Welcome to the RH-ISAC Summit! We’re thrilled to kick-off the conference with a keynote from Jodie Kautt, CISO at Target.
Cyber threats are evolving at unprecedented speed, fueled by AI‑driven automation and increasingly aggressive adversaries. This session explores how adopting a “never waste a good crisis” mindset—using both internal incidents and industry headlines—can help sharpen focus and strengthen cyber programs. While AI dominates the conversation, ransomware, third‑party incidents, and basic vulnerability exploitation continue to drive the majority of breaches. We’ll discuss why the fundamentals remain a competitive advantage and how ruthless prioritization, environment hardening, and improved detection and containment can accelerate program maturity. We’ll also highlight the power of the RH‑ISAC community: real‑time sharing, collective insight, and collaboration.
