<body><ul><li>How you can build a culture that actually protects your people, your data, and your operations in an era of AI deception.</li><li>Why most companies are still performing 'Security Theater'—checking boxes and hoping for the best—instead of driving genuine behavior change.</li><li>How Trust and Denial quietly fuel most disasters, why interactive training is the only way to make the lessons stick, and how leaders can scale this entire framework without needing a Hollywood budget.</li></ul></body>

<body>Why have security awareness training programs failed? Maybe we need to understand human psychology. Humans don't like tricks, or to be shamed, or negative emotions. Humans want to be rewarded, but yet our training and phishing programs are not built for reward. Maybe it's time to rethink cyber literacy.</body>

<body>Craig Taylor, CEO and Co-founder at CyberHoot, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why we need to shift our Cyber Literacy industry from shame and punishment towards gamification, positive reinforcement, and small rewards. If we truly aspire to change behaviors, then we need a different approach. Craig will discuss how a multi-disciplinary approach rooted in science is the future of training and phishing programs.</body>

<body>From Reactive to Autonomous: Real-Time Endpoint Intelligence in the Age of AI

<body>In this conversation, we’ll explore how IT and security teams are evolving from reactive operations toward proactive, preventative, and ultimately autonomous models. The journey begins with real-time endpoint intelligence—the ability to see, understand, and act across every endpoint in seconds.</body>

<body>Hard Truths: The Lies We Keep Buying in Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity isn’t broken because of a lack of technology—it’s broken because the industry avoids hard truths. Fear still drives budgets. AI is oversold as a cure‑all while foundations remain weak, and CISOs are held accountable without the authority to change outcomes. In this conversation, Illumio CEO and founder Andrew Rubin breaks down what must change to build real resilience—because the next breach won’t just impact the business, it could end a career.</body>

<body>So you want to be a CISO? Do you know what that role entails? It depends on a number of factors, including industry, country location, technical vs. business, and more. Each position is more different than you think.</body>

<body>So you want to be a CISO? Do you know what that role entails? It depends on a number of factors, including industry, country location, technical vs. business, and more. Each position is more different than you think.</body>

<body>Joanna Chen, Chief Information Security Officer at Dashlane, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why not all CISO gigs are created equal. As a "technical" CISO in a foreign country, Joanna realized that not all of her peers came from a technical background, like herself. It's a broad world and the CISO role varies a lot. Joanna will discuss how to understand the various CISO roles and discuss the skills that are makers and breakers.</body>

<body>Attack Surface Just Got a Copilot
AI adoption is accelerating faster than most organizations can secure it — and the consequences are showing up in email inboxes, collaboration platforms, and the shadow tools employees use every day. According to Mimecast's State of Human Risk 2026, 80% of organizations are concerned about sensitive data exposure through generative AI tools, yet 60% still lack strategies to address AI-driven threats. The result is a growing gap between the security investments organizations are making and the protection they're actually getting. In this conversation, Rob Juncker will explore why human behavior has become the defining variable in enterprise cybersecurity, how shadow AI is creating new data exposure and insider risk vectors, and what it takes for security architectures to adapt in real time — without slowing down the business.</body>
