Executive Summit

SOCs are facing a new reality - attackers are leveraging AI to automate multi-step attacks, outpacing human-driven response and overwhelming traditional workflows. CISOs must reimagine their SOCs to operate at machine speed, integrating AI-driven detection, orchestration, and remediation. How should CISOs transform their SOCs with agentic workflows, closed-loop automation, and continuous red teaming that empowers security teams to contain threats faster and reduce business risk?

Join this session to learn:

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

AI adoption, shrinking certificate lifecycles, and post-quantum readiness are often treated as separate initiatives. In reality, each is placing new demands on the trust infrastructure that underpins the modern enterprise. Organizations that build greater visibility, automation, and adaptability today will be better positioned to reduce operational risk, support innovation, and navigate future cryptographic change.

In this session, you'll explore how to:

• Operationalize AI governance and manage AI-related risk
• Automate certificate discovery and lifecycle management at scale
• Prepare for future cryptographic transitions, including post-quantum cryptography

As AI becomes embedded across cybersecurity operations, leaders face a critical challenge: how to increase productivity and resilience without weakening the human skills that underpin effective security outcomes. While AI can enhance speed and efficiency, organizations must ensure automation strengthens rather than erodes human judgment, critical thinking, and leadership. As cybersecurity roles evolve, how are CISOs redesigning teams, skills, and career paths to harness AI while preserving the capabilities that drive long-term cyber resilience?

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Preserving critical cybersecurity expertise while accelerating AI adoption
• Redesigning roles, career paths, and team structures for human-AI collaboration
• Building trust, governance, and accountability in AI-enabled security operations

Enterprise crises disrupt operations, decisions, and trust. Leaders must act quickly with incomplete information while aligning technology, operations, legal, and communications. Poor coordination amplifies risk and impact. Structured decision frameworks, clear roles, and disciplined communication enable effective response and recovery. 

Join this boardroom discussion to explore:

• Aligning leaders through structured decision‑making
• Coordinating technology operations under pressure
• Communicating impact risk and actions clearly

For years, OT security leaders have operated at the intersection of cyber risk and operational reality, securing technologies that are difficult to inventory, difficult to patch, and too critical to take offline. Today, agentic AI systems and autonomous workflows are surfacing many of the same governance, visibility, and resilience challenges across the enterprise, but in environments that depend on connectivity, integration, and constant change.

As OT and AI increasingly collide, security leaders are confronting a fundamental question: can a security model built for isolated systems keep pace with technologies whose value depends on constant connectivity?

In this discussion, we'll explore:

• What OT leaders have learned about managing risk when technology becomes deeply embedded in business operations
• Where traditional approaches like isolation and segmentation remain valuable, and where they break down in highly connected AI ecosystems
• How organizations are redefining governance, resilience, and operational risk as AI-enabled and operational technologies continue to converge

Presenting to the board is a leadership skill that strengthens with practice. While most security leaders spend significant time building slides and preparing metrics, few have the opportunity to test their message with trusted peers before stepping into the boardroom. This closed-door, peer-led session provides a safe environment to workshop presentations, pressure-test narratives, and receive candid feedback from experienced CISOs who regularly communicate with boards and executive leadership teams.

Join this boardroom to receive practical peer feedback on: 

• Refining board presentations to focus on business outcomes rather than technical details
• Building trust, credibility, and influence with boards and executive leadership
• Strengthening your boardroom presence through peer feedback, practice, and repetition

If you asked for a list of every third-party AI system touching company data today, could anyone produce it? Vendors across every business unit are rapidly embedding generative and agentic AI into products, workflows, and decision-making processes, often with limited customer visibility. As organizations become increasingly dependent on AI they do not own, cannot inspect, or directly control, CISOs must determine how to build resilience and recovery into processes where there may be no human in the loop.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Gaining visibility into the AI systems vendors are using on your organization's behalf
• Defining accountability for autonomous agents, machine identities, and AI-enabled access
• Preparing for the possibility that a vendor's AI exceeds its intended scope and impacts critical business operations

As organizations increasingly rely on AI to identify threats, prioritize risks, and even attack or defend at speeds no human can match, the assumptions that have defined cybersecurity leadership for decades are being rewritten in real time. But while intelligence has become more accessible, accountability has not.

The question is no longer what AI can do, but who remains accountable when it does. Ultimately, organizations will still look to leaders, not machines, to answer for the results, making it essential for CISOs to define ownership, governance, and decision authority before those choices are made around them.

Key takeaways:

• Why refining the problem statement, not adopting the tool, is the leadership act AI cannot replace
• How the accountability gap quietly shifts ownership onto CISOs who never explicitly agreed to hold it, and what to do about it
• What it takes to lead teams, boards, and culture through decisions increasingly shaped by AI
