Imagine a world where security engineers weren't inundated with thousands of issues/bugs across dozens of categories every day. Hardik Mehta, Head of Cyber Risk Management at Uber, and his team no longer have to just imagine that world -- they've made it their reality with Project Matterhorn — a Generative AI-powered program that is taking the number of issues from 200k+ across 21 types to just 20k across only 2 types.

In this session, Hardik will share how Project Matterhorn is leveraging GenAI to:

  • Identify & resolve Uber’s critical security issues across Product and Infra
  • Integrate with Uber’s engineering plans and govern Uber’s issues posture
  • Reduce Uber’s operational toil around issues, exceptions and acceptances

9:40am - 10:25am  Breakout Session

Cybersecurity is more than just technology; it’s about managing risks in a business context. Today’s interconnected landscape broadens the risk surface, encompassing cyber threats, operational disruptions, and financial losses across all enterprise levels. CISOs are challenged with fragmented security solutions and siloed strategies, which hinder effective risk management programs. 

Join this session to discuss: 

  • Developing a Risk Operations Center (ROC) to strengthen your cybersecurity risk management program
  • Aggregating, scoring, and presenting risk to achieve unified visibility and action across entire attack surfaces
  • Aligning the business with risk-based prioritization

Cryptography touches every corner of the digital world, and it is at risk of decryption from cybercriminals launching “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks. NIST announced three encryption algorithm standards in August 2024, which the U.S. government is pressed to adopt by 2035. Businesses must start evaluating their systems now, as a system-wide transition to quantum-safe protocols will be complex and time-consuming.

Join this session to discuss:

  • The current threat landscape from cryptographically relevant quantum computing
  • Understanding the NIST encryption standards and how to implement to your organizations
  • Evaluating and updating security strategy to ensure future security

In the age of remote and hybrid work, employees now spend the majority of their time in the browser or in virtual meetings. The workforce is more mobile and distributed than ever before. At the same time, we are seeing an increase in cyber attacks and a higher average cost of data breaches. We must think more about protecting users right where they interface with web threats, the browser, without disrupting productivity.

Join this session for an interactive conversation with your peers to discuss:

  • The browser's role in a business's security strategy
  • Zero trust architecture
  • Managing resources for cybersecurity in a time of economic uncertainty

Third party relationships are closest and may prove to be the most tangible risks to your business, yet the whole supply chain of your business partners still pose a substantial threat. Most organizations’ vendor relationships extend to the 8th party. CISOs need to understand this web of connectedness in order to better manage and communicate enterprise risk.

Join this session to discuss:

  • Gaining visibility into risk across the whole supply chain
  • Strategies for effective risk management and monitoring business partners
  • Overcoming resource challenges to prioritize third-party and extended supply chain risk

In today's complex regulatory environment, CISOs must navigate various categories of global trust, such as demographic and ethnographic factors, which influence compliance and governance decisions. Establishing and maintaining trust requires not only defining a clear position but also providing consistent evidence to support compliance claims. How can leaders connect the dots of governance across different countries and organizations effectively to enhance compliance and operational efficiency?

Join this boardroom to discuss:

  • Navigating the convergence of consumer, government, and market forces that shape global flows of data
  • Aligning governance and compliance strategies to build and maintain trust
  • Leveraging new technologies responsibly across geographies without sacrificing customer trust and loyalty

How Zero Trust and AI Enable Innovation That Outpaces Adversaries

Sam Curry headshot

Sam Curry

Global VP, CISO in Residence

Zscaler

The modern CISO must navigate the complex balance between technological advancement and the need to simplify and secure IT environments. This requires overhauling legacy architectures to be VPN and firewall-free, responding to shifting threats with AI-enabled defenses, overcoming financial constraints, and accommodating cloud-first businesses with distributed workforces. Leaders must lay a secure foundation using zero trust principles – for users, devices, and workloads – and harness the power of AI to consistently stay one step ahead of the attackers.

Join this session to learn:

  • AI’s role in enabling both organizations and their adversaries, with an emphasis on staying a step ahead of cybercriminals
  • Navigating the evolution of the CISO roles in light of greater expectations and oversight from senior business leaders
  • Securing organizations’ resources – from end users to branches and factories – reliably and cost-effectively with zero trust

Best Practices for Trusting AI in Your Security Strategy

Kurt Roemer headshot

Kurt Roemer

Chief Security Strategist

Box

For security professionals, zero trust is a mantra built into the cornerstones of security strategies. So trusting AI to augment and improve all the protections we've spent our careers putting in place is no easy feat. But here’s the truth: AI needs time and data to grow and learn to support security teams. And we — as the real, live people managing these tools — need time and information to adjust to trusting AI.

Join this session to learn about:

  • Establishing trust in AI to combat external threats like data leaks from shadow AI usage
  • Managing internal threats through controlling permissions and implementing guardrails
  • Using AI to empower security teams by automating tasks, addressing talent gaps, and preventing burnout

Maturing your security posture requires knowing how to objectively assess your organization, use industry best practices and frameworks, and select the right tools to advance your business. This complex, time-intensive process often takes a backseat to defending yourself against ever-evolving threats. Getting started can be overwhelming, so finding time to assess and improve your security maturity is a tall task.

Join this session to discuss:

  • Benchmarking using common assessment frameworks and tools
  • Determining your security maturity level, and how to fill gaps you’ve identified
  • Analyzing the impact of data and AI on your security posture

AI risk is quietly creeping into every corner of your enterprise, and you don’t even realize it. As more employees adopt AI-powered tools, applications, and processes, it is becoming deeply embedded in your tech stack — but it’s not just your employees using AI. Attackers are also leveraging AI to enhance their own tactics and sharpen their attacks. The real question for CISOs is: Do you have visibility into the countless ways AI is spreading, and what’s the best way to use AI to protect against AI?

Join this session to discuss:

  • The hidden ways AI is entering your enterprise—from third-party tools to shadow AI projects—and why it’s slipping under the radar
  • How attackers are using AI to improve their attacks and making them harder to detect by both legacy security tools and humans themselves
  • Actionable steps for CISOs to gain visibility and control over AI use across the organization

When you're ready to move on, what will your next step look like – and who will replace you?

 Succession planning is critical for CISOs and enterprises to ensure continuity and resilience in security leadership roles. But it can also be a pretty complex process to identify a successor – whether internally or externally – and ensure that next person is set up for success. 

In this fireside chat-style keynote session, Mike Lamberg and Paul Carpenito from ION join us to share:

  • What the CISO succession planning process was like from both the outgoing (Mike) and incoming (Paul) perspectives

  • What their recommendations would be for fellow CISOs as they consider their own success plans

  • What each of them is looking forward to in the next stage of their career journeys
