What in the Actual Cyber?! 2026 in Review
December 9 @ 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm EDT
Feeling rick-rolled by 2026? So are we.
Just when we thought we had this whole cybersecurity thing figured out, 2026 said, “Hold my energy drink.”
Attackers rewrote the rules. AI kicked over the table. Half the industry panicked — the other half claimed they’d predicted it all along.
What in the Actual Cyber?! 2026 in Review is your chance to cut through the hype with four free hours of risks, rants, and rabbit trails from the Black Hills Information Security crew.
We’ll show you the attack techniques that kept working all year, how AI-assisted SOC analysts fought back, what actually mattered in the biggest cybersecurity stories of 2026, our take on the Great AI Escape(s), and the security fundamentals that refused to die. We’ll even peek over the CISO’s shoulder and talk about what’s waiting for us in 2027.
On December 9, grab your favorite beverage, pull up a chair next to the dumpster fire, and join thousands of defenders, hunters, and hackers as we make sense of the chaos before diving headfirst into whatever 2027 throws at us.
