Core Topics
01
ZERO TRUST: WHAT IT IS, WHAT IT ISN'T

Every vendor has slapped Zero Trust on their product sheet. This talk cuts through the buzzword soup and explains what the architecture actually requires.

02
SSL/TLS INSPECTION AT ENTERPRISE SCALE

Most organizations have blind spots inside their encrypted traffic. This isn't theoretical — it's where attackers live. A technical deep dive into doing inspection right.

03
AGENTIC AI AND ENTERPRISE SECURITY

AI agents that can escape sandboxes, execute code, and operate autonomously represent a new attack surface. What security teams need to understand right now.

04
DDOS AND THE PHYSICS OF THE ATTACK

Why a 3 Gbps attack can drop a 40 Gbps NGFW. The math nobody wants to talk about, and the architecture decisions that actually protect you.
