Rethinking the Relationship Between Cybersecurity Teams and the People They Protect
You’ve heard it all before: the DBIR tells you people are your biggest risk, phishing simulations tell you your users fall for social engineering, and simple security measures you deploy are sometimes met with howls of protest. But what if it didn’t have to be that way?
Join this session for a fresh perspective on:
Law & Order — Cross Examining AI's Legal Boundaries
As AI technologies rapidly evolve, the laws and ethical standards designed to govern them lag behind, creating a mismatch in the pace of innovation and regulation. This misalignment often leads to inadequate alignment with core principles such as trustworthiness, safety, and ethics. For AI leaders, mastering governance strategies that drive alignment with these core principles is key to ensuring the organization's risk profile is effectively managed.
Join AI, cybersecurity, and IP law expert Eran Kahana as he offers actionable insights on:
Intelligent Content Management ― Building an Unstructured Data Strategy
Unstructured data is the essence of your business — files like product roadmaps, financial spreadsheets, customer surveys and employee records. Fragmented content across the business leads to security risks and high costs, making AI integration seem impossible. However, intelligent content management makes an AI-powered content strategy feasible.

Delivering business critical applications safely is a delicate balancing act.

Unfortunate trade-offs are sometimes necessary to address operational needs for the sake of maintaining security, but these trade-offs can make certain use cases unfeasible or diminish their value to the organization.
In this session, we will discuss:
