John Hammond

You've read the headlines. You've seen the breach reports. Your clients still think it won't be them. You know it will be, and this will give you the tools to educate your clients.

This pre-day workshop is your one shot to see exactly how attackers get in — before you're the one explaining what happened to leadership. In a live, hands-on lab, you will emulate how threat actors weaponize social engineering and malware in real time to break into an environment, step by step, no fluff.

Then it gets real. Huntress and Melissa Ventrone from Clark Hill, bring you inside actual incident response engagements — names redacted, mistakes fully exposed. You'll hear exactly where teams panic, what they get wrong, and how those first bad decisions turn a 3-day recovery into a 3-week nightmare.

And just when you think you've seen it all, John Hammond takes the floor for a raw, audience-driven descent into the cyber underworld — you pick where he goes, and he doesn't hold back. Expect stories that don't make it into blog posts.

Fair warning: seats are limited, the content doesn't get repeated, and if you skip this one, you'll be hearing about it from everyone who didn't.

"Hey Claude, please solve cybersecurity. Make no mistakes." Our industry has turned upside down and robots are running around everywhere -- for better or for worse. Join John Hammond for a crash course on how hackers are using AI across the endpoint and identity attack surfaces, and how you can go toe-to-toe against the adversaries that move at machine speed. Expect real-world case studies of attackers arming their autonomous phishing kits, malware development, and the tools we can use to defend against them.

We'll break down what works versus what's just hype, and you'll walk away with practical approaches to help protect you and your clients.
