Mitigating Adverse AI Outcomes and Cyber Insecurity in a Fragmented Risk Landscape

​Drawing on insights from the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2026, this panel explores a world increasingly defined by turbulence, fragmentation, and systemic risk—where the adverse impacts of AI technologies and growing cyber insecurity rank among the most critical long-term threats facing organizations and society. As accelerating AI adoption, geopolitical fragmentation, and widening cyber inequity reshape the global risk landscape, expectations for cybersecurity readiness are being fundamentally redefined. Moderated by Kristina Ayanian, Host at Nasdaq, the discussion brings together leaders at the intersection of AI, security, and infrastructure, including Dr. David Brumley, Chief AI & Science Officer at Bugcrowd, and John Spiegel, CTO Security & HPE Distinguished Technologist at HPE Networking, with an additional industry perspective from Menlo Security. The conversation will focus on what these global risk signals mean in practice—and how security leaders can prepare for what comes next.
