Securing Enterprise AI: A Practical Playbook for Safe AI Adoption
2:00 p.m. ET | Microsoft Teams link to be provided
AI tools are already making their way into everyday work, but many organizations are moving ahead without clear guardrails. Your coworkers may be using AI tools without IT’s knowledge, sharing sensitive information with unapproved applications and creating new security and compliance risks.
Join CDW Canada and Cloudflare during Cybersecurity Awareness Month to look at the security challenges that come with enterprise AI use and discover practical ways to address them. We’ll explore how organizations can use zero trust, data loss prevention and AI security controls to gain greater visibility over AI activity and protect sensitive information.
You’ll learn how to:
- Manage Shadow AI: Learn how CASB and secure web gateway capabilities can help identify and control unauthorized AI tools being used across your organization.
- Strengthen access with zero trust: Explore how ZTNA can provide identity-aware, least-privilege access to AI platforms and internal applications without relying on traditional VPNs.
- Protect sensitive data: See how DLP can help prevent sensitive information, including PII, source code and financial data, from being shared with AI models.
- Simplify your security environment: Understand how bringing capabilities such as secure web gateway, CASB, DLP, ZTNA, browser isolation and AI security together can help reduce technology complexity and costs.
- Govern AI API usage: Learn how AI Gateway can provide greater visibility and control over AI API traffic, including logging, rate limiting, caching and model fallback.
- See governed AI in practice: Get an exclusive look at Cloudflare OS and how an in-browser AI workspace can provide a more controlled environment for enterprise AI adoption.

Infrastructure Planning in Uncertain Times: Balancing Capacity, Cost and Supply Chain Risk
2:00 p.m. ET | Microsoft Teams link to be provided
When infrastructure demand grows, the instinct is often to add more capacity. But without clear visibility into utilization trends, organizations may invest in new hardware before understanding what can be optimized, reclaimed or better aligned within their existing environment.
Join us on October 15 at 2 p.m. ET, when Randy Evans, Principal Hybrid Infrastructure Solution Architect at CDW Canada, will explore what your infrastructure data can reveal before you invest in more capacity.
You’ll learn how CDW’s CARA assessment can help identify opportunities to:
- Optimize compute, memory, storage and virtualization resources
- Improve performance and reduce unnecessary infrastructure spend
- Prevent avoidable hardware purchases
- Build a practical capacity roadmap for AI readiness, data growth and modernization

How Cisco Helps Organizations Secure AI Without Slowing Adoption
2:00 p.m. ET | Webex link to be provided
Securing AI is new territory and the stakes are high. Canadian organizations are looking for guidance on what to worry about, what to govern and what to do first. CDW Canada and Cisco can assist with advisory work, including governance and risk assessments, control gap analysis and phased planning.
Join us for a practical discussion on securing AI in the enterprise. We’ll separate the marketing narrative around AI security from the outcomes organizations can actually achieve this year and map Cisco’s portfolio to the decisions you need to make as you open access to AI tools, host your own models and start putting agents in front of internal data.
In just 60 minutes, you’ll get:
- A clearer view of AI security risks: From unsanctioned tools and data exposure to AI agents accessing internal systems.
- A practical approach to security planning: Assess gaps, establish governance and prioritize what to address first.
- Strategies for securing AI infrastructure: Explore networking, segmentation and visibility for AI workloads.
- Better protection for private applications: Apply targeted access controls to internal apps, models and agent services.
- Safer AI usage: Maintain visibility and control over the data entering and leaving AI tools.
- A plan for next steps: Turn your current AI security gaps into a phased approach.

Going Passwordless with YubiKeys: A Playbook for Deploying Passkeys at Scale
2:00 p.m. ET | Microsoft Teams link to be provided
Moving to passwordless authentication can strengthen security, but a successful rollout requires careful planning across technology, policies, logistics and user experience.
Join CDW Canada and Yubico during Cybersecurity Awareness Month for a practical discussion on deploying passkeys at scale. You’ll learn how to approach the challenges of moving away from legacy MFA methods such as SMS and OTP while supporting a smooth rollout for your organization.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss:
- Migration strategy: Explore how to transition from legacy MFA methods such as SMS and OTP to hardware-backed passkeys without disrupting productivity.
