Top Five Cybersecurity Predictions for 2025

Has your organization jumped on the passwordless authentication bandwagon yet? If not, it should. Passwordless authentication embraces possession factors, such as certificates and hardware tokens, and inherence factors, such as fingerprints and face scans, to replace legacy password and single sign-on (SSO) authentication methods. It also strengthens your organization’s security posture while improving the user experience for accessing company applications and data. Join Steve Piper, Founder & CEO of CyberEdge (and proud CISSP), as he reviews modern passwordless authentication technologies and the benefits organizations have achieved by implementing them.

Passwordless Authentication: A New Reality or a Pipe Dream?

Security Industry 101: A ‘Crash Course’ For Security Newbies

Artificial intelligence (AI) has bolstered cybersecurity solutions across the board. Security teams have more ways to detect advanced threats than ever before, and organizations are much better equipped to measure and reduce their attack surfaces. However, AI also benefits cyber adversaries with improved phishing and spear phishing techniques and new methods for tricking unsuspecting victims using deepfake content spawned by generative AI. Join Steve Piper, Founder & CEO of CyberEdge (and proud CISSP), as he provides a comprehensive analysis of AI's dual role in both fortifying and challenging modern cyber defenses. Discover who's winning the AI arms race in cybersecurity.

Impact of AI on the Cybersecurity Industry: Who's Got the Upper Hand?

Compromising end user computing devices through spear phishing attacks is frequently cited as the initial step of advanced persistent threats, often leading to data breaches. Year after year, IT security professionals cite “low security awareness among employees” as a top inhibitor to IT security’s success in CyberEdge’s annual Cyberthreat Defense Report. So, why aren’t more security teams adequately addressing this challenge? Join Steve Piper, Founder & CEO of CyberEdge (and proud CISSP), as he details five ways to invest in your company’s human firewalls.

Five Smart Ways to Invest in Your Human Firewalls

Exploring Five Emerging Cybersecurity Defenses

It is difficult to go anywhere in the security profession these days without the topics of artificial intelligence (AI) and API Security coming up.  Like many popular topics, there is quite a bit of buzz and hype which creates quite a bit of fog around the topics. In particular, it can be difficult to understand when AI can add value.  How can we know when AI is being leveraged in a useful way to creatively solve problems? AI works best when applied to specific problems and needs to be carefully, strategically, and methodically leveraged in order to tackle certain problems that suit it.  While there are many such problems, API security is one such problem that I’ve experienced AI producing good results for. 

Join F5 and ISC2 April 11, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific for a session on applying AI to API Security. We'll also share 10 best practices around API Security that you won’t want to miss!
