Creating a High-Performance Culture
Leticia Saiid, Chief of Staff & Chief Learning Officer, CoNetrix
Our workload seems to demand more, more, and more, while our resources feel like less, less, and less. Does having a high-performance culture mean we are a bunch of people carefully toeing the line of burnout? I hope not! Burnout is bad for individuals, their companies, the programs they are responsible for, and the people they serve. It can lead us to wonder... what’s in the “magic sauce” of a high-performing culture, one that experiences success without the looming risk of burnout? That’s what we will explore in this keynote session.
Functioning as a coach in a high-performing technology company, Leticia Saiid has observed, studied, and taught the values, habits, and systems that make teams thrive and the ones that take teams straight to burnout. Join this session to hear her findings across three pillars of a high-performing culture. And learn how you can play a part in inspiring and enjoying this kind of culture in any team you join.

The State of Cybersecurity in the Financial Industry
Russ Horn, President, CoNetrix
Ed McMurry, General Manager, CoNetrix Security
Financial institutions are considered a highly regulated and mature sector, as it pertains to cybersecurity, but what does that look like in action? To find out, we surveyed more than 300 cybersecurity professionals who work for community financial institutions. In this session, we will review these survey results and compare them against three prior years of surveys, discuss key takeaways, and share tools and techniques to take your own cybersecurity program to the next level.
Takeaways:
- Understand the value of Board of Director oversight and involvement.
- Know what tools and frameworks are most valued by financial institutions.
- Track key trends that can drive institutions towards or away from a stronger cybersecurity posture.

New Frontiers of Security and Risk: AI and Easy Hacking Tools
Steve Koinm, Pure IT
For decades, technology has accelerated at a predictable pace. Processor speed doubled every 18 months, while graphics speed doubled every 12 months. But now we have introduced Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence engines like ChatGPT, which are doubling in speed, accuracy, and knowledge base every 6 months and accelerating. That evolution will increase the pace of all of the other technologies with it. New tools for pentesting like Flipper Zero and WiFi Pineapples are showing us that things we once thought were secure are not. How do we prepare for this next generation of Risk Mitigation?
