Here are five sessions you won\u2019t want to miss; make sure to add them to your ISC West calendar!<\/p>\n

Wednesday, March 25, 11:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m.
\nZero trust has long been a standard in the IT world\u2014but until now, physical security, operational technology and industrial control systems managers have lacked the tools to implement it effectively. That\u2019s changing. This session introduces the industry\u2019s first zero trust architecture concept of operations built specifically for physical security systems, extending core cybersecurity principles from the enterprise all the way to the edge. Developed to align with Executive Order 14028 and other federal mandates, this new framework gives security professionals a practical blueprint for real-world deployment.
\nSpeakers:<\/p>\n

Jeremy Freeze-Skret, vice president, Prometheus Security Group Global
\nScott Gross, security strategist, critical infrastructure\/utilities, ESI Convergent

Tuesday, March 24, 11:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m.
\nCybersecurity is a critical challenge for organizations of all types and sizes as the number of data breaches continues to increase on a daily basis; however, as the number and frequency of cyber threats continue to increase through various online tactics, the fastest and easiest way to break into organizations\u2019 critical data comes from internalized threats behind firewalls.<\/p>\n

Thwarting internal threats starts at the perimeter with better personnel identity management and more secure means of gaining access. This panel of industry professionals will discuss how organizations can better manage employee, contractor and visitor identities across their life cycle, better authenticate who they are and best fortify all critical access points with fortified entry solutions.
\nSpeakers:<\/p>\n

Bud Broomhead, CEO\/founder, Viakoo
\nJohn Cassise, chief product officer, SAFR by RealNetworks
\nKaryn Hodgson, editor-in-chief, SDM Magazine
\nGlenn Longley, chief product officer, Inovonics
\nTim Purpura, chief product officer, Morse Watchmans<\/p>\n

Tuesday, March 24, 10-11 a.m.
\nAs threats grow more complex, automation is becoming a key strategy for reducing risk and improving efficiency across cyber-physical environments. This session offers a high-level look at how automation can support secure facility operations\u2014streamlining access control, reducing manual tasks and reinforcing compliance in mission-critical settings.
\nSpeakers:<\/p>\n

\nAs cyber defenses become increasingly sophisticated, attackers are evolving to become nearly undetectable. This panel will explore the latest methods adversaries use to bypass detection, blend into legitimate activity and remain undetected within networks for months. Experts will dissect real-world case studies, demonstrate cutting-edge evasion techniques and discuss how defenders can adapt to this new era of cyber stealth.
\nSpeakers:<\/p>\n

Jim Cooper, director of technology and innovation, Pavion
\nJohn Deskurakis, deputy chief data officer, chief information security officer and chief AI officer, Daikin Applied Americas

Wednesday, March 25, 3:30-4:30 p.m.
\nCybersecurity doesn\u2019t have to be confusing, and you don\u2019t need to be a network engineer to secure your systems. As physical security devices like cameras, access control systems, and intercoms increasingly connect to the network, they\u2019ve become prime targets for cyberattacks.
\nUnfortunately, many integrators and security professionals are left out of the cybersecurity conversation because the guidance is buried in jargon and tech-heavy language. This session is designed specifically for physical security pros who want clear, actionable guidance without the fluff.
\nWe\u2019ll break down essential cybersecurity concepts in plain language, show how cyber risks emerge during real-world deployments and provide simple steps to reduce risk during installation, configuration and ongoing support.
\nPresenter:<\/p>\n

Will Knehr, global cybersecurity advisor, i-PRO Americas<\/p>\n
