CyberSmart 2026 - The Two Edges of AI's Sword

Cybersecurity is always a volatile topic – new threats, new approaches to defense, emerging new attack surfaces. The emergence of AI as a commercially viable technology introduces new considerations, including growing recognition that it substantially increases the need for risk management. 

Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss what is happening now, and what threats and opportunities may arise from current trends. 

Learning Objectives:

• Identify where new AI tools can reinforce existing cyber defenses
• Examine how to protect data privacy within an AI-enabled system
• Evaluate your software supply chain to determine how and where to implement zero trust requirements
• Delineate the elements of a universally applied ZT architecture, including identities, accounts, assets, resources, authentication, behavior, and data
• Review your agency’s operations to locate where OT is used and conduct risk assessments to determine corrective measures
