Point‑in‑time security was designed for a world that changed slowly, but today’s environments don’t stand still.
Most programs still rely on annual penetration tests, quarterly vulnerability scans, and periodic audits to “prove” they’re secure—while attackers are continuously scanning, exploiting misconfigurations, and chaining minor gaps into real attack paths.
Hosts Shahin Pirooz, WhiteDog founder, and Brian Moody, WhiteDog channel chief, unpack why the gap between how often you check and how often your environment changes has become a critical risk in itself.
In tools like Microsoft 365, users can enable AI agents in just a few clicks—agents that see what users see, act on their behalf, and operate with their identity—often without IT in the loop.
Hosts Shahin Pirooz, WhiteDog founder, and Brian Moody, WhiteDog channel chief unpack how shadow AI agents are emerging in real environments, why traditional shadow IT playbooks fall short, and what “good” governance looks like.
If you’re a CIO or IT leader, you’ll walk away with a clear mental model for shadow agents—and a practical 30-day strategy to discover them, govern them, and turn them into a competitive advantage instead of a lurking liability.
2026 is shaping up to be the year AI agents and automation emerge as a new class of insider threat in the enterprise.
AI copilots, digital workers, and autonomous agents are quietly becoming the new “employees” inside organizations—reading email, touching production systems, moving data, and making decisions at machine speed.
But what happens when those agents are over-privileged, misconfigured, or hijacked by an attacker?
Hosts Shahin Pirooz, WhiteDog founder, and Brian Moody, WhiteDog channel chief, break down how “helpful” automation becomes an insider risk—and share a practical checklist for securing the digital employees already inside your environment.
Modern cyberattacks are no longer breaking in through obvious cracks. They’re walking in through trusted pathways. And that's a problem.
Hosts Shahin Pirooz, WhiteDog founder, and Brian Moody, WhiteDog channel chief discuss how dynamic threats bypass signature tools, gateways, and static defenses.
From browser extensions (like ShadyPanda) and software updates to identity systems and cloud platforms, today’s threats exploit the gap between static trust models and constantly evolving risk. Once access is granted or a vendor is considered “verified,” most security controls assume safety.

When the internet was designed, it was built for openness, connection, and collaboration—not security. Its architects assumed trust, prioritized interoperability, and never imagined the hostile environment it would become.
Fast forward to today: that original design has become our biggest liability. Over half of all internet traffic is now bots—and more than a third of it is malicious, automated, and often invisible.
Traditional defenses can’t keep up with today’s threats, making Zero Trust essential to replace implicit trust with continuous, context-aware verification.
💡 Join this session to explore:
◆ How the internet’s foundation created today’s security challenges
◆ Why Zero Trust is the only path forward in a bot-dominated world
◆ Practical ways to ensure digital trust across users, devices, and data
You’ll leave with actionable insights to strengthen verification, sustain trust, and secure your organization in an increasingly automated, adversarial world.

AI is rewriting the rules of cybersecurity, and MSPs are on the front lines. In this Sound Bytes session, we'll unpack how AI-powered threats like phishing, deepfakes, and evasive malware are outpacing legacy defenses—and what MSPs must do to keep up.
We’ll explore how automation is becoming the new differentiator: enabling faster detection, smarter response, and scalable compliance in an environment where attacks are constant and resources are tight.
You’ll walk away with insights, strategies, and real-world examples to help you build an AI-ready practice that protects clients, reduces risk, and strengthens your competitive edge.
Key Takeaways:
► What AI-driven attacks look like in the wild—and how to spot them
► How automation transforms threat response and compliance
► Strategies to deliver stronger security outcomes without growing headcount or burning out your team
► Lessons from MSPs already scaling with AI and automation

Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever—and static defenses are no longer enough. As global cybercrime costs approach $10.5 trillion, IT providers, consultants, and solutions architects must rethink how they build and sustain resilience.
In this educational livestream, we’ll explore a practical framework for cyber resilience that emphasizes continuous improvement over one-time fixes. You’ll learn how to:
✓ Identify the core components of an evergreen security posture
✓ Align resilience strategies with evolving AI-driven threats and regulatory demands
✓ Apply real-world examples to strengthen client defenses and trust
Whether you're advising clients or leading internal security initiatives, this session will equip you with actionable insights to future-proof your approach and foster long-term resilience.

Traditional XDR platforms, often tied to a single vendor, can’t keep up. No one manufacturer offers best-in-class tools across every layer, and what qualifies as “best” shifts as adversaries adapt.
Meanwhile, incident response is too often treated as an afterthought or expensive add-on.
That’s the delta 𝚫DR was built to close: the critical gaps between protection, detection, and response across all five key threat vectors.

While executive protection is tables stakes; today’s cyber threat landscape demands a broader perspective.
There is no longer an edge, every employee—not just those in leadership—is now a potential attack vector.
Bottom line: true security means protecting everyone. Threat actors aren’t targeting titles—they’re looking for the easiest way in.🐾
