AI is Changing the Attack Surface!

Enterprises are adopting private AI and LLM (Large Language Model) infrastructures at an alarming rate, which introduces a new breed of risks. Unlike traditional IT workloads, AI factories and data centers manage sensitive training data, powerful GPU clusters, distributed inference services, and high-throughput pipelines.

OWASP, recently published the Top 10 LLM threats. In addition to the regular "Normal" threats, the list included prompt injections, data leakage, model manipulation, and insecure outputs.

AI-Generated phishing attacks increased 14X in December 2025, alone!

This new and much broader attack surface increases threats to data, intellectual property, proprietary AI models, and end-users. Organizations need to protect against these threats.

Cybersecurity insurance is not a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Most policies have specific requirements you need to meet to ensure your coverage applies in the event of an incident. Insurance companies require policyholders to complete questionnaires when signing up, and can hold you to your responses.

Have you signed a questionnaire but aren’t sure what you agreed to?

Let’s talk through your current situation and help you align with the policy expectations. If you don’t currently have a cybersecurity insurance policy, this exercise will help keep premiums lower when you decide to purchase one.

The afternoon at Phish & Brews is taking things to a whole new level.

We’ve moved from the technical foundations into the most unpredictable layer of all: The Human Element.

Here’s what’s happening at the Main Hall:

Data Visibility: Jason Budgell is back to challenge us. If your data vanished right now, do you actually know where to find it? (RTO/RPO isn't just for IT!).
Workforce AI: Sebastien Rho from Check Point on how AI is reshaping employee behavior faster than we can govern it.
Leadership Reclaimed: A powerful closing keynote from Jennifer Hutton (Steele Auto Group) on why tech is a leadership responsibility, not just an "IT thing."

We're wrapping up a massive day with closing remarks and prize presentations.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us for Ridegell’s Phish & Brews 2026!
