Your endpoints are changing by the minute, but your visibility probably isn’t. While IT teams focus on governance and process, security teams chase speed and risk reduction. The result? Blind spots, audit gaps, and missed threats hiding in plain sight. Join Jonathan Risto, SANS Principal Instructor, Jesse Harris, Tanium Technical Leader, and Adam Janosek, AHEAD Senior Solutions Architect on December 2, 2025, at 3:30 ET for a live webcast...

As cyber threats grow in complexity and frequency, organizations' strategies for detection and response must continuously evolve. The SANS 2025 Detection and Response Survey webcast will delve into the current state of cybersecurity operations, questioning whether the heavy emphasis on endpoint detection is creating new blind spots. By concentrating primarily on endpoints, organizations may narrow their scope and overlook threats emerging from...

Quantum computing is rapidly approaching a tipping point where today’s public key encryption will be rendered obsolete. The “harvest now, decrypt later” threat model and looming “Q-day” scenario mean that sensitive government, financial, healthcare, and infrastructure data in motion is already at risk. In this webcast, we explore Quantum Xchange’s Phio TX platform—a quantum-safe key distribution soluti...

Starting a consulting career isn’t difficult. Many people do it successfully in the short term. What’s far more challenging is achieving long-term success and truly “living the dream” for decades, whether that means enjoying high pay, meaningful and exciting work, greater personal freedom, or a unique combination of all three. So, what do consultants who have built sustainable, thriving careers do differently? Drawing o...

Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI have inherent limitations, such as outdated knowledge, lack of private data access, and the potential for hallucinations. In this session, we will introduce a strategy for overcoming these challenges: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Attendees will see how a GenAI RAG application can provide access to real-time, private data stored in an external knowledge base without needing to fine-tune th...

When attackers get their hands on privileged credentials in cloud environments, their first move is rarely the big flashy action we expect. Instead, they're quietly turning off the alarms. Defense impairment has become a go-to tactic for adversaries who want to operate undetected in AWS and Azure environments, and it's working because teams aren't watching for it. This talk will walk through real-world defense impairment techniques across AWS...
