SUMMARY:National Cyber Summit
DESCRIPTION:National Cyber Summit is the nation’s most innovative cybersecurity-technology event\, offering unique educational\, collaborative\, and workforce development opportunities for industry visionaries and rising leaders. NCS offers more value than similar cyber conferences with diverse focus areas\, premier speakers\, and unmatched accessibility. Our core focus is on three things: education\, collaboration\, and innovation. \n\n\n\nThe 2026 National Cyber Summit is enhancing the exhibit hall experience with new features designed to create more meaningful engagement for attendees\, exhibitors\, and sponsors alike. Complimentary expo-only registrations and dedicated exhibit hall time built directly into the agenda will help drive stronger\, more consistent traffic throughout the event. \n\n\n\nNew matchmaking tools within the mobile app will also allow attendees and exhibitors to schedule one-on-one meetings in advance\, supported by designated meeting spaces inside the exhibit hall. These updates are designed to make conversations more intentional\, productive\, and valuable for everyone involved.

SUMMARY:NAC-ISSA October 2026 lunch: OpenAI Agents Hack Hugging Face: Lessons for Agentic AI & Cybersecurity
DESCRIPTION:The July 2026 Hugging Face OpenAI Security Incident illustrates the future of Agentic AI in Cyber Offense and Defense.  Hugging Face detected an intrusion into its production infrastructure by autonomous agents\, but the attacker’s identity was unknown.  OpenAI realized its agents were the attackers only after the incident concluded.  Hugging Face’s own response also relied on support from a Large Language Model.   \n\n\n\nJoin us as Tom Plunkett and Lorin Bales repeat this very popular topic from the National Cyber Summit

SUMMARY:Your Next Consultant Might be Copilot:Building a SOW & RFP
DESCRIPTION:This virtual event is hosted by the Huntsville M365 User Group \n\n\n\nMost AI demos stop at generating content. This one starts there. Nick Brattoli\, Microsoft MVP\, will build AI agent that can help create Statements of Work\, analyze requirements\, respond to RFPs\, and speed up proposal work — plus the pieces that make agents useful in real jobs: knowledge grounding\, prompt design\, governance\, and process automation. You’ll see how to structure instructions\, use organizational knowledge\, and get more consistent AI-generated deliverables. We’ll also cover how the same core patterns can be reused on other business problems so you’re not starting from scratch every time.

SUMMARY:Lema AI sponsors NAC-ISSA November lunch
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, November 10\, for our chapter lunch sponsored by Lema AI.   \n\n\n\nFor years\, Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) has been built around a simple assumption: the greatest risk occurs when a new vendor is introduced into the organization. Security teams perform due diligence\, approve the vendor\, and revisit the relationship months or even years later. Artificial intelligence has fundamentally changed that model. Today’s greatest governance challenge is no longer evaluating new vendors. It is understanding how trusted vendors continuously evolve after they have already been approved. AI copilots\, autonomous agents\, new data-sharing practices\, MCP integrations\, and rapidly changing vendor capabilities are transforming enterprise software faster than traditional review cycles can keep pace. This session explores why AI is reshaping the software supply chain\, how traditional TPRM programs are falling behind\, and what security leaders can do to evolve from periodic assessments to continuous vendor intelligence. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for identifying meaningful vendor changes\, prioritizing risk\, and building security programs that are designed for the pace of AI innovation. \n\n\n\nOur presenter\, Johanns Quiroz\, is a seasoned cybersecurity and technology professional with over two decades of experience helping organizations design\, secure\, and scale modern digital environments. Currently serving in a Sr. Sales Engineer role at Lema AI\, Johanns supports customers across the Southeast\, LATAM\, and the Caribbean\, helping organizations modernize Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) through greater automation\, continuous risk visibility\, and a more proactive approach to identifying and managing third-party risk. He also plays a key role in technical enablement for Lema’s channel partners. Prior to Lema AI\, Johanns held senior technical sales and engineering roles at Wallarm\, where he helped organizations strengthen API and application security by identifying and protecting against emerging API threats\, and at Horizon3.ai\, where he specialized in offensive security and helped organizations proactively identify and mitigate exploitable risk. Johanns also brings deep expertise in enterprise infrastructure\, having spent more than 20 years as a solutions architect designing complex environments across storage\, virtualization\, and cloud technologies. Known for his consultative approach and ability to bridge business and technical stakeholders\, Johanns is passionate about helping organizations stay ahead of evolving cyber threats while enabling innovation and growth.
