In 2026, as information security professionals, you’re facing your own steam-powered saw: Artificial Intelligence. AI is reshaping cybersecurity faster than Paul could clear a forest, and some of you might feel like you’re swinging your axe against an unstoppable machine.
This Attack Surface & Vulnerability Management Survey gathers insights from security leaders, practitioners, and researchers to map out the current state of attack surface and vulnerability management.
Register now to learn how Continuous Penetration Testing can transform your security strategy from reactive to proactive—delivering compliance, resilience, and confidence in a rapidly changing threat landscape.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping the penetration testing landscape, yet most practitioners struggle to move beyond basic chatbot queries into meaningful operational integration.
Modern offensive security teams and attackers can no longer rely on traditional tactics, techniques, and procedures. Whether it be developing custom implants to evade EDR/AV, reverse engineering patches to quickly weaponize privately disclosed vulnerabilities, or leveraging AI to accelerate adversarial campaigns, successfully compromising a target environment requires cutting-edge skills.
Join us for an inside look at how SANS Developer Security Training equips teams to build security into their code from the start.
Living off the cloud attacks are on the rise. Executing rapid, cloud-native techniques to escalate privileges, move laterally between environments, and access critical assets, attackers are targeting the cloud more effectively than ever.
