    9:00 am - 3:00 pm
    Your CEO just asked about AI security.  Do you have a clear answer?
    While you’re counting vulnerabilities, your competitors are deploying AI at scale.
    While security teams are still cataloging vulnerabilities, business units are deploying AI at scale. Marketing is using generative AI for campaigns. Sales is rolling out AI SDRs. Customer service is automating with chatbots.
    Every Monday, another department launches an AI tool. Marketing uses ChatGPT for campaigns. Sales deploys AI Sales Development Reps. Customer service automates with chatbots.  And your cybersecurity team? Still writing policies nobody reads.
    In this interactive workshop, learn you how to secure AI while accelerating innovation—not blocking it. Transform from AI Firefighter to Strategic Business Enabler, with a 90-day roadmap for secure AI deployment in your organization.

From managing risk and influencing the business to building trust, leading teams, and responding to inevitable incidents, the discussion will focus on the enduring lessons that remain relevant—regardless of the tools, platforms, or trends of the moment.

    Attendees are encouraged to shape the conversation by asking live questions, sharing reflections, and sharing real-world scenarios. Whether the topic is AI, cloud, ransomware, or the next unknown disruption, this session offers perspective grounded in experience—and a reminder that while technology evolves, the fundamentals of security leadership remain surprisingly constant.

    Join us for an honest conversation, shared learning, and a thoughtful end to the day before we continue the discussion at happy hour.
