Executive Summit

As cybersecurity attacks increase in sophistication, the financial and reputational impact for companies has never been more pronounced. CISOs responsible for navigating a company through a data breach, the stakes are even higher. CISOs confront significant personal civil and criminal liability in connection with their handling of breaches and associated disclosures. This raises serious concerns not only for CISOs, but also for companies’ abilities to secure expert personnel to safeguard their data and systems.

Join this keynote to discuss:

• Protecting executives on the front lines of cybersecurity incidents
• Implementing best practices aimed at reducing the potential liability of key stakeholders 
• Managing liability risks which includes how to work with the Board and the broader executive team

Sensitive data movement can be risky but restricting it outright can create operational and security challenges. In an era of agentic AI, generative AI, and emerging quantum computing, organizations need security frameworks that protect data while ensuring agility. This session explores how modern security platforms enable secure data flow, adapt to diverse use cases and prepare for the post-quantum encryption (PQE) shift.

Join this keynote to learn:

• How to choose the right secure access method for each use case
• Why security must be adaptive to risk, user behavior and AI-driven interactions
• How to prepare for post-quantum encryption and its enterprise security impact

 The rise of Agentic AI is increasing risks and complexities for Non-Human Identities (NHIs) in cloud environments. AI agents need extensive NHI access, posing new challenges in identity governance and security.

Join this roundtable to discuss:

• Exponential NHI growth impacting security
•  Management of AI access models and permissions
•  Complex AI interactions affecting identity management

Your career trajectory is shaped by more than just your achievements—how others perceive your executive presence can open doors or close them. Personal branding is about consciously shaping those perceptions. Are you aware of how others see you?

Join this engaging session to explore:

• Steps to intentionally develop a genuine executive brand
• Identifying your blind spots and leverage opportunities for influence
• Methods for building or restoring recognition for what matters most to you

 As foreign operatives infiltrate organizations under false identities, traditional hiring and security processes are being tested like never before. This session will dissect real-world attack chains, highlight subtle red flags and technical indicators, and offer actionable strategies for cross-functional response and risk mitigation. Walk away with practical tools to detect, disrupt and prevent these sophisticated insider threats.

Join this talk to learn:

• Proven methods to identify behavioral and technical warning signs during hiring and employment
• Effective cross-functional controls and incident response strategies for rapid mitigation
• Best practices for strengthening organizational resilience through training, ID verification and stakeholder alignment

Cybersecurity is now a headline issue, CISOs must bridge the gap between technical priorities, business strategy and mental health. This session offers a unique opportunity to choose pressing topics and collaborate with fellow security leaders in open, insightful conversations.

In this workshop, you’ll:

• Identify and unpack industry-wide security concerns
• Assess how new trends are shaping business decisions
• Unpack mental health, it not the reward for high performance—it’s the foundation
