Executive Summit

In times of significant change and turbulence, leadership matters more than ever. Yet the most effective CEOs often defy traditional or “celebrity” leadership stereotypes. This session draws on research with C‑suite executives who identified the CEO traits they found most effective in leading through transformation and volatility—traits that consistently correlated with high‑performing leadership teams and strong business outcomes.

Spanning both mindset and behavior, these traits are ones CISOs can intentionally adopt to increase influence, drive execution, and lead security organizations that enable the business.

Join this session to learn:

• Lessons from highly effective CEOs who don’t fit traditional leadership stereotypes
• How leaders drive enterprise culture—often without explicit intent
• How CISOs can adopt CEO‑level traits to strengthen their own leadership impact

Details coming soon.

Communicating with the board isn’t just a skill — it’s a differentiator for today’s security leaders. In this interactive session, executives share real stories of communication wins, how they secured board buy‑in, and the metrics that made their messages resonate.

Join this session to explore:

• Elevating board engagement through clear, compelling narratives
• Securing leadership alignment on high‑impact initiatives
• Defining the right metrics to influence decision‑makers

Executives and their families are now prime targets for converging physical and cyber threats, expanding risk far beyond the corporate perimeter. CISOs must address overlapping vulnerabilities and bridge security silos to protect both personal and professional spheres.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Conducting holistic threat assessments for executive risk
• Bridging IT and physical security teams for unified protection
• Implementing comprehensive strategies for safeguarding leaders

As AI‑assisted experiences and agentic workflows go mainstream, enterprises face new tension between growth teams chasing frictionless experiences and security teams rethinking trust. Verifying users or separating humans from bots is no longer enough — the real question is what kind of actor is interacting and what level of access they should have.

Join this session to explore:

• How the trust decision has shifted from one‑time access checks to continuous intent evaluation
• Connecting behavioral signals, device data, and non‑human actor patterns
• Aligning fraud prevention with business policy

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Peer-to-Peer Meetings. You will be matched with peers in your community based on your shared interests and priorities.

As AI agents start acting across business environments, data becomes the true control surface. These agents require broad access to data, identities, and business processes, creating new risk patterns as sensitive data and outbound actions converge at machine speed. This is a control shift. CISOs must modernize their data approach to adopt agentic AI confidently while maintaining oversight.

Join this session to explore how to:

• Detect emerging risk behaviors in autonomous AI
• Build a data-centric and intent-aware security model
• Establish the CISO as the orchestrator of scalable AI and business growth enabler

Enterprises are facing simultaneous disruptions driven by AI, shrinking certificate lifecycles, and the coming transition to post-quantum cryptography. These converging forces are accelerating the erosion of digital trust, presenting new challenges for CISOs as they work to safeguard organizational resilience. Ensuring AI governance, automating certificate operations and building agility now will help CISOs stay adaptable through immediate and long-term cryptographic changes.

Join this session to hear about:

• Operationalizing AI governance
• Automating certificate lifecycle management
• Building crypto agility to prepare for post‑quantum threats

Security Operations Centers face mounting pressure from talent shortages and escalating threats, but agentic AI offers a transformative solution by amplifying human capabilities and automating critical tasks. By embedding intelligent agents into SOC workflows, organizations can rapidly upskill teams, accelerate response, and bridge the talent gap. Join this session to explore actionable strategies for leveraging AI-driven agents to future-proof your SOC.

Join this boardroom to explore:

• How agentic AI fills the talent gap in SOCs
• Strategies for upskilling teams alongside agent-driven automation
• Preparing your SOC for the coming AI transformation

CISOs are challenged by the growing sophistication of cyberattacks and the increasing complexity of IT environments, making traditional recovery approaches insufficient. Ensuring rapid, reliable recovery is now central to organizational resilience and trust, yet many security leaders struggle to integrate recovery into overall security strategy. Exploring new paradigms in cyber recovery can empower CISOs to proactively safeguard business continuity.

Join this session to explore:

• Integrating recovery into incident response plans
• Assessing cyber resilience beyond prevention
• Bridging gaps between security and IT operations
