Webinar: Proactive Cybersecurity in the AI Era
AI has transformed the operations of both attackers and defenders. In August 2026, we’re hosting a free webinar on cybersecurity in the current threat landscape.
The webinar is designed for decision-makers and IT management in SME organizations who want to understand the minimum level of protection for their organization—without which no other investment will deliver results.
We’ll review the current threat landscape without fearmongering, then cover the concrete actions that SME organizations should take.
From threat landscape to concrete actions:
- What the threat landscape looks like for SME organizations in 2026
- Observations and the most common cases from the field
- Patch management and why it remains critical
- Logging and monitoring from an SME perspective
- System hardening in Microsoft 365 environments
- Change management without heavy processes
- Evaluating partners and vendors
- Understanding your own IT environment and data
- The role of AI in defense and as an attacker’s tool
- Checklist: minimum requirements for protecting your organization
True to Above IT’s style, the webinar includes practical examples, tips from experienced experts, and concrete actions to help you get the basics right.
