Join us for a CIO & CISO conversation on building resilient, scalable security programs in the age of AI.
IT & Cybersecurity leaders are drowning in tools, alerts, and data - yet still struggling to keep pace with modern threats. In this executive-level conversation, we will explore how AI is transforming security operations from reactive monitoring into intelligent, proactive defense.
We’ll discuss how today’s CIOs, CISOs, and IT leaders can move beyond vendor sprawl and false positives to build a more resilient, scalable, and business-aligned security strategy. From real-world threat response to the role of automation, human expertise, and executive accountability, this session focuses on what actually matters in modern cyber defense.
