Tech Hot Topic: Cybersecurity and the AI Shift, Redefining Defense
AI is reshaping cybersecurity at every level. The speed and scale of adoption are forcing leaders to make faster decisions with bigger consequences. At the same time, AI brings powerful tools for defense while also widening the attack surface. Every new model, agent, and dataset creates both opportunity and exposure, making it essential to rethink how we protect company systems, sensitive data, and customer trust.
This event is designed for CISOs, product leaders, developers, and anyone building or safeguarding technology in this new era. It is a chance to step back, learn from peers, and explore how to prepare for what is coming next.
We will explore:
Evolving Your Cybersecurity Program to Meet the Explosion of Data
How do you evolve your Cybersecurity program to meet this? AI is not only generating more data but multiplying the number of data sources that organizations must monitor and secure. Leaders will discuss how to rethink architecture and incident response when the volume and diversity of data is accelerating faster than traditional approaches can handle.
Cybersecurity Training for Agents
CISOs are well known for stress-testing their teams with simulated attacks. But how do you prepare for autonomous agents, whose role is to gather information, learn from it, and then act on it? Agents bring efficiency, scale, and value for both employees and customers, but they also introduce new pathways for data leakage and misuse. This panel will explore what training, testing, and safeguards might look like when the players are not just people but also machines.
