Organizations are hastily adopting AI technologies, often outpacing their ability to effectively govern them. To address this, leading experts in financial security are convening at the inaugural Converge Cyber + AI Conference organized by SBS CyberSecurity. Scheduled for October 6–7, 2026, in Omaha, Nebraska, the event will feature renowned speakers like KnowBe4 CISO advisor Erich Kron and social-engineering specialist Brian Brushwood. The conference aims to transition security teams and leaders from AI experimentation to secure implementation through 23 sessions focused on governance, technical, and AI tracks.
Designed for financial institutions, fintechs, and other regulated sectors, Converge emphasizes interactive learning over traditional lectures. Participants can engage in AI labs, a live capture-the-flag tournament, and a lockpick village to explore physical security. Open to any organization aiming to develop a secure, AI-driven business, the event promises valuable experiences.
SBS CyberSecurity President Jon Waldman highlights Converge’s interactive nature, emphasizing real-world connections and practical applications. Keynote speakers Kron and Brushwood will deliver insights on human-centered security challenges and the art of social engineering, respectively. Brushwood expressed enthusiasm for the conference’s focus on actionable insights, deeming it an unmissable event.
