The Security Symposium: Defending the Modern Enterprise in the AI and Hybrid Era

Autonomous AI, quantum computing, and hybrid cloud complexity are reshaping enterprise security. Maintaining a defensible posture requires a modern security architecture that begins at the operating system and spans your entire hybrid environment.
At The Security Symposium, join leading industry specialists, CISOs, security architects, and operations teams to explore how to build an Ecosystem of Trust.
What You’ll Learn:
Strategic Vulnerability Management: Modernize patch cycles and CVE management
Establish a Zero Trust foundation with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
Govern Agentic AI with Verifiable Workload Identity
Protect data in use with confidential computing
Prepare for post-quantum cryptography transition
Build a stronger, more resilient security foundation across your hybrid environment with practical guidance for today’s most pressing security challenges. Attend the full symposium or choose the sessions most relevant to your priorities.

Shashank Dixit · RHEL Platform Leader, Red Hat Asia Pacific

Secure heterogeneous workloads across applications, networking, and infrastructure by establishing a proactive defense. To stay ahead of bad actors deploying automated AI threats and quantum decryption capabilities, enterprises must transition from isolated policies to a collaborative ecosystem of trust. In this opening keynote, Shashank Dixit explores how a standard, robust platform delivers the consistent security controls needed to protect your hybrid environment while preserving your freedom of choice

Joel Pauling · Senior Specialist Solution Architect, RHEL, Red Hat Asia Pacific

Vulnerability management across hybrid environments requires a complete lifecycle strategy that carefully balances rigorous security with operational continuity. This session explores the practical, day-to-day challenges of managing vulnerabilities across environments that mix both "self-serve" and fully supported operating models. Discover why chasing "zero CVEs" is a constantly moving target, and get an exclusive preview of an upcoming solution designed to drastically shrink your attack surface using ultra-stripped-down, micro-sized components

Andre Boscatto · Sr. Technical Project Manager, Red Hat

Agentic AI and automated workloads introduce new IAM challenges: establishing trusted identities for agents, controlling what they can access, and ensuring accountability for every action taken. This session explores how Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Identity Management provide verifiable workload identity, centralized authentication, and policy-based access control across hybrid environments. Attendees will learn how unified identity and access management enables organizations to govern agent permissions, meet compliance requirements, reduce access risk, and maintain human accountability as autonomous systems become more prevalent.

Robert Smith · Director of Federal Systems Engineering, Zscaler

In this joint session, Red Hat and Zscaler will outline a practical, scalable Zero Trust architecture, starting at the operating system. Red Hat Enterprise Linux offers a secure foundation for the five Zero Trust pillars (identity, devices, networks, applications & workloads, and data). Zscaler's Zero Trust Exchange securely connects users, devices, and workloads without internet exposure.

Together, these technologies can help customers adopt an integrated approach that reduces the attack surface and simplifies compliance by ensuring that every interaction is continuously verified, from the underlying OS to the final user transaction.

John Buselli · Business Development Executive and Offering Manager, IBM Research

Post-Quantum Cryptography deadlines are approaching faster than most organizations expect. Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides the platform capabilities required for Post-Quantum Cryptography adoption, including crypto agility, policy-driven enforcement, and alignment with emerging standards. This session introduces a four-step, actionable framework for assessing cryptographic exposure, preparing systems for PQC algorithms, and operationalizing the transition—turning looming compliance deadlines into a manageable, phased plan.

Axel Sass · Chief Architect, Field CTO Organization, Red Hat

Dr. Benny Fuhry · Cloud Software Architect, Intel

Protecting sensitive data while actively in use is the next frontier of digital sovereignty and AI security. Join experts from Intel and Red Hat as they outline their joint strategy for Confidential Computing and Confidential AI across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Learn how Intel’s hardware-rooted security innovations, integrated with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), establish secure trusted execution environments (TEEs) that isolate workloads, keep data encrypted during processing, and verify trust through cryptographic attestation. This session will provide key insights into protecting proprietary models, sensitive datasets, and intellectual property throughout the entire AI lifecycle.
