Modern CISO Connect: Zombie Tools & the AI Build Trap
Hosted by Caleb Sima
Sponsored by Relyance AI
2025 was the year AI went from pilot to production at scale, and the year we all started building tools faster than we could maintain them. Now it's time to compare notes on what actually delivered value versus what became expensive technical debt.
Join Caleb Sima and an intimate group of security leaders for an honest conversation about navigating the Build vs. Buy decision in the AI era. No vendor pitches, no presentations—just elite practitioners sharing real experiences about zombie tools, hidden OpEx, and what actually worked.
What We'll Discuss
What delivered measurable value vs. what became unmaintainable liabilities
Which vendor solutions justified their price tag
The hidden costs of "free" internal tools and career-driven development
How to avoid the AI Build Trap in 2026
