🔒 RSA Conference 2026 made clear that AI dominated every conversation, reframing priorities for CISOs and security teams. Sessions and hallway discussions emphasized securing the AI stack, managing rampant shadow AI usage, and governing machine or non-human identities. Speakers warned that AI accelerates both attacks and defensive response, while capital and workforce dynamics are shifting rapidly.

🎥 RSAC 2026 concluded with AI agents taking center stage across sessions and discussions. ESET Chief Security Evangelist Tony Anscombe, on the ground for the conference, highlights that AI was discussed both as a strong defensive capability and, more urgently, as a growing risk many organizations have not yet fully addressed. Watch the video for concise, practical takeaways from the event, where ESET delivered a record six presentations.

🛡️ This webinar, Exposure-Driven Resilience, demonstrates how teams can move from assumptions to evidence by automating tests that emulate real attacker behavior. The session explains how to pressure-test both technical controls and operational processes, use threat intelligence to prioritize what to test, and fold results into everyday SOC and incident response workflows without added complexity. Presenters Jermain Njemanze and Sébastien Miguel provide a practical walkthrough and a live demonstration to show how to prove defenses actually work.

🔒 Security leaders face a growing threat from harvest now, decrypt later attacks as quantum computing progresses. A webinar will outline practical steps—identify long-term sensitive data, map encryption use, and adopt hybrid cryptography such as ML-KEM alongside existing algorithms—to begin transitioning without operational disruption. The session also covers post-quantum traffic inspection and Zero Trust integration to maintain policy enforcement at scale.

🔐 RSA 2026 will spotlight how AI agents, CTEM, cyber resilience, identity, and AI security are reshaping CISO agendas. Expect demonstrations of AI-SOC capabilities, expanded CTEM platforms, and renewed emphasis on identity as the perimeter, alongside warnings about hallucinations, data quality, and vendor overreach. Arrive prepared with prioritized requirements, cleaned data, and a plan to upskill teams for effective human–agent teaming.

📣 The Voice of the Customer track highlights customer-led sessions focused on real-world operational challenges in security and networking. Speakers from industries such as retail, media, healthcare, and industrial operations share practical decisions, trade-offs, and outcomes using approaches like unified SASE, secure SD-WAN, cloud security, and automation. Emphasis is on results—policy consistency, improved visibility, faster incident response, and operational scalability—rather than idealized architectures.

🔐 At the Munich Cybersecurity Conference (MCSC) 2026, representatives from the White House, FBI, Europol, OECD, BSI, BND, the European Commission and Japan's National Cybersecurity Office convened to discuss the rising global cyber threat environment. Speakers emphasized the need for stronger public-private cooperation and the industrialization of cybersecurity to better protect critical digital infrastructure. Panelists warned that geopolitical tensions - notably involving North Korea, China and Russia - and transnational cybercrime demand coordinated international responses.

🔍 This webinar examines how modern cloud forensics replaces slow, manual log stitching with automated, context-aware investigation across transient infrastructure. You’ll learn why traditional incident response fails when compromised instances, rotating identities, and expiring logs erase evidence, and why three capabilities — host-level visibility, context mapping, and automated evidence capture — are essential. The session demonstrates real investigations where correlated signals rebuild full attack timelines in minutes, enabling faster scoping, clearer attribution, and more confident remediation.
