Subsea infrastructure forms the hidden backbone of modern power. Submarine fiber-optic cables carry the overwhelming majority of global communications. Offshore platforms and subsea pipelines support energy security. Military command-and-control systems, financial markets, cloud computing, and intelligence sharing all depend upon infrastructure laid quietly across the ocean floor.

Lance, drawing on more than five years of professional experience in subsea critical infrastructure environments, offers a look into protecting subsea infrastructure in the age of cyber conflict.

AI is rapidly evolving from conversational chatbots to autonomous agents capable of taking independent action across your systems. For cybersecurity leaders, this shift demands a new security mindset. Unlike traditional software, agentic AI operates with autonomy and privileged access, pursuing goals through strategies that may be difficult to predict or control. This session explores the unique risks agentic systems introduce — including emergent behavior, unpredictability, and expanded attack surfaces — and equips security leaders with practical considerations to stay ahead of this fast-moving threat landscape.

Each major cyber incident tells a story, but the real lessons come from the decisions made before, during, and after the event. This session examines ten recent incidents and highlights the legal and business consequences that followed. Rather than retelling breaches, it focuses on disclosure, response, vendor risk, and governance decisions that created liability, offering practical insights security professionals can apply in their own organizations.
