N2K brings together industry leaders and innovators to explore emerging trends, breakthrough technologies, and new products shaping the future of cybersecurity. Designed for practitioners and leaders alike, these sessions deliver actionable insights and strategic intelligence to help you stay informed and ahead of change. As part of N2K’s mission to connect the cybersecurity ecosystem, these discussions support growth, learning, and informed decision-making across the industry.

These live and on-demand webinars focus on cybersecurity insights, innovation, and expertise.

AI agents now read sensitive data, execute actions, and chain workflows across cloud and on-prem environments, often with static or over-privileged credentials that expand blast radius and erase visibility.

In this session, Barak Shelef, Chief Architect Officer at Oasis Security, will unpack why traditional identity models weren’t built for AI agents and outline what a modern solution requires:

- Ephemeral per-task identities to shrink blast radius and enforce least privilege for every agent action.
- Transparent, auditable approvals to give asset owners control without slowing teams down.
- End-to-end audit across agent chains to deliver full accountability (who asked what, when, and why) accelerating incident response and meeting compliance needs.

Barak will then show how agentic access management operationalizes these principles to give security teams precision and measurable guardrails, without slowing innovation.

Power Your Agentic Access. Own Your Non-Human Identities.

Agentic AI is opening new possibilities — and raising new questions — for Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). As organizations experiment with AI-driven agents, the path forward is full of both opportunities and challenges. How can we harness AI responsibly, avoid common pitfalls, and prepare for a future where GRC is increasingly AI-powered?

In this webinar, we’ll share real-world experiences, insights, and a forward-looking perspective on how AI is reshaping GRC. Whether you’re just beginning to explore AI or already testing use cases, this session will help you understand what’s working, what to watch out for, and what’s ahead.

What we’ll cover:
- Early learnings and challenges from applying agentic AI in GRC
- Firsthand experiences with AI-driven agents in compliance workflows
- Common pitfalls and risks to be aware of when using AI
- The future of GRC in an AI-driven world and where the opportunities lie
- Hyperproof’s vision for AI in GRC and how we’re partnering with customers and leading organizations to shape the future together

Speakers: 
- Kayne McGladrey, CISO in Residence, Hyperproof
- Alam Ali, SVP Product Management, Hyperproof
- Matthew Cassidy, Partner, Risk Advisory, Grant Thornton Advisors LLC

Join us for an engaging conversation about the future of AI in compliance and what it means for your organization.

DFIR blind spot – what security leaders are missing in their IR plans

According to last year's Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report, web applications are among the top three attack vectors for threat actors, and there seems to be no sign of this changing in 2025. Web applications continue to be a prime target due to their widespread use, the valuable data they often contain and further knock-on-effects that such attacks and breaches might have both in terms of financial as well as reputational damages. As cyber threats evolve, organizations have to constantly reevaluate their strategies and countermeasures in order to stay ahead and enhance their application security posture.

In this webinar, Laura Enríquez, Product Manager Application Security at Outpost24, along with a member of the Outpost24 "Ghostlabs" team, will delve into the current web application security landscape. They will discuss the challenges and threats that cybersecurity experts face today, including vulnerabilities and attack vectors that are in use today. The panel will also share practical tips, tricks, and strategies to help organizations detect possible cracks in their web application cyber defense.

Attendees will gain insights into:
- Why web applications remain a top target for cybercriminals
- How are current trends impacting the application Security Landscape?
- How to reduce the effort of identification and prioritization of critical vulnerabilities
- What strategic and operational changes can be made to improve we application security

Whether you're dealing with time constraints, budget limitations, or the need for greater internal support, this webinar will provide valuable guidance to enhance your web application security in 2025.

Our guests: 
- Laura Enríquez, Product Manager Application Security at Outpost24

Breaking Through: Securing the advancement of women in cybersecurity

They say insanity is repeating the same act over and over again and expecting different results. And yet, we see organizations repeating the same hiring and training practices to produce the skilled cybersecurity talent that is still, allegedly, in short supply. 

In this webinar series, we’re not just telling you about better ways to go about your cybersecurity talent development strategy; we’re showing you how to do it, and with real case studies to prove it, using strategic cyber workforce intelligence.

To kick us off, we're introducing workforce intelligence. Just as you regularly evaluate and upgrade technology to improve performance and create efficiency, the same approach must be applied to your people. Learn what workforce intelligence is and how it can optimize your cyber talent development strategy.
