SUMMARY:Webinar | The Harder Problem: Proving Action Correctness in the Age of Agentic AI
DESCRIPTION:Traditional detection struggles with authorized actions that trigger no alarms. This WiCyS webinar\, featuring AWS\, revisits the concept of “repudiation” to examine what it truly means for an action to be correct\, and why formal systems hit a wall when determining if an action was genuinely the right thing to do. Drawing on recent research\, the session explores the limits of detection\, why systems can only guarantee conformance to a specification rather than absolute correctness\, and how this framework applies to security for newly deploying AI agents. \nKey takeaways include a clear framework for reasoning about action correctness\, realistic understanding of current detection boundaries and practical insights into how these principles are already being implemented in AI environments \nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live. To earn CPE/CEU credits with the following providers\, you must meet the minimum requirements: \n\nGIAC/(ISC)2: attend for a minimum of 45 minutes or the entirety of the webinar\nCompTIA: attend for a minimum of 60 minutes or the entirety of the webinar (webinar topic must relate to the certificate being renewed)\n\nAttendees who meet the requirements can log into BrightTALK to print out their attendance certificates to submit for CPE/CEU credits. \nRegister for this webinar and view the recording if you are unable to join live.

SUMMARY:Webinar | Your Vendor Passed the Questionnaire. Now What? Rethinking Third-Party Risk for the AI Era
DESCRIPTION:Traditional third-party risk management has often centered around questionnaires and point-in-time assessments\, but today’s vendor ecosystems are changing faster than those processes can keep up. \nIn this WiCyS webinar\, Cisco will explore how AI\, cloud dependencies\, fourth-party risk\, and continuous monitoring are reshaping the way cybersecurity teams evaluate and manage third-party risk. \nCisco will also discuss how organizations can move beyond the “pass/fail” vendor assessment toward a more dynamic\, risk-based approach that combines automation and continuous intelligence with the human judgment still required to make meaningful risk decisions. \nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live.

SUMMARY:Webinar | Behind the Tabletop: What a Hospital Ransomware Exercise Can Teach Us About SOC Readiness
DESCRIPTION:When ransomware hits a hospital\, the challenge extends far beyond IT: Who decides? Who coordinates? How does the SOC align clinical teams\, legal\, executives\, and communications as the crisis escalates? \nIn this WiCyS webinar\, industry experts take attendees behind the scenes of a real-world hospital tabletop exercise: \n\nKey Crisis Scenarios: Explores critical decision points\, escalating injects\, and multi-stakeholder dynamics from clinical impact to executive communication. What It Tests: Evaluates whether roles\, escalation paths\, operational continuity\, and cross-functional coordination hold up under real pressure.\nCore Takeaway: Demonstrates that tabletop exercises aren’t about perfect answers\, but testing if people\, processes\, and communication actually work when tested.\nAttendees will leave with practical insights to uncover preparedness gaps\, bridge the gap between the SOC and leadership\, and strengthen incident response readiness before a crisis occurs.\n\nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live. To earn CPE/CEU credits with the following providers\, you must meet the minimum requirements: \n\nGIAC/(ISC)2: attend for a minimum of 45 minutes or the entirety of the webinar\nCompTIA: attend for a minimum of 60 minutes or the entirety of the webinar (webinar topic must relate to the certificate being renewed)\n\nAttendees who meet the requirements can log into BrightTALK to print out their attendance certificates to submit for CPE/CEU credits. \nRegister for this webinar and view the recording if you are unable to join live.
