The Silent Spread of AI — And Why You’re Losing Control Over It

AI risk is quietly creeping into every corner of your enterprise, and you don’t even realize it. As more employees adopt AI-powered tools, applications, and processes, it is becoming deeply embedded in your tech stack — but it’s not just your employees using AI. Attackers are also leveraging AI to enhance their own tactics and sharpen their attacks. The real question for CISOs is: Do you have visibility into the countless ways AI is spreading, and what’s the best way to use AI to protect against AI? Join this session to discuss: - The hidden ways AI is entering your enterprise—from third-party tools to shadow AI projects—and why it’s slipping under the radar - How attackers are using AI to improve their attacks and making them harder to detect by both legacy security tools and humans themselves - Actionable steps for CISOs to gain visibility and control over AI use across the organization

Driving AI Breakthroughs Without Compromising Security

Large organizations, despite having significant resources, often encounter unique challenges when attempting to drive transformative innovation. In the context of artificial intelligence (AI), this paradox is particularly evident: traditional operational models, focused on efficiency and security/risk aversion, can inhibit the experimentation required for AI-driven breakthroughs.

This talk explores how large organizations can foster innovation within AI projects by embracing deliberate inefficiency and fostering agile, experimental teams, while working with security and compliance to keep organizations secure. Consider how your organization can balance governance with flexibility, ensuring security and compliance without stifling creativity.

Data Modernization Masterclass

We hear it every day: What got you to 2024 won’t get you to 2034, all your data belongs to modernization! …but what is modernization, how do you know if you need it, and how do you tell how you’re doing along the way? Modernization isn’t a step, but a series of interconnected, overlapping, and conflicting steps. This complexity often leads to gridlock and prevents organizations from progressing, leading to security lapses, service outages, and wasted resources. From collection, to routing and parsing, to storage and retrieval, learn how to assess the value of your data, build a maturity model for your organization, and tie your own initiatives to broader business goals so you can fund your modernization project. In our session, we’ll show you how to measure the maturity of your architecture and engineering at each step in the data journey, determine which areas to address first and take the most important step - the first one.
