Executive Summit

AI is everywhere, but true value remains elusive for many organisations. Often, it’s the human side of the equation rather than technology readiness that lags behind, leading to stalled adoption and unrealised ROI. Tech leaders must look beyond deployment to address the human barriers that determine success. Join Rob O’Donohue, VP Analyst at Gartner, as he shares strategies for driving AI adoption that put people at the centre. 

Hear more on: 

• Why AI initiatives fail when leaders overlook human factors and focus only on technical deployment
• How using human-first language and co-creation with employees can drive cultural change
• How to overcome AI’s perfection paradox and manage behavioural byproducts to unlock sustainable value

Frontier AI and emerging agentic systems are reshaping enterprise risk faster than traditional governance can respond. CIOs and CISOs now face an attack surface defined not only by external threats but by internal, autonomous AI workflows deployed at speed—often without visibility, guardrails, or accountability. Frontier‑class models can be used not just defensively but diagnostically, continuously probing an organisation’s AI landscape to expose governance gaps, shadow systems, and unsafe autonomy. Leaders can blend data‑driven oversight with culture‑driven responsibility to build governance that keeps pace with AI’s velocity.

Join this session to learn:

• How advanced models uncover hidden agentic workflows and governance gaps before attackers do
• How to replace slow, periodic reviews with real‑time, AI‑driven validation of controls and identity boundaries
• Building a culture where every employee strengthens your AI‑driven security posture

CISOs have moved beyond AI experimentation. Now, executives ask: Are 2026’s investments actually reducing risk? The challenge is how to operationalise AI against evolving threats — particularly the rise of sophisticated social engineering attacks — and prove its value. Join this session to discuss: 

• Reducing high-risk incidents — from fraud to emerging human-centric threats
• Embedding AI into core security operations for proactive defense
• Demonstrating measurable security improvements with actionable metrics

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.

Security operations centres (SOCs) are facing a new reality - attackers are leveraging AI to automate multi-step attacks, outpacing human-driven response and overwhelming traditional workflows. Organisations must reimagine their SOCs to operate at machine speed, integrating AI-driven detection, orchestration, and remediation. How should CIOs and CISOs transform their SOCs to empower security teams to hunt and contain threats faster and reduce business risk?

Join this session to learn:

• Integrating AI-driven detection and automated response workflows
• Operationalising continuous red teaming for proactive threat hunting
• Accelerating containment and remediation to reduce business risk
