Identify potential issues InfoSec teams should be aware of when choosing a single sign on (SSO) provider, as well as guidance for how to proceed.

The November Privacy Briefing will feature IANS Faculty members Lisa Perdelwitz and Jodi Daniels. This informal discussion will explore recent legal developments and anticipated rulings, highlighting how they influence AI strategies and surface emerging privacy risks. We will examine how infosec leaders can collaborate across teams to not only implement and operationalize privacy and data protection requirements, but also proactively manage the evolving landscape of AI-driven data challenges.

With an uptick in vibe coding and AI-assisted coding practices in general, organizations are finding their teams are trying to take advantage of the speed and efficiency of AI in development, but this is often at the expense of security. LLMs lean towards functionality over security in code generation tasks. Generated code can contain vulnerabilities such as missing input validation, SQL injection, weak authentication, hardcoded credentials and outdated cryptographic algorithm use. These risks are further amplified by unvetted training data, insecure prompting patterns and a lack of standards for integrating SAST/DAST into AI-assisted development pipelines. Add to that the growing threat of prompt injection, data poisoning and model supply chain compromise, and the attack surface expands fast.

What do your peers spend on security software and services and which areas are growing fastest? Benchmark your budget and allocation with IANS' Security Software and Services 2025 Benchmark Report. IANS Faculty Dave Shackleford and Guillaume Ross will discuss: Budget allocation: Where CISOs prioritize spend today, and how that may change in 2026 Unified platforms: Why organizations are moving to unified platforms, who are the most trusted vendors and how to negotiate effective contracts MSSPs: What is their role in the security stack, who should be using them and best practices for structuring MSSP relationships

The leading cause of data breaches and security issues has been compromised credentials. These are the very things we rely on for solving security and they are the area most successfully attacked. Moreover, that trend is only intensifying as adversaries increasingly leverage GenAI in their attacks; data shows that ATO attempts have increased 46% between 2023 and mid-2025, largely driven by AI-enhanced phishing and social engineering attacks. In this webinar, IANS Faculty Gunnar Peterson offers new ways to think about our most foundational control, authentication, by looking at AuthN from a threat perspective.

The buzz around Agentic AI – the latest form of AI systems designed to autonomously make decisions and act – is rampant. As security leaders grapple to understand the nuances of this next wave of AI excitement, there are many considerations to take into account to determine if, where and how to experiment and accelerate its use within your environment. In this symposium, IANS Faculty cuts through the noise and shares practical insights and recommendations to aid your understanding of the technology, its risks and guardrails for adoption within your enterprise.
