Everything Everywhere All At Once: Untangling Security & Privacy Risks Across Today’s AI Tools (<– add to your schedule)

AI adoption is exploding—but the security promises behind these tools often don’t match the fine print buried in their terms, models, or data flows. This talk cuts through the hype with a no‑B.S. look at the real privacy and security risks across today’s major AI platforms, and gives business leaders and security professionals a clear roadmap for deciding what’s safe, what’s risky, and what’s simply not ready for prime time.

Jon Waldman:
Jon Waldman is the Co-Founder and President of SBS CyberSecurity, where he oversees the SBS service teams and the SBS Institute. For more than 20 years, Jon has helped hundreds of organizations identify and understand cybersecurity risks to allow them to make better and more informed business decisions. Jon’s passion for cybersecurity training and education led him to be a driving force in the development of the SBS Institute. Designed for the banking industry, the Institute provides specialized cybersecurity education and now offers more than 10 certification courses, with State Association partnerships in 30+ states.

Jon maintains his CISA, CRISC, and CDPSE certifications. He received his Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems and his Master of Science in Information Assurance with an emphasis in Banking and Finance Security from Dakota State University, a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education designated by the NSA.

Along with being an instructor for SBS Institute courses, Jon frequently speaks on cybersecurity topics at a variety of events and trainings across the country. Additionally, he is a blog author, has had multiple articles published, has participated in numerous podcasts, and regularly hosts educational webinars. Jon strongly believes the more knowledgeable and educated we all are — directors, executives, employees, and customers alike — when it comes to cybersecurity, the more risk we reduce as a whole.

Robots vs Robots – Securing AI and the Data that Powers it (<– add to your schedule)

As AI systems, copilots, and autonomous workflows proliferate, defenders must secure not only the data that fuels them, but the AI behaviors, access paths, and automation they introduce. Robots vs. Robots explores how organizations can protect AI systems end‑to‑end by controlling data exposure, governing AI access, and using automation to stay ahead of adversaries.

Daniela Lulli:
Daniela Lulli leads Varonis Sales Engineering in the Mid Atlantic, partnering with enterprise and public sector organizations to secure their most sensitive data and build resilient, scalable security programs. She has also served as a trusted advisor for Department of Defense, UN, and NATO missions, helping global organizations reduce insider risk and defend against rapidly evolving cyber threats.

Daniela serves as the Chief Technology Officer for the Virginia (Belvoir) Chapter of the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA), a global nonprofit with a mission to enable collaboration between government, military, industry, and academia in the areas of cybersecurity, intelligence, and global security. Her leadership and impact in the community earned her recognition as a finalist for the 2025 CyberScoop50 Most Inspiring Up and Comer Award.

From OSINT to Detection: Building an Agentic CTI Pipeline (<– add to your schedule)

Modern threat intelligence moves fast, but detection engineering lags. This talk presents an agentic workflow that transforms OSINT into actionable detections using structured extraction, LLM reasoning, and automated validation. Transparent, auditable pipelines accelerate the CTI lifecycle, from ingestion to Sigma rules, while preserving analyst control, reducing time-to-detection from days to hours.

Andrew Skatoff:
Andrew is a cybersecurity senior leader with over 20 years of experience protecting critical financial infrastructure within the national financial infrastructure. He leads large-scale programs spanning incident response, threat hunting, and detection engineering, and has served as Incident Commander for nationally significant cyber events.

He is the creator of Huntable CTI Studio, an open-source agentic workbench that transforms threat intelligence reports into actionable detections using transparent, auditable AI workflows. His work focuses on applying AI as a force multiplier for security teams—without sacrificing rigor, trust, or control.
