The symposium will serve as a dynamic forum for some of the most influential voices in cybersecurity, technology, and adjacent sectors. The day will feature an intentionally curated program of keynote addresses, lightning talks, and interactive panel discussions, each focused on a single, critical theme: how we can collaboratively future-proof our cyber strategies in the face of accelerating digital change.
With a particular focus on emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and the expanding threat landscape, Cyber Futures will explore practical, ethical, and strategic implications for both public and private sector organizations. Attendees will engage with national thought leaders, innovators, security professionals, policy experts, and academics, gaining valuable insights into how cross -sector collaboration can protect our digital infrastructure and societal resilience.
This symposium is not just another tech conference, it is a strategic convergence of leadership and vision, addressing the very real urgency to stay ahead of complex cyber threats.
Info: This session will explore the rapidly evolving landscape of AI-generated media, the rise of deepfakes, and the implications for cybersecurity, misinformation, and public trust. We’ll cover how these technologies work, who’s using them (for both good and bad), and the tools available for detection and mitigation as well as what the future holds in terms of trust.
Info: This panel will dive deep into the evolving landscape of insider threats, revealing how subtle anomalies, human behavior, and emerging technologies intersect to create new vulnerabilities. The panelists represent backgrounds in national security, corporate risk, and counterintelligence will discuss real-world incidents and the limitations of traditional detection models.
Info: This panel explores strategies for architecting future-ready cyber programs leveraging cross-functional cyber literacy, collaboration and extension of cyber expertise. Panelists will discuss scaling talent through upskilling, non-traditional pipelines, and targeted mentorship to address evolving demands.
Info: The use of AI has become more commercialized and strategic allowing for cyber criminals to level up cyber attacks. Learn how the convergence of AI and cyber threats have evolved malware creation and social engineering resulting in accelerated exploitation. The panelists will discuss how to create multi layer defenses against some of the most prevalent AI based cyber attacks observed and the current threat landscape.
Info: Step beyond theory and observe how leading experts confront the realities of incident response in real time. In this tabletop exercise, a distinguished panel featuring Federal Law enforcement officials, seasoned external counsel, and top cyber liability insurance panelists dissect the nuanced scenario tailored for publicly traded companies overseeing critical infrastructure .
Watch as the panel navigates the intricate web of overlapping response priorities, balancing regulatory requirements for public disclosure against national security considerations. Throughout the session, you’ll gain practical insights into decision-making under pressure, communication strategies, and the coordination needed across legal, compliance, and cybersecurity domains.
Info: Stay one step ahead of the quantum curve. Learn how future quantum computing capabilities will unravel current encryption methods and how emerging techniques are designed to withstand these attacks and secure sensitive data and communications in a post-quantum world.
Info: Lush gardens, a reflecting pool and spectacular views from San Diego’s Mission Bay to the Pacific Ocean.
