About the Event
Cyber Compass 2026 is a virtual event organized by Advens that brings together cybersecurity practitioners to examine the operational implications of artificial intelligence across security functions. The event runs over three days and consists of seven expert-led webinars, each lasting 30 minutes. SentinelOne participates as a technology partner, and Advens will feature its AI Factory initiative.
The format is designed for working professionals who need focused, applicable content without extended time commitments. Sessions emphasize real-world experiences and field-tested approaches rather than theoretical discussions.
AI Threats and Defense Strategies
A central theme of Cyber Compass 2026 is the dual nature of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity. Sessions address how threat actors are leveraging AI to develop more sophisticated attacks, while also exploring how defenders can apply the same technologies to improve detection and response capabilities.
The event covers Shadow AI, the phenomenon of unauthorized AI tools being used within organizations without security oversight. This presents particular challenges for security teams who must identify and manage AI systems operating outside approved channels.
Identity Management and Machine Identities
Identity management receives dedicated attention, with sessions examining how AI affects both human and machine identity security. As organizations deploy more automated systems and AI-driven processes, the number of machine identities requiring management has grown substantially. The event addresses practical approaches to securing these expanding identity ecosystems.
Security Operations Center Applications
SOC teams face increasing pressure to process larger volumes of alerts while maintaining detection accuracy. Cyber Compass 2026 includes sessions on applying AI within security operations to improve efficiency, enhance threat detection and accelerate incident response. The content focuses on technologies and solutions currently available for addressing AI-related cyber risks.
Who Should Attend
The event targets cybersecurity professionals, IT managers, SOC analysts, CISOs and security architects working in mid-to-large enterprises. Decision-makers responsible for security strategy and technology investments will find relevant content for evaluating AI-related risks and defensive capabilities.
