As AI adoption accelerates across industries, businesses face unprecedented challenges in securing their AI-driven transformations. In this exclusive fireside chat, Cisco EVP and Chief Product Officer Jeetu Patel and WWT Co-founder and CEO Jim Kavanaugh discuss the latest breakthroughs in AI security and how enterprises can more confidently innovate while safeguarding their AI applications. Jeetu and Jim will also explore the global landscape and its impact on the future of enterprise AI; provide practical guidance on how to craft an AI strategy that balances the need for speed with the necessity of caution; and talk about emerging AI solutions and how they can integrate into your IT strategy.

In this event, you will gain the knowledge and tools to identify, mitigate, and prevent security risks, strengthening the reliability and security of your AI systems. WWT's Prompt Injection and Training Data Poisoning labs help users understand and defend against two major LLM security threats. The Prompt Injection Lab demonstrates how attackers manipulate LLMs with deceptive inputs to extract sensitive data or execute unintended actions, while the Training Data Poisoning Lab explores how corrupting training or retrieval data can introduce biases , vulnerabilities, or backdoors.

Join us for the Virtual Lab Workshop! During this exclusive session, the host will introduce the Palo Alto NGFW Foundations Version 10 lab. This lab is designed designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the fundamental features of Palo Alto's NGFW solution. The environment that supports the lab is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure. This one-hour event is limited to 60 participants who will have the opportunity to engage in Q&A during the session. Attendees are encouraged to actively participate by launching the lab themselves alongside the host for a hands-on experience.

Join us for the Virtual Lab Workshop! During this exclusive session, the host will introduce the Cisco XDR Foundations. In this Live Lab event you will learn the basics about Cisco's XDR console and how to navigate through the many tools available to an analyst. Our Cisco XDR Foundations lab highlights the importance of having an XDR solution by showcasing the necessary tools an analyst will need to help your organization defend against cyber security threats.

Security threats against organizations are constantly evolving, and the emergence of AI is redefining the threat landscape. The sheer number of available security tools can make it difficult for organizations to choose the right ones while ensuring interoperability. To address this challenge, it is increasingly important to prioritize investment and select security tools that work seamlessly to close coverage gaps and maximize visibility. Join experts from WWT and Palo Alto Networks as they discuss the value of adopting a platform approach that focuses on integration, visibility, and real-time monitoring to simplify security operations. This session will provide an overview of Palo Alto's platform strategy and WWT's Security Tools Rationalization process to identify technology gaps and overlaps.

Today's CISOs and security teams have more tools than ever to implement. It's driving innovation, but also creating new levels of complexity — from a cost, visibility and agility perspectives — that are difficult to overcome. After years of over rotating on the number of tools and solutions being used, it's time for security leaders to get back to the basics. But how? Join WWT's Area Vice President of Cyber Chris Konrad as he delves deep into the benefits of consolidating cybersecurity platforms, from enhanced visibility and improved threat detection to cost savings and operational efficiency. Chris also tackles the challenges that come with consolidation and provides actionable mitigation strategies that can be a game-changer for your organization's cybersecurity posture.

APIs have become the backbone of modern digital interactions, connecting everything from morning coffee purchases to streaming services. But the rise of API-centric architectures has drastically expanded the attack surface -- over 90 percent of web-based cyberattacks are now targeting API endpoints, exploiting new vulnerabilities often overlooked by security teams – and rendered traditional security measures are no longer sufficient. Join F5 Field CTO Chuck Herrin and WWT's Head of Global Cyber Strategy Traci Byrne as they talk about the urgent need for more dynamic and comprehensive defense strategies to prevent breaches. Chuck and Traci detail how security teams can "shift left" to better address API risks and vulnerabilities and outline practical steps security leaders can take to bolster their defenses.

The rapid adoption of distributed workforce models has created a gap between IT and security when it comes to endpoints. In fact, a recent Ponemon Institute survey found half of today's enterprise endpoints are vulnerable to attack while more than a quarter of organizations lack visibility into what is happening at their endpoints. How can we get out of this mess?  Join WWT Executive Security Advisor John Aplin as he talks about the importance of taking a platform mentality when it comes to extended detection and response (XDR). John also discusses how XDR serves as a natural extension to EDR, helps draw the line between XDR marchitecture and reality, and identifies best practices he's seeing in the market today for moving toward an XDR approach.
