• 13:00 – 13:45 - Cybersecurity Threats from a Law Enforcement Perspective:
  This session will focus on the roles our North American law enforcement agencies play with respect to cybersecurity. How do they view the threat landscape? How do they pursue threat actors, both nationally and internationally? Which industry infrastructure do they feel is the most vulnerable? Our experienced panelists will explore the overall role of law enforcement in cybersecurity.
  
  Speakers:
  - Brian Kaiser, Lead of FBI Cyber Division’s Critical Sector Engagement and Intelligence Unit

  AI can now be found in almost every field of activity. NABA’s panel brings together AI experts from industry and academia to look at where the technology is going and what it means in terms of security. Is agentic AI a threat to our conventional network defenses when manipulated by threat actors? How can we leverage AI to work more securely? What are the associated services and technologies that AI empowers? What does the future of AI look like?
  
  Speakers:
  - Dr. Jeannette Wing, Executive VP for Research and Professor of Computer Science, Columbia University
  
• 14:45 - 15:00 - BREAK
• 15:00 - 15:30 - Applied AI Within the Cloud:
  Cloud security is yet another issue broadcasters must be concerned with. Identity sprawl, misconfigurations; visibility in a multi-cloud environment; shadow IT clouds; regulatory compliance, data sovereignty, supply chain complexity, etc. are all security issues for which broadcasters must be prepared. This panel will review the security considerations associated with modern cloud uses.
  
  Speakers:

  - John McClure, CISO, Sinclair Inc
  
• 15:30 - 16:00 - The Future of Securing Identity:
  Proving You Are Who You Say You Are Identity security includes secure access for users, devices and applications. Privileged access management, least privilege access, etc. are all part of security considerations. With broadcasters’ pervasive use of cloud services and employees working remotely, compromised credentials represent a major threat. This session will address where identity management is developing in the future and what new approaches are being considered. The issue of quantum computing compromising credentials will also be discussed.
