Executive Summit

As enterprises rapidly adopt AI agents to enhance automation, productivity, and security, they face a new challenge of significant security risks of misconfigured, overprivileged, or compromised. CIOs and CISOs must rethink identity, access, and trust models to account for non-human actors operating across complex environments with elevated permissions and broad reach.

Join this session to:

• Examine real-world AI-agent-driven incidents and structural vulnerabilities they expose
• Reevaluate identity, access, and trust frameworks at scale
• Explore building layered defenses with governance, continuous monitoring, and human oversight

 By 2026, Gartner predicts that over 80% of enterprises will have implemented generative AI APIs or deployed generative AI-enabled applications in production. While the transformative potential of AI is clear, organizations are at varying stages of maturity in their adoption journey.

According to Gartner, CISOs report that the biggest hurdle to delivering on their mandate isn't budget or technology. It's misaligned or outdated cybersecurity organizational structures. To overcome these challenges, leaders will need to build operating models, partnerships and governance structures that scale with the business and transform cybersecurity into a strategic enterprise function.

As organizations navigate AI, transformation and ever-evolving business demands, CIOs and CISOs must strengthen relationships across the executive team to drive shared objectives. This cross-functional conversation will explore how to align priorities and leadership strategies to expand influence, accelerate decision-making and advance business outcomes.

CIOs and CISOs are facing expanding responsibilities as organizations adopt AI, address cyber threats and modernize operations. Today’s leaders must not only manage a rapidly shifting risk landscape but also deliver meaningful strategic business value.
