Exam Security Power Hour: Human Centric, AI Forward, and Security Aware

Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 10:15 AM - 11:45 AM
Ballroom DE

Trust in your credentials and the validity of exam scores depends in part on the security of your testing assets and the delivery process. This session will address the growth in commercial cheating services and efforts to undermine exam integrity. Together, we’ll explore sophisticated AI-powered tools and wearables, proxy testing services, floating browsers and the methods being used to develop, sell, and distribute these services. We will then pivot to address the importance of strong partnerships across information security, exam security and legal capabilities to address these services, as well as efforts the industry can employ to deter, detect, and decide how to respond to these threats. From hands-on stations to experience these tools to practical solutions and actionable steps to preserve integrity and score validity, this is a session that you won’t want to miss.
