Option 1 · RSVP on Luma

Fastest path. Goes straight to your calendar, you get reminders automatically, venue drops in 24 hours before. You'll need a Luma account (free).

The talk

10 minutes. No pitch.

The hook

“Seven years. 226 customers. Zero major breaches or ransomware. In a year when one AI can launch 10,000 custom attacks per hour — here’s how that math is still possible.”

Zero breaches in the AI-attack era
The prevention-first playbook — and where Red Canary fits in

Cybersecurity is breaking. AI has industrialized attacks: infinite reconnaissance, personalized phishing at machine scale, zero-day weaponization in hours instead of weeks. The speed of the attack now exceeds the speed of the alert — detection-only stacks can’t keep up. Adding more humans to a SOC is bringing a knife to an AI fight.

Corey walks through the prevention-first model Cyvatar has used to maintain a zero-major-breach, zero-ransomware track record across 226 customers across 7 years — why it matters more, not less, in the AI era, and how the Cyvatar × Red Canary, a Zscaler Company, partnership layers AI-driven SecOps on top for the cases prevention can’t catch alone.

Quick questions

FAQ

Is this really free?

Yes. Red Canary, a Zscaler Company, is underwriting the event. Cyvatar contributes the speaker, the Luma setup, the scorecard access, and the follow-up. No cost to you, no purchase obligation.

Can I bring a colleague?

Please ask first. The room is intentionally small (30 people) so every RSVP needs host approval. Email corey@cyvatar.ai with their name + title.

Where's the venue?

La Jolla — exact address is confirmed 24 hours before the event, after RSVP. We're finalizing between Puesto La Jolla, Sea & Sky at Hotel La Jolla, and a couple other venues depending on final headcount.

What if I can only stay for an hour?

Totally fine. The 10-minute talk is at 6:00 PM and the raffle is at 6:30. Aim for 5:45–6:45 if you can only do one block.

Will this be recorded or live-streamed?

No. The talk isn't recorded. It's an in-room, Chatham-House-rules kind of event — people are more candid that way.

I'm at a vendor. Can I still come?

If Cyvatar partners well with your product (e.g., SentinelOne, Qualys, Halcyon, AWS, Microsoft, ServiceNow) — absolutely. Direct MDR/SASE competitors to Red Canary or Zscaler can't attend, sorry. Ask first if you're unsure.

What do I need to bring?

A business card for the raffle drawing (or just scan the QR at check-in). Dress code is business casual — it's a happy hour, not a board meeting.
