a fundamental shift in operational methodologies rather than being driven by a specific tool or technology.

Join Mikhael Felker as he presents a comprehensive overview of AI's impact on cybersecurity functions and decision-making. Drawing from his extensive experience in both enterprise settings and innovative startups, he will navigate the rapid changes, persistent constants, and key focus areas for security leaders to maintain an edge.

The talk will delve into more than just AI tools; it will examine the transformation of essential functional areas, including:

• Vulnerability Management
• Offensive Security
• Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
• Security Operations
• Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)
• Hiring Practices

Attendees will walk away with actionable examples of how traditional workflows are being compressed, augmented, or replaced, while recognizing the continuing significance of human judgment, risk trade-offs, and organizational design.

This session is targeted towards security leaders and practitioners seeking a pragmatic perspective on preparing for the next wave of cybersecurity challenges and positioning their teams for future success.
