Topic One: 
Practical Ways to Strengthen Your GRC Program
The pendulum has swung to the opposite extreme and it’s time for it to come center. Our IT operations are full of “too much”. Too many tools. Too many unreferenced documents. Too much unmanageable data. Too many confusing controls from too many vague regulations and frameworks. Very few of these things actually align to our real operations. We have created all of this overwhelming noise and meanwhile are losing data at a ridiculously drastic rate.
Let’s stop continuing to do the same things that got us into this mess and expecting different results. This session will bring us all back to best practice governance basics and provide attendees with three very practical recommendations that they can use the very next day.
Speaker One: 
Karina Klever
Karina Klever has spent more than 35 years in technology, starting in 1989 as a computer operator. After programming and decades of project/program management, she began focusing on compliance in the early 2000s. Over the next 20 years, Karina would go on to establish GRC Centers of Excellence for Fortune 500 companies.
After years of witnessing compliance being implemented as nothing more than a checkbox exercise, Karina opened her own boutique company, Klever Compliance, to guide midsized companies into establishing governance programs that are appropriate for their particular industry, level of maturity, size, risk posture, and goals. Klever Compliance is tool agnostic and works across industries, maturities, regulations and frameworks. Checkbox compliance leaves gaping security holes, so Karina's approach is to align actual operations to controls, instead of the other way around.
Topic Two: 
Cybersecurity and AI: Advancements, Workforce Impact, and Future Challenges
AI isn't just changing cybersecurity—it's completely rewiring the battlefield. This talk exposes the hard truth about autonomous defense systems, AI-powered red teams, and attackers now capable of launching machine-speed campaigns that bypass traditional controls.
We'll tackle the workforce earthquake happening as junior roles vanish and senior positions demand hybrid human-AI skills, while exploring why your sprawling security tool collection creates more vulnerabilities than it solves. Forget vendor hype—this session delivers actionable strategies for navigating the AI cyber arms race while preserving the irreplaceable human expertise that separates security victories from catastrophic failures.
Speaker Two: R
on Dilley
Ron Dilley works at IS2 as a Principal Cyber Security Architect, focusing on fostering innovation and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in technology to deliver exceptional value for clients. He is also on the IANS Research Faculty. As a cybersecurity innovator, he works with many cross-functional teams to develop novel security solutions and enhance security capabilities that improve customer experiences while frustrating adversaries.
He is a seasoned information security practitioner and thought leader with more than two decades of experience building, implementing, and leading information security practices responsible for the overall security posture and risk management of global companies. He is focused on security innovation, research, and development, and has overseen and revitalized infosec teams and advised on mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures from
an infosec perspective.
He also serves the cyber security community through open-source tools and solutions for real-world security challenges, including current work on stateless TCP (honeypi), the IR Directory Scanner (difftree), Log Templater (tmpltr), SSH Canary (sshcanary), Log Pseudo Indexer (logpi), and Wirespy Daemon (wsd).

Tn Around

Sunset Boulevard is one one the most iconic things about LA but, it is ultimately just a road. There is no doubt that it covers a few highlights e.g. Playboy Mansion, the Oppenheim Group and leads straight to Hollywood but it&#39;s something you end up passing through rather than venturing to.
