Business Impact Analyses\, as they have been performed for decades\, are inadequate. The determination of RTO and RPO may be meaningless in the face of stolen information and ransomware attacks that reflect what business leaders would like to be done rather than what IT can do. Moreover\, new government rules require analysis and disclosure that necessitate an understanding by executive management of what the impact of a cyberattack would be if an attack were to occur. This one-day seminar/workshop\, combining instruction with a hands-on case study\, presents practical methods for understanding the potential impact of cyberattacks\, as the basis for remediation\, reporting and recovery. \nIntended audience: Management and staff in Information Security\, Business Continuity Management\, IT Auditing\, Risk Management\, Finance\, Office of General Counsel. \nRegistration closes on Oct 1 @ 5pm.

The workshop introduces participants to the evolution from traditional automation and generative AI toward agentic systems capable of reasoning\, planning\, memory\, and autonomous action across complex security workflows. \nParticipants will explore how agentic AI systems operate\, including their core components\, architectures\, and execution models\, and how these capabilities are applied across cybersecurity functions such as threat detection\, investigation\, incident response\, vulnerability management\, and governance. The program emphasizes practical understanding of how agentic systems interact with data\, tools\, and decision-making processes in real-world security environments. \nThe workshop also addresses the risks and challenges introduced by agentic AI\, including expanded attack surfaces\, autonomous decision-making risks\, data integrity concerns\, and governance gaps. Participants will examine how these risks can be managed through appropriate controls\, architectural design\, and alignment with established cybersecurity and risk management frameworks. \nThe workshop combines instructor-led presentations\, conceptual walkthroughs\, structured discussions\, and applied analysis to bridge foundational concepts with operational application. Participants will develop the ability to evaluate\, design\, and support the integration of agentic AI into cybersecurity programs while maintaining appropriate oversight\, security controls\, and governance. \nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will be equipped with practical knowledge and analytical frameworks to assess agentic AI capabilities\, understand their role in cybersecurity operations\, and support the responsible and effective adoption of autonomous systems within enterprise and federal environments. \nIntended audience: This workshop is intended for cybersecurity\, IT\, risk management\, audit\, and governance professionals who want to understand how agentic AI is being applied in modern security environments. It is particularly relevant for SOC analysts\, incident responders\, security engineers\, architects\, GRC professionals\, auditors\, program managers\, and technology leaders. The course is also well suited for federal employees and government contractors involved in evaluating\, implementing\, or overseeing AI-enabled cybersecurity capabilities.

The workshop is designed to help participants understand how FedRAMP is evolving from a predominantly document- and control-centric authorization model toward an approach that emphasizes measurable security outcomes\, reusable security evidence\, automation\, continuous assurance\, and machine-readable certification information. \nParticipants will examine the policy and operational foundations of FedRAMP 20x\, including OMB Memorandum M-24-15\, the FedRAMP Consolidated Rules for 2026\, FedRAMP certification types\, certification classes\, authorization boundaries\, certification packages\, Key Security Indicators (KSIs)\, Security Decision Records (SDRs)\, independent verification and validation\, vulnerability management\, and ongoing certification requirements. The workshop also explains the continuing relationship between FedRAMP 20x\, FedRAMP Rev5\, Federal agency authorization responsibilities\, and the NIST Risk Management Framework. \nThe workshop emphasizes the practical differences between traditional FedRAMP practices and the emerging FedRAMP 20x model. Participants will explore how security assertions are increasingly supported by measurable evidence\, how certification information can be maintained and shared continuously\, how automation can strengthen verification and validation\, and how Federal agencies can reuse FedRAMP certification evidence while remaining responsible for their own authorization and risk-acceptance decisions. \nThe workshop combines instructor-led presentations\, case studies\, guided discussions\, and applied exercises that bridge policy\, security engineering\, assessment\, and authorization practice. Participants will analyze realistic cloud-service scenarios\, evaluate certification scope and evidence\, examine Key Security Indicators\, assess vulnerabilities using risk-based information\, and consider how cloud service providers\, independent assessors\, and Federal agencies interact throughout the certification and authorization lifecycle. \nBy the conclusion of the workshop\, participants will possess the knowledge and practical skills needed to understand the FedRAMP 20x model\, interpret current FedRAMP requirements\, distinguish certification from agency authorization\, evaluate security evidence and assurance information\, and support the implementation\, assessment\, use\, and ongoing oversight of FedRAMP-certified cloud services. \nThis event takes place on December 7 and December 9 from 6:00PM – 9:30PM ET. \nRegistration closes on December 6 @ 5pm.
