PANEL DISCUSSION

Winning Cybersecurity Conversations in an AI-Driven Threat Landscape 

Monday, September 28, 2026
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM ET

AI is speeding up two things at once: how fast businesses can move, and how fast threats can hit them. Clients feel that speed, and they're bringing sharper questions to the people they trust for answers.

Most partners weren't trained for those questions. When a client asks how AI changes their risk and the answer is a shrug, the deal stalls, or it walks.

Justin Shanken gave this talk once already, to a full room at the Telarus Partner Summit on August 12. On September 28,  we’re making the talk public, with further insights from Dave Dyas, so partners who missed it (or those who want to catch it again) can get the same session. 

What You'll Get

This is for partners who've had a client ask an AI security question they couldn't fully answer, and for anyone who wants real examples instead of guesses.

• How AI is changing attacks and defenses
• How to connect cybersecurity to business continuity and operational resiliency
• Where the opportunity is opening up across managed services and compliance work

Clients are asking sharper questions about AI and security than they were a year ago. Partners who can answer with real examples are the ones keeping the deal in the room.
