Craig Riddell ()
Bio:
Craig Riddell is the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Lema AI, where he leads security strategy, governance, customer trust, and executive engagement. He partners with enterprise security leaders to help organizations modernize Third-Party Risk Management through continuous risk intelligence, evidence-based decision making, and AI-driven security insights. Craig specializes in the intersection of cybersecurity, AI governance, and third-party risk. As both a practicing CISO and executive advisor, he focuses on helping organizations adapt their security programs to a world where vendors, technologies, and AI capabilities evolve continuously. His work challenges traditional approaches to vendor risk by emphasizing continuous visibility over periodic assessments and helping security teams move from reactive compliance to continuous confidence.
Presentation:
Continuous Vender Intelligence – Modernizing TPRM for the AI Era
Description:
For years, Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) has been built around a simple assumption: the greatest risk occurs when a new vendor is introduced into the organization. Security teams perform due diligence, approve the vendor, and revisit the relationship months or even years later. Artificial intelligence has fundamentally changed that model. Today's greatest governance challenge is no longer evaluating new vendors. It is understanding how trusted vendors continuously evolve after they have already been approved. AI copilots, autonomous agents, new data-sharing practices, MCP integrations, and rapidly changing vendor capabilities are transforming enterprise software faster than traditional review cycles can keep pace. This session explores why AI is reshaping the software supply chain, how traditional TPRM programs are falling behind, and what security leaders can do to evolve from periodic assessments to continuous vendor intelligence. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for identifying meaningful vendor changes, prioritizing risk, and building security programs that are designed for the pace of AI innovation.
Jordan Bonagura ()
Bio:
With more than 20 years of experience in information security, Jordan is passionate about helping companies and clients protect their data and applications from threats and vulnerabilities. As a Principal Security Researcher he had led teams in conducting vulnerability management, risk assessments, penetration tests, and setting up boundaries to be compliant with standards for companies in different segments.
He contributed to significant projects, such as developing an integrated GNSS positioning system and an encryption communication protocol between ground and satellite at the Brazilian National Institute of Space Research. He also had the opportunity to speak at important security conferences around the globe, be a Professor and course coordinator at colleges, and also a consultant for the Brazilian police in crime solving.
Presentation:
When the Robots Start Acting Crazy (A Security Approach)
Description:
In todays rapidly evolving technological landscape, robots are becoming integral to business operations, from Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tools streamlining workflows to Low-Code/No-Code (LCNC) platforms enabling business users to automate processes without deep programming expertise. But what happens when these robots, designed to improve efficiency and reduce human error, start to behave unpredictably? When automation goes awry, it can lead to vulnerabilities, operational disruptions, and even security breaches.
In this session, we will explore the intersection of automation and security, focusing on the risks posed by RPA and LCNC technologies. We'll dive into real-world scenarios where robotic automation goes rogue and examine the potential impact on your organizations data, infrastructure, and compliance posture. From unexpected behavior in automated workflows to security loopholes in custom-built LCNC applications, we'll cover how to recognize, mitigate, and recover from these challenges.
