SUMMARY:ISSA Sacramento Valley Chapter Meeting - 3/20/2026 - Using AI for Security Tasks
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Steven Templeton\, Ph.D. \nTopic: “Using AI for Security Tasks” \nSynopsis: This month’s talk is one you’ll want to bring your laptop to. \nAI is changing what’s possible in security — for defenders and attackers alike. This session focuses on the practical side: what you can start using today\, and what you should expect to be used against you. \nOn the defensive side\, we’ll look at how AI can compress the parts of your workflow that eat the most time — log triage\, threat intel\, alert analysis\, detection rule writing — and demonstrate some of these live. On the offensive side\, we’ll get honest about how attackers are already using the same tools to scale phishing\, accelerate reconnaissance\, and generate evasive malware. \nThe session includes live demos and a hands-on exercises\, so expect to participate\, not just watch. It will work best if you have an account on one of the LLMs (ChatGPT\, Claude\, Grok\, Gemini\, …) \nAlso download these demo files: https://www.securereasoning.com/ISSA/260320/demo-files.zip \nSpeaker Bio: Steven Templeton is a cybersecurity consultant\, educator\, and former wildlife biologist who brings over 25 years of experience blending technology\, security\, and creativity. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Security from UC Davis\, has worked extensively in industrial control system (ICS) security and compliance\, and currently teaches in the cybersecurity engineering graduate program at the University of San Diego. Steven has a knack for making complex ideas approachable — from machine learning to Splunk to AI-based roleplaying tools for cryptography students. \nMeeting Details: This will be a hybrid meeting (both in-person and on-line). You may attend remotely via Zoom (see below) or attend in person at Capsity\, 3808 Broadway\, Sacramento CA. Lunch will be provided to in-person attendees. \nPlease register for the meeting below.  \nYou don’t have to be a member of ISSA to attend our meetings (but we encourage you to join us!). Please share information about this meeting with your friends and colleagues who have an interest in information security. \nThis is hybrid meeting on Zoom and in-person. \nZoom link:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/84186623031?pwd=EtHkuqg0it61fhLsaZIpC8aCHldHG9.1 \nMeeting ID: 841 8662 3031\nPasscode: 668146

SUMMARY:ISSA Sacramento Valley Chapter Meeting - 5/15/2026 - Using AI for Security Tasks\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Steven Templeton\, Ph.D. \nTopic: “Using AI for Security Tasks\, Part 2” \nSynopsis: Steven Templeton returns to show us even more ways to use AI to accomplish security tasks. If you missed his first talk in March\, don’t worry. He will briefly review what he covered last time to bring you up to speed. Then he will demonstrate more uses of AI\, such as generating (and detecting) phishing attacks and code review. \nHere’s the description from last time: \nAI is changing what’s possible in security — for defenders and attackers alike.

SUMMARY:ISSA Sacramento Valley Chapter Meeting - 8/21/2026 - AI Governance
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Adeel Shaikh Muhammad\, Adeel Solutions LLC \nTopic: “The AI Governance Gap: Reducing Cyber Risk Without Slowing Innovation” \nSynopsis:  AI is quickly becoming part of everyday business operations\, security workflows\, and decision-making\, but many organizations are still trying to understand how to govern it in a practical way. This session will explain how cybersecurity and risk leaders can approach AI governance without turning it into a slow\, theoretical\, or compliance-only exercise. \nThe talk will cover the real cyber risks introduced by AI adoption\, including shadow AI\, data exposure\, model misuse\, third-party risk\, and overreliance on automation. It will also share practical ways to align AI governance with existing security programs\, SOC operations\, risk management\, and executive reporting. Attendees will leave with clear ideas they can apply immediately to reduce AI-related risk while still supporting innovation and business speed. \nSpeaker Bio: Dr. Adeel Shaikh Muhammad is a cybersecurity consultant\, author\, researcher\, and speaker focused on AI governance\, security operations\, and practical cyber risk reduction. His work focuses on helping organizations adopt AI responsibly while strengthening cybersecurity maturity\, SOC effectiveness\, and board-level risk visibility. \nHe is the author of AI-Driven Transformation of the SOC and SecOps and works across cybersecurity strategy\, governance\, compliance\, and emerging technology risk. Adeel regularly speaks on responsible AI\, AI security\, cyber risk\, and the evolving role of security leaders in an AI-driven world. \nMeeting Details: The meeting place (in-person location and Zoom info) will be announced closer to the meeting day. \nPlease register for the meeting below.  \nYou don’t have to be a member of ISSA to attend our meetings (but we encourage you to join us!).
