How do you secure your future in cybersecurity? By combining AI skills with your existing cyber knowledge. Keatron Evans explains why understanding AI at a deep level helps you see around the corner—knowing where AI will transform cybersecurity and where human expertise remains irreplaceable. There's no shortcut to this skillset, but the path is clearer than you think. Training AI models isn't as complex as it seems when you break it down into repeatable steps. Start with a one-hour exercise, repeat it until the steps become second nature, then dive deeper into each component—whether that's mastering Python, understanding Jupyter Notebooks, or exploring why machine learning practitioners use specific tools. The goal is to get you in immediately and show you what it's actually like to train a model. You'll build the foundation that lets you expand your expertise in whatever direction your career demands. Start training AI models today: https://www.infosecinstitute.com/webinar/agentic-ai-workshop/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=ai+workshop Join our FREE Agentic AI Workshop for hands-on training that bridges the gap between cybersecurity and AI.

Why Every Cyber Pro Needs to Learn AI Model Training Today
Understanding how to exploit large language models is essential to defending against LLM attacks. Keatron Evans walks through the hands-on labs in Infosec's AI security training that teach you to perform prompt injection, jailbreak LLMs, bypass safeguards—and most importantly, detect when these attacks are happening. This isn't theory or video lectures. Every module is a hands-on lab where you'll build chatbots, train models for anomaly detection, develop incident reporting systems, and work with transformer architectures. You'll gain practical experience exploiting AI vulnerabilities so you can effectively protect your organization's AI implementations.

LLM Security: Prompt Injection, Jailbreaks & Defense Strategies
The cybersecurity talent shortage has been a challenge for over a decade. While AI won't solve the entire problem, agentic AI solutions offer a practical way to shrink the gap and help security teams do more with less. Keatron Evans explains how AI agents can augment cybersecurity roles, allowing professionals to cover multiple responsibilities more effectively. Instead of spending 10 hours a week on a secondary role you can't fill, AI agents could reduce that to just an hour or two—freeing you to focus on what matters most. This shift is changing the landscape and narrative of cybersecurity workforce management.

Muhammad Danish (https://www.linkedin.com/in/cs-maestro/) , University of New Mexico lead author and cybersecurity researcher, discussing his team's work on "Private Links, Public Leaks: Consequences of Frictionless User Experience on the Security and Privacy Posture of SMS-Delivered URLs". This paper examines how the push for frictionless user experiences has led many services to rely on SMS-delivered, single-click URLs—an inherently insecure channel that can be intercepted or leaked. Analyzing more than 322,000 unique URLs from 33 million messages, the researchers found widespread security failures, including exposed PII across 701 endpoints at 177 services due to weak, token-based authentication that treats possession of a link as sufficient authorization. The study also identified low-entropy tokens enabling mass URL enumeration and data overfetching issues, though disclosures prompted 18 services to fix flaws, improving privacy protections for at least 120 million users. The research can be found here: • ⁠ (https://censys.com/blog/exploiting-funneling-behavior-of-injects) Private Links, Public Leaks: Consequences of Frictionless User Experience on the Security and Privacy Posture of SMS-Delivered URLs (https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.09232) Learn more about your ad choices.

Uncle Sam needs you, space soldier.
This year's keynote speaker at the 2026 SpaceCom | Space Congress, Brian Miske, America’s Lead for Space at KPMG, joins Maria Varmazis to discuss why space is no longer just the domain of aerospace and defense. It is becoming the foundational digital infrastructure for every sector on Earth and beyond. Brian introduces his "Plus Space" framework—banking plus space, healthcare plus space, insurance plus space—and explains how organizations can capitalize on the rapidly accelerating orbital, lunar, and deep space economies. He outlines the five key drivers of success for a thriving space future: resilience, regulation, risk, reach, and revenue. From orbital data centers to tokenized space assets, from physical AI to biosciences, Brian shares why now is the time to widen your aperture, embrace disruption, and design strategies that bring space into every industry.
