Join your peers in-person or virtually for interactive educational sessions discussing topics ranging from AI to cybersecurity leadership.

ISC2 has many opportunities for learning and engagement at both in-person and virtual workshops throughout the year. Each workshop, covering Cyber Leadership or Securing AI, offers unique learning objectives and connection opportunities with peers and leaders in the industry.

Today’s cybersecurity leaders are guiding teams that are securing operations around the world. They are tasked with trying to stay up to date with new frameworks and regulations while cyberthreats are consistently more aggressive and complex. The call for strong cybersecurity leadership is a global imperative. Whether you already command a seat in the C-suite or aspire to a leadership role in cybersecurity, our in-person and virtual cybersecurity leadership programs will help you transform your readiness in today’s evolving landscape.

While cybersecurity leaders try to stay updated on the latest trends, AI continues to expand the threat landscape as it becomes more advanced and available. At the same time, new defensive capabilities are emerging as technologies evolve. Join the ISC2 Securing AI workshop to explore strategies to maximize the power of AI while managing the risks. These interactive two-day sessions will discuss securing the deployment of AI and identify how it uses data through a practical risk management lens. Choose from in-person or virtual learning. Both formats are highly interactive, combining guided discussions and peer-to-peer learning.

AI and Cybersecurity

Securing AI: Cybersecurity Strategy - This workshop will focus on embracing the power of AI while strategically managing risks. Learners will ensure their organization's AI practices are aligned with established risk management and emerging industry best practices. Attendees will learn to implement security across the AI lifecycle using secure-by-design and default principles.

The ISC2 AI workshops provide cybersecurity professionals with essential working knowledge of this highly sought skill set for immediate implementation back at their organizations. These insights will help attendees ensure their organization's AI practices are aligned with established risk management and emerging industry best practices.

James Ruffin, CISSP, a workshop participant and program manager at Zeneth Technology Partners said, “My biggest takeaway from this workshop is that I have a toolset that I can bring back to my company and my clients. I can put together multiple concepts and help them understand AI, know how to measure risk with AI, understand the frameworks and the attacks we discussed. This session has exceeded my expectations. Attend this workshop and you’ll also have the tools to move forward.”
