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.
Full Agenda Coming Soon
Registration & Breakfast
08:30 - 09:30
Opening Remarks
09:30 - 09:40
Tabletop Exercise
09:40 - 10:40
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: Killing the Cloud Data Tax
Security budgets are being swallowed by the "ingest everything" lie, leaving CISOs with massive SIEM bills and zero actual visibility. This session is a 30-minute tactical intervention on how to slash cloud telemetry costs without creating dangerous blind spots. We’re tearing down the legacy model of "storing more to see less" and showing you how to reclaim your budget for the actual work of defense.
Workshop #2: Stop Outsourcing Your Sovereignty to the Cloud
Most organizations moved to the cloud only to realize they’ve handed the keys to their most sensitive data over to their providers. Reclaim digital sovereignty and subvert the "shared responsibility" myth by taking back absolute control of encryption and identity. Learn how to ensure your data is protected by your keys and your rules, regardless of whose hardware it’s sitting on. If you don't own the keys, you don't own the data.
Anti-Roundtable
11:30 - 12:15
The Great DLP Delusion
Most security teams are trapped in a "monitor forever" purgatory, buried under a mountain of false positives and archaic regex strings that don't actually stop data from leaving the building. We’re gathering to expose why legacy DLP is a failed experiment in operational overhead and how the next generation of leaders is reclaiming their time. This is a raw discussion on killing the noise, ditching the datacenter backhaul, and finally moving from passive observation to instant, automated enforcement without breaking the workflow.
CISO-Led Workshops (Choose Your Own Adventure)
12:25 - 12:55
Workshop #1: The Personal Liability Survival Guide
In 2026, the era of the "corporate shield" is over. With regulators increasingly targeting individual executives for systemic security failures, a CISO’s personal assets and career are now part of the risk equation. This is a closed-door tactical session on how to audit your own D&O insurance, document "informed dissent" without losing your job, and protect yourself in a legal landscape that is looking for a scapegoat. Stop being the fall guy and start building a defensible career.
Workshop #2: Kill the Dashboard: Managing Risk by the Dollar, Not the Color
The Board is officially deaf to "Red/Yellow/Green" heat maps and 1,000-page vulnerability reports that offer no business context. This session is a masterclass in the brutal translation of cyber risk into financial exposure. Move beyond the jargon to see how top-tier CISOs use risk quantification to win budget battles and force the business to own the decisions they make. It’s time to stop reporting on activity and start driving the ROI of enterprise resilience.
Lunch
13:00 - 14:00
Anti-Roundtable
14:00 - 14:45
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.
Workshops (Choose Your Own Adventure)
14:50 - 15:20
Workshop #1: The Identity Power Play
Identity, Security, and IT teams are currently looking at the same problem through three different, disconnected lenses, resulting in a fragmented mess of "partially offboarded" accounts and shadow identities. Stop the cycle of manual user access reviews and "rubber-stamp" compliance. We are deconstructing how a unified identity graph reveals the hidden links between employees and their digital footprints to eliminate the identity attack surface. Move beyond static governance to a model where access is continuous, contextual, and actually manageable.
Workshop #2: The End of the Passive Defender
Legacy vulnerability management is a cycle of endless scanning and zero resolution, leaving teams drowning in "critical" alerts that don't actually matter. It’s time to flip the script and adopt an offensive mindset that evolves faster than the adversary. Explore how autonomous, self-evolving systems think like a hacker to uncover hidden attack paths and prioritize the fixes that actually stop a breach. Stop playing catch-up with your own telemetry and start outmaneuvering the threat with minimal manual intervention.
CISO-Led Workshop
15:30 - 16:30
To Be Announced
Cyber Arcade & Happy Hour
16:30 - 17:30
Step into the Cyber Arcade - a casual, come-and-go space where you can explore tools and self-test-drive the latest products that actually solve problems. Play with it. Break it. Start again. And just like any normal arcade, there will be tickets and prizes up for grabs!
In association with:
After-Summit Dinner
17:30 - 21:00
Time to unwind and enjoy some great company after a successful day. No more work related discussions, just good food and good people. Perfect.
