2026 Be Cyber Savvy Conference

Cyber threats are evolving quickly, driven by AI, new technologies, and increasingly sophisticated attackers. This session will explore the threats having the biggest impact on organizations today, how attacks are changing, and why they matter. You’ll leave with a better understanding of the current threat landscape and practical ways to strengthen your own cyber awareness.

Bell faces many security challenges, from identity attacks and data exposure to the risks that come with emerging technologies. In this session, Bell’s security leadership will explain the company’s security priorities, the strategy behind them, and how employee actions support those goals. You’ll learn how simple daily habits can make a meaningful difference in protecting Bell. 

Bryce Schroeder has spent over 25 years venturing deep into security, pre-sales, and customer trust — but the last 12–18 months have fundamentally changed what he's seen. As VP of Customer Security and Trust at ServiceNow, Bryce returns to share the patterns and stories emerging across the customer landscape — what AI-driven threats and social engineering really look like on the front lines today. Having traveled through decades of evolving threats, he now sits in a rare vantage point: helping secure a platform running at the core of most of the Fortune 500 and speaking weekly with customers facing these threats firsthand. In this session, he brings back hard-won insights about how the security landscape has shifted and what organizations need to do in a world where threats now move faster than humans can react.

People are at the center of many security incidents, whether they are being targeted by attackers or accidentally creating risk themselves. This session will examine both external threats, such as phishing and social engineering, and internal risks, such as data leaks, policy bypasses, and unsafe technology use. You’ll learn how to identify these risks and what you can do to build a stronger security culture. 

AI is creating new opportunities for innovation and productivity, but it is also introducing new security, privacy, and compliance risks. This session will explore how AI changes the threat landscape, what can go wrong when it is used improperly, and why secure adoption matters. You’ll leave with practical guidance for using AI safely while protecting both Bell’s information and your own work. 

As AI becomes more common, protecting and managing data has never been more important. This session will explain how poor data handling, weak governance practices, and unapproved AI tools can increase risk for both employees and the organization. You’ll learn how good data habits help protect sensitive information and support the safe use of AI.

Security is being shaped by powerful trends including AI, quantum computing, evolving regulations, and new approaches to threat detection and response. This panel will explore what these changes could mean for organizations in the coming years and how security programs must adapt. You’ll leave with a better understanding of what the future may hold and the role each of us plays in strengthening cyber resilience.
