Cyber Guardrails for the AI Era
AI is transforming cybersecurity. On the offensive side, agentic and autonomous capabilities could become a powerful weapon to find new vulnerabilities and overwhelm organizations.
This puts additional pressure on the defensive side, requiring integration between data, development, and security like never before. Whack-a-mole won’t cut it. We need systems and workflows that identify and solve issues early, at scale, as part of the build, not after.
Join us to hear from innovators bringing novel approaches in areas like data governance, compliance, and interoperability that will make or break cybersecurity in the AI era.
This event has been organized in accordance with U.S. Department of Defense and Congressional guidelines for widely attended events and gatherings.
