Nord to Speak on AI‑Driven Identity at Charlotte ISSA

On July 23, the Charlotte Metro chapter of ISSA turns its regular monthly gathering into a full‑scale professional development day at Microsoft’s Charlotte Office, pairing a morning slate of expert cybersecurity talks with an afternoon, instructor‑led Linux security and threat‑hunting workshop.

Archetype SC is in the middle of the action. Vice President of Professional Services Patrick Nord will speak on why, in the age of AI, identity now includes every user, system, service account, and autonomous agent, not just people. His session looks at today’s AI moment through an identity lens, covering zero‑trust essentials, data‑security priorities, and a modern identity strategy. Attendees will leave with a clear grasp of the key issues and practical steps they can begin applying within their organizations. He’s excited to compare notes on how organizations are broadening the idea of identity beyond people and to pass along insights from recent real‑world projects.

Patrick’s session joins a morning agenda that tackles Active Directory recovery, ransomware defense, and post‑quantum readiness, setting the stage for hands‑on learning when the group shifts to the afternoon workshop. Throughout the day, the Archetype SC team will be available for one‑on‑one conversations about NIST‑aligned risk assessments, vulnerability management, and pragmatic steps for operationalizing AI securely.
