A Different Kind of Security Event
The Infosec Anti-Summit challenges the status quo by creating a space for CISOs and security leaders to engage, collaborate, and share real-world experience.
Through a series of hands-on workshops, tabletop exercises, mock scenarios, and peer-led discussions, the Anti-Summit encourages maximum exchange of ideas in a setting built for trust, candor, and community.
This is not about watching from the sidelines, it is about being part of the conversation. It's not about people on stage talking at the audience, it's about getting people around the table talking with each other.
Identify the challenges. Understand how others are solving them. Develop a strategy to safeguard.
Welcome to the Anti-Summit.

Omni-Channel Threat Response: A Tabletop Exercise for Business Resilience
Organizations are global engines with many disparate systems and critical moving parts. The threat landscape is vast and the attack surface is growing in complexity. Your customers look to you, to lead in times of disruption and crisis. This exercise will challenge traditional thinking and disrupt the approach to incident and crisis management.
Workshops (Choose Your Own Adventure)
10:50 - 11:20
Workshop #1: How Threat Actors Target C-Suite Executives
Threat actors leverage open-source intelligence (OSINT) to identify high-value targets and plan attacks on executives and their families. The murder of Brian Thompson, CEO of Healthcare, was an extreme case. But many cyber and physical threats fueled by exposed personal information impact executives and businesses every day. Share best practices and solutions that shift the security focus to the left, preventing cyber and physical incidents before they occur.
Workshop #2: Beyond the Perimeter: Securing Against SaaS Sprawl and AI Adoption
As organizations race to harness the power of SaaS and GenAI, the attack surface is expanding faster than traditional security teams can adapt. In this roundtable session, Lior Yaari, CEO and Co-Founder of Grip Security, will lead a timely discussion on the realities of securing the modern enterprise beyond the perimeter. Attendees will explore how the rapid adoption of SaaS tools and emerging AI capabilities are introducing new, often poorly defined risks—frequently accepted in the name of innovation. The session will also dive into practical strategies for regaining control: from improving visibility to automating responses and securing SaaS identities at scale—all without overburdening already stretched security teams.
Anti-Roundtable
11:35 - 12:20
Least Privilege is Dead: Why Zero Standing Permission is the Future of Security
For decades, least privilege has been hailed as the cornerstone of access control. But in today’s dynamic environments—spanning SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, and on-prem systems—it has become more fantasy than framework.
Least privilege simply can’t scale to today’s constantly shifting identities, applications, and access needs. The real risk isn’t failing to reach an unattainable ideal, it’s standing permissions that linger long after they’re needed. To secure today’s enterprise, we must move beyond least privilege toward zero standing access, just-in-time provisioning, step-up approvals, and full auditing. Security shouldn’t be about saying “no”; it should enable business agility by saying “yes—safely.”

12:30 - 13:00
Workshop #1: Smarter Telemetry, Faster Response
Security and DevOps teams are drowning in data—and paying the price. As telemetry volumes grow, so do costs, noise, and time-to-resolution. Throwing more money at SIEM and log tools isn't sustainable.
This session explores how applying AI to your observability and security data can cut costs by over 50% and speed up incident resolution by 40% or more. Learn how to optimize your data streams to surface only what matters—making insights clearer, response times faster, and budgets more manageable.
Workshop #2: Securing Data in the the Age of AI
As organizations race to adopt AI, the volume and sprawl of sensitive data have exploded—bringing new challenges for security teams tasked with keeping it all in check. Traditional tools weren’t built for this scale, speed, or complexity.
This session looks at how precise data visibility paired with automated remediation can help organizations stay ahead of risk. Learn how to proactively manage data across platforms, reduce exposure, and unlock the full potential of AI—without compromising security.

Anti-Roundtable
14:05 - 14:50
Strengthening the Human Firewall: Empowering Teams in the Age of AI
Explore how organizations can strengthen their “human firewall” in the age of AI. This discussion will cover the heightened risks introduced by AI, practical ways to rebuild security awareness programs for real-world threats, and strategies to embed security into company culture. We’ll also share approaches for boosting user resilience and improving behavioral threat detection with Adaptive.
