After Mythos: Building Security Architecture for the New Reality Date: Thursday, July 30 at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET The release of Mythos marked a turning point. The latest AI models will truly enable attackers to operate at machine speed - automating reconnaissance, collapsing time-to-exploit, and moving laterally across hybrid environments in minutes.

What AI-Accelerated Attacks Demand from the SOC Date: Wednesday, July 22 at 11am PT / 2pm ET Alert fatigue is no longer the defining problem for security teams. The bigger challenge is speed. Attackers are using AI to discover vulnerabilities, generate exploits, and scale campaigns faster than traditional SOC workflows can investigate and respond. This session will examine what today’s threat environment demands from security operations and where the agentic SOC fits in.

The Real Cost of FREE: Microsoft locked the front door. You left the windows open. This deck confronts the comfortable myths IT tells itself ("patching is someone's job," "we've never been breached," "more hustle will fix it") with the 2026 reality: attackers exploit vulnerabilities within ~15 days while most organizations take 55–100 days to patch, third-party apps have surged more than 300% as an attack surface in two years, and AI is accelerating how fast flaws are found and weaponized.

The 80% Iceberg: Why OS Patching Alone No Longer Reduces Enterprise Risk Most patching programs were built for an era when keeping Windows current eliminated most risk. Today the OS is just one piece of a sprawling software estate — browsers, collaboration tools, PDF readers, VPN and remote-access clients, developer utilities — and attackers have followed.

Patch Now or Pay Later: The Financial and Security Risks of Neglected Application Updates Patching is about staying ahead of threats, not just checking a compliance box — yet third-party applications routinely slip through the cracks, opening the door to breaches, compliance failures, and downtime.

Patch Perfect: A Practical Guide to Securing Windows 11 Devices Built for vulnerability management teams, IT admins, SOC teams, and MSPs, this eBook breaks down ten essential Windows 11 security strategies — why each matters and how to implement it.

Are Manual Handoffs Killing Your Patch Window? Don’t Get Stuck in the Dead Zone This infographic visualizes the "15-day doomsday clock" against the reality of manual patch workflows: teams spend an average of 12 of those 15 days coordinating between Security, IT Operations, and Endpoint groups, leaving only ~3 days for actual remediation (and the average time to manually patch half of devices is 55 days).
