Supply Chain Dependencies: Have You Checked Your Blind Spot?
Wednesday, Mar 25 | 9:40 AM - 10:30 AM PDT
Session Detail →
Learn more
Growing digital reliance makes supply chains a prime cyber target. Third-party breaches can halt operations, trigger downstream chaos, and blur the line between cyber, business, and financial risk. As the risk surface expands, businesses need to understand their supply chain dependencies, map digital and non-digital dependencies, and deploy new resilience strategies to safeguard their operations.

Stay Ahead of Adversaries with ESET Threat Intelligence.
In Dec 2025, the DynoWiper operation showed how close a Russian APT came to disrupting power in a NATO country—until ESET tech and threat intelligence helped blunt it. This session details how ESET Threat Intelligence and our XDR spot operations before destructive payloads deploy, how ransomware gangs use EDR killers and stealth, and how ESET neutralizes them—helping orgs stay ahead of espionage grade and financially motivated attackers.

James Rodewald
Living in the Trenches and Performing recon with Inspect
Which attacks do ESET MDR teams protect you from? Often, they stop threats so swiftly we never see an adversary’s full intent. This talk flips the lens: what does a hands on keyboard ransomware incident look like when no experts are monitoring to stop and remediate it? By recognizing these patterns, you can judge whether your team can counter real world tactics—or if it’s time to have ESET Experts monitor your environment.

The Shock of AI Impact and How to Absorb It
AI is colliding with cybersecurity. In this talk, we take a closer look at how blind trust and deployment efficiency create new attack surfaces. Real-world data shows that generative AI mostly powers scams, fraud, phishing, and disinformation—not novel techniques or breakthrough malware. Drawing on concrete R&D examples and hard won lessons, we show why only an AI philosophy based on experimentation, rigorous testing, and human expertise can steer us away from worst case scenarios and keep AI net positive.
