Tools got adopted, workflows changed, and most organizations inherited a security problem that had been building for years. Nearly half of organizations now say they aren't adequately prepared for AI-powered threats, and the knowledge simply hasn't caught up to the pace of deployment.
Beyond Intelligence is a free on-demand seminar, built for security leaders and business decision-makers navigating the security decisions AI adoption is requiring every organization to make.
Four sessions cover what the AI threat landscape looks like right now, how to govern adoption before it outpaces your security program, what technical controls to put in place and where, and how to build a culture where secure AI usage holds steady.

Cody Kretsinger
Director of Security Research
Cody Kretsinger, Director of Security Research, begins by mapping the real AI threat landscape: what the risks are, what they aren't, and which myths are keeping organizations from building a security program that addresses the right problems in the right places. He cuts through the misconceptions and covers what the next wave already looks like, so the rest of the seminar builds on something concrete rather than assumed.
Collin Page
CISSP, Security Advisor
Collin Page has over 10 years of experience in cybersecurity, with a focus on regulated industries including healthcare and finance. He helps organizations understand the deeper meaning behind penetration test findings, translating technical vulnerabilities into clear, actionable insights so they can prioritize risk, strengthen their defenses, and prepare for potential incidents with confidence.
Aidan Brown
Security Analyst
Aidan Brown works at the intersection of threat intelligence, security research, and practical strategy. His background is in hands-on experience, not theory, and that perspective shapes everything from his threat research to the security awareness work he does. Aidan helps security teams and the businesses they protect focus on the threats that matter and explains the technical reality in terms that both engineers and executives can act on.
Seth Loe
CISSP, President and Chief Security Officer
Good policy doesn't enforce itself. Seth Loe, Galactic's President and Chief Security Officer, addresses why people work around security requirements and how leadership changes that. Drawing on two decades at the intersection of security and executive decision-making, he walks through what it takes to build a security culture that holds, one where secure AI usage is practiced at every level rather than mandated from the top and quietly ignored everywhere else.
01
The AI Threat Landscape: What's Real, What's Hype, What's Next
Cody Kretsinger, Principal Security Advisor
Principal Security Advisor Cody Kretsinger opens the day by mapping exactly what attackers are doing with AI right now: how they're moving faster, hitting vulnerabilities your existing controls weren't built for, and running campaigns at a scale older defenses weren't designed to handle. He separates genuine risk from noise and covers what the next wave already looks like, so the rest of the day starts from an accurate picture rather than a general one.
02
Built to Enable: Aligning AI Governance with Business Goals
Collin Page, CISSP, Security Advisor
Shadow AI gets most of the attention, but it's not the only problem. Collin Page, CISSP, focuses on the decision layer underneath it: who approves new tools, what data those tools can access, and where accountability sits when something goes wrong. He walks through governance structures that move well past acceptable use policies and into the controls that keep AI adoption from outpacing oversight.
03
Locking It Down: Building the Technical Controls That Mitigate AI Risk
Aidan Brown, Senior Security Advisor
Galactic's Senior Security Advisor Aidan Brown draws on years of hands-on threat research and penetration testing, and this session is built around what that work produces. He covers the specific technical controls needed at each layer — model, agent, data exposure, access control — and explains why each one matters. Concrete, implementation-focused, and built for teams ready to act on what the morning covered.
04
Leadership Strategy: A Culture of AI Security
Seth Loe, CISSP, Chief Security Officer
Good policy doesn't enforce itself. Chief Security Officer Seth Loe addresses the part no framework covers: why people work around security requirements and how leadership changes that. Drawing on two decades at the intersection of security and executive decision-making, he walks through what it takes to build a security culture that holds. One where secure AI usage is practiced at every level rather than mandated from the top and quietly ignored everywhere else. This final session is the culture-building playbook.
05
Panel Q&A
All presenters come together to answer audience questions on AI threats, governance, technical controls, and security culture.
Who This is For
This seminar is designed for security leaders, IT managers, and business decision-makers who are responsible for how their organization uses and secures AI. You don't need a technical background to get value from it. The sessions are built to be clear for practitioners and executives alike.
Document Integrity Checker Skill
A skill for your AI model of choice that analyzes documents and artifacts for suspicious content before your team acts on it.
Trust but Verify Skill
A skill that cross-checks AI-generated claims against verifiable sources, so your team isn't building decisions on information that hasn't been validated.
The People vs. AI Skill
A use case evaluator that runs proposed AI activities against your organization's guardrails and flags anything that falls outside approved boundaries.
AI Governance Builder Package
A starting point for the documentation every organization needs around AI governance, built to adapt to your specific requirements.
Technical Controls Guide
A practical checklist of the security controls your stack should have in place at every layer of AI risk.
The Beyond Intelligence Playbook Skill
An interactive project for applying everything covered in the sessions. It assesses where you stand on AI security, builds a prioritized roadmap, and keeps a running record to return to.
