Executive Summit

As cyber risk becomes increasingly tied to business performance, CISOs must drive outcomes through leaders outside the security organization. Success requires more than authority. It depends on building credibility, understanding stakeholder priorities, challenging assumptions, and framing security issues in business terms that inspire action. This session explores practical strategies for influencing decisions, creating urgency, and gaining commitment across the enterprise.

Join this discussion to learn how to:

• Gain commitment for security initiatives from leaders balancing competing business priorities
• Reframe security challenges in business that motivate action and support enterprise risk reduction
• Influence decisions, build urgency, and drive change effectively, even without direct authority

As operational technology environments become increasingly connected, organizations are facing new cybersecurity challenges that blur the traditional boundaries between IT and OT. At the same time, critical infrastructure operators must balance security, safety, reliability, and regulatory demands while navigating rapid technological change, including the rise of AI and industrial digitization. Effective alignment of people, processes, and technologies helps reduce vulnerabilities, improve operational continuity, and protect mission-critical assets.

Join this session to discuss:

• Shifting of OT security to the CISO
• Aligning IT/OT, culture, risk, and governance
• Building a mature and resilient converged cybersecurity programs

As organizations accelerate AI adoption, security leaders are being asked to support innovation while maintaining control over sensitive data. Many AI initiatives are revealing longstanding challenges around data visibility, access governance, oversharing, and policy enforcement. The organizations that successfully scale AI will be those that establish trust in the data, controls, and governance frameworks that underpin it. 

Join this roundtable to discuss: 

• Assessing confidence in AI data visibility and identifying barriers to secure adoption 

• Bridging the gap between AI policy and employee behavior, including shadow AI 

• Enabling AI innovation while maintaining security without being restrictive 

Post-quantum migration has officially shifted from a theoretical threat to an urgent operational mandate. With finalized NIST standards and pressing regulatory deadlines, CISOs must audit legacy infrastructure, protect long-lived secrets, and hold software vendors accountable — all without disrupting core business operations. This session cuts through the Q-Day hype to deliver a practical, executive-level framework for building cryptographic agility and mitigating supply chain exposure before compliance windows close.

Join this session to explore:

• Mapping high-risk assets, long-lived keys, and vulnerable authentication flows across your ecosystem with targeted asset discovery
• Defining essential PQC readiness criteria for software vendors and third-party partners for supply chain accountability
• Implementing pragmatic strategies to modernize encryption layers for future architectural agility

Agentic AI is transforming organizational productivity and revenue but introduces new security and governance challenges. Without traditional onboarding, AI agents can move data unsupervised, use tools maliciously, and create "shadow AI" risks beyond IT’s view. Organizations need a centralized control plane for comprehensive visibility and control across all environments, replacing outdated infrastructure and ensuring secure AI adoption.

Join this session to discover:

• Establishing centralized control for agentic AI
• Managing agentic posture and non-human identities
• Enabling secure governance for safe AI operations

According to the International Data Corporation, the number of AI identities is expected to reach 1.3 billion in just two years. Yet many organizations don’t secure AI identities effectively, granting excessive access and relying on outdated, slow processes.

Join this session to learn how to:

• Identify gaps in agent access visibility, ownership, and governance
• Address the unique challenges of identity security in AI environments
• Build scalable identity foundations to enable innovation and efficiency

As AI agents begin making decisions, accessing systems, and acting on behalf of employees, organizations face a new challenge: balancing trust with control. For CISOs, the question is no longer just who has access, but how to establish accountability, governance, and sovereignty over non-human identities operating across the enterprise. What happens when access is no longer limited to people?

Join this roundtable for a discussion on:

• Using identity to establish trust without sacrificing oversight and sovereignty
• Strengthening security, governance, and accountability as non-human identities scale
• Auditing and governing agent activity through policy, visibility, and oversight
