Artificial intelligence accelerates this shift\, allowing attackers to scale\, blend\, and disguise threats across domains. The battlefield is no longer segmented; it is unified\, dynamic\, and relentless. \nThis keynote explores how leaders and teams must adapt to an “all risks\, one battlefield” reality. It highlights how AI amplifies both the threat landscape and the defensive toolkit\, demanding more collaboration across disciplines\, sectors\, and geographies. Drawing on Camille Stewart Gloster’s work with companies from startups to global enterprises\, as well as her experience shaping national strategies at the highest levels of government\, the talk will deliver a vision of what’s next and practical steps to act now. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nRecognizing and responding to the collapse of traditional boundaries\,\nHarnessing AI’s potential for resilience as well as risk\, and\nBuilding collaborative\, innovative defenses that resonate from the boardroom to the SOC floor.\n\nThe future of cybersecurity will be defined not by technology alone\, but by leaders who embrace this unified battlefield with clarity\, creativity\, and courage. \n  \n\n \n\n10:00 AM – 10:55 AM \n\n\nFrom FOMO to Focus: A Strategic Approach to Cybersecurity Innovation \nPresenters: Stacey Champagne (Hacker in Heels) and Anna Wheeler (SSAW\, LLC) \nIn a field driven by constant change\, the pressure to adopt the latest technologies can overshadow the strategic thinking that makes innovation meaningful. In this dynamic fireside chat\, leaders will examine how organizations can build cybersecurity programs that are intentional\, not reactive—where innovation is guided by clear threat models\, realistic resource assessments\, and defined business outcomes rather than industry hype. Together\, we’ll explore the hidden costs of tool-first thinking and uncover practical frameworks for evaluating new technologies through a strategic lens. Attendees will gain insights on how to cultivate organizational discipline around innovation decisions\, calculate true ROI beyond vendor promises\, and create cybersecurity strategies that remain resilient to hype cycles while staying agile enough to capitalize on genuine breakthroughs that align with their mission. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand how to evaluate emerging technologies against your organization’s actual threat landscape\, risk tolerance\, and resource capacity.\nLearn practical approaches to building organizational discipline around innovation decisions\, even when facing pressure from leadership or market trends.\nDiscover methods for calculating the true costs and ROI of cybersecurity innovations beyond initial implementation\, including hidden operational and cultural impacts.\n\n  \n\n \n\n11:05 AM – 12:00 PM \n\n\nRed & Blue Team Perspectives: Navigating the Evolving Threat Landscape \nModerator: Toni Benson (Peraton) \nPanelists: Kelly McCracken (Salesforce)\, Lara Meadows (ThreatConnect)\, and Krissy Safi (Protiviti) \nThe threat landscape is evolving faster than ever\, challenging security teams to stay ahead of sophisticated adversaries. Attackers are using AI to move faster\, scale their operations\, and outmaneuver traditional defenses. At the same time\, defenders are innovating with automated detection and response and new approaches to resilience. \nIn this session\, red and blue team perspectives come together to reveal how these shifting threats impact day-to-day operations and strategic decision-making. You’ll leave with both a strategic understanding of emerging risks and practical steps to strengthen your defenses and adapt your security program. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nAnticipate emerging threats and trends across the evolving cybersecurity landscape.\nApply defensive innovations\, including detection\, monitoring\, and automated response strategies.\nIntegrate red and blue team insights to improve controls\, incident response\, and proactive defense measures.\n\n  \n\n \n\n12:00 PM – 12:30 PM \n\n\nLunch (provided) and Networking \n  \n\n \n\n12:30 PM – 01:30 PM \n\n\nFriend\, Foe\, or Force Multiplier? A Debate on Cybersecurity and IT Audit in Action \nModerator: Chaitra Devaraysamudram Krishna (Fannie Mae) \nPanelists: Xin (Cindy) Tu and Kelly Volz (LPL Financial) \nWhen it comes to protecting organizations\, the first line of defense (cybersecurity) and the third line (IT audit) often find themselves in tension. Are they natural allies\, necessary challengers\, or something in between? In this dynamic debate session\, leaders from both functions will tackle real-world business scenarios — from responding to audit findings to prioritizing risk to navigating the intersection of advisory agreements and formal audits — to explore how these roles should (or shouldn’t) collaborate. The audience will gain an unfiltered look at the friction\, the opportunities\, and the innovative paths forward when two critical functions come together. Expect lively discussion\, spirited exchanges\, and fresh insights on how collaboration — or healthy tension — can transform the future of cybersecurity. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExamine real-world scenarios that highlight both the friction and the opportunity between cybersecurity and IT audit.\nDifferentiate when collaboration drives progress versus when pushback or healthy tension strengthens outcomes.\nDiscover how to transform the audit–cybersecurity relationship into a catalyst for innovation\, trust\, and long-term resilience.\n\n  \n\n \n\n01:30 PM – 02:00 PM \n\n\nConference Conclusion and Networking \n  \n\nThe Vendor Hall will be open throughout the conference. \n  \nSpeaker Showcase \n\n \nLeading Tech Speaker Showcase – Toni Benson \nThis video provides an introduction to Toni Benson\, who is the moderator for the session “Red & Blue Team Perspectives: Navigating the Evolving Threat Landscape” at the ISACA-GWDC Leading Tech Conference\, a SheLeadsTech event\, on November 13th\, 2025. \n \n  \n\n  \n\n \nLeading Tech Speaker Showcase – Lara Meadows \nThis video provides an introduction to Lara Meadows\, who is a panelist for the session “Red & Blue Team Perspectives: Navigating the Evolving Threat Landscape” at the ISACA-GWDC Leading Tech Conference\, a SheLeadsTech event\, on November 13th\, 2025. \n \n  \n\n  \n\n\n\n  \nInterested in Joining ISACA and the GWDC? \nIf you are interested\, planning to attend\, or attending this event\, please share with your colleagues across your social media networks. \nTo become a member and take advantage of the member rate for our events\, among other benefits\, join ISACA and select the Greater Washington D.C.
