The 2026 Emerging Technologies Track of the SANS Spring Cyber Solutions Fest will bring together leading cybersecurity innovators and thought leaders to explore the newest frontiers in defensive technology. Building on the practical, real-world use cases featured in 2025, the 2026 edition will highlight emerging tools, advanced automation, and threat-detection strategies tailored for increasingly hybrid and AI-driven environments. Attendees can expect deep dives into next-generation defenses — including AI-assisted incident response, secure DevSecOps pipelines, and adaptive threat-hunting processes — with live demonstrations and interactive sessions.
In addition to technical presentations, the 2026 Track will provide strategic guidance for integrating emerging technologies into enterprise-scale security architectures. Participants will walk away with actionable roadmaps for expanding their security arsenals, leveraging cutting-edge tools, and strengthening their cyber posture in the face of evolving threats. Whether you’re on the defensive team, part of a SOC, or leading security strategy, the Emerging Technologies Track aims to equip you with both the knowledge and the practical tools to stay ahead in a rapidly changing cyber landscape.
