AI’s Mirror Effect — Security for AI and AI for Security
Hosted by NTT DATA
CIOs are feeling AI overload as they navigate a fast-moving landscape of new capabilities, expanding risks and competing investment priorities. At the same time, they face two parallel mandates: ensuring the systems and data behind AI are secure and reliable, and using advanced analytics and automation to strengthen the security of the enterprise itself.
Join this Town Hall to hear panelists discuss:
- The balance of security in a rapid paced enterprise
- Gaining clarity on where to focus
- How to translate emerging technologies into durable and resilient business outcomes
