This webinar provides a balanced view of AI’s dual role in cybersecurity, showcasing both the opportunities and challenges it presents. Gain insights into how IT security teams can adopt AI to stay ahead, while understanding how adversaries may use it to their advantage. With expert commentary and real-world examples, this session equips attendees with the knowledge to navigate AI’s impact on the evolving threat landscape.

From Shield to Spear: How AI is Reshaping Cyber Defense and Offense

The Center is partnering with Mind Over Cyber to present a timely webinar on Thursday, September 5 at 12 PM ET focused on building resilience against burnout through mindfulness. 
 
Too often, meditation is dismissed in cybersecurity as impractical—something that requires perfect conditions and large blocks of time. But professionals don’t operate in ideal circumstances; they respond in real time. 
 
This session will dispel the myths around meditation and demonstrate how simple, science-backed techniques can fit seamlessly into the workday. Attendees will discover how mindfulness can regulate stress, strengthen focus and memory and provide the mental space to respond with clarity and intention rather than reacting under pressure.

Meditation Is Not a Distraction, Burnout Is the Adversary
