Executive Summit

Organizations are investing heavily in AI, yet many struggle to demonstrate meaningful returns. Any organizations mistakenly focus on productivity per employee rather than financial value creation that flows to a P&L. Another year of extensive AI spending without delivering ROI on AI is unsustainable. As AI adoption expands, AI Sovereignty varies geographically and regulatory scrutiny increases, CISOs play a critical role in helping the C-suite balance with deployment speed with trust and ability to scale. This session explores how security leaders can contribute to AI value realization while ensuring investments deliver measurable business outcomes.

Join this session to hear about:

• Moving beyond productivity metrics to measurable business value and ROI
• Evaluating AI investments through the lens of value, cost, risk, and organizational readiness
• Aligning executive stakeholders around a repeatable approach for scaling AI adoption, resilience, and value creation

Agents are becoming the biggest opportunity in the enterprise, and the biggest adversary. They read your data and act under borrowed identities, at a speed no human review process was built to match. The old question in security was how to keep bad actors out. The new one is more complex: how do you create and manage the biggest risk in your own enterprise, the agents you deployed on purpose?
Join this session to hear about:

• Establishing a framework where data, identity, and agent security operate as one system
• Shifting from asking whether you can trust your agents to determining what access they can be trusted with
• Balancing innovation and risk by creating visibility needed to understand agent activity

Join this interactive discussion with fellow CISOs on the operating implications of agentic security with a particular focus on optimizing organizational design, agents, and cost. What is working, what is not, and what comes next?

The focus has shifted from adopting AI to determining how much of your business relies on autonomous agents. The question is now: how can CISOs drive productivity with agentic workflows while maintaining control?

Join this session to learn about:

• The evolving landscape of AI autonomy
• How the perimeter now centers on agent actions
• Security as an accelerator for innovation

Agentic AI is rapidly reshaping security operations, automating triage, investigation, and response at scale. As routine work shifts to machines, organizations risk losing critical skills, judgment, and institutional knowledge. CISOs must decide what to automate, what to preserve, and how to evolve roles and operating models—while leveraging AI to extend security expertise beyond traditional boundaries. 

Join this session to hear about:

• How agentic AI is reshaping SOC roles, workflows, and career paths
• How to identify and preserve critical skills while redesigning roles for the next 1–2 years
• Practical approaches to balancing AI automation with human judgment and leadership at scale

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Peer-to-Peer Meetings. You will be matched with peers in your community based on your shared interests and priorities.

Join this session to explore one of the community's top priorities this year: Increasing Organizational Resilience. Gain insights into key challenges, emerging approaches, and practical applications to help you navigate what's next.

As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms enterprise security, CISOs face unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Adversaries are weaponizing AI to scale attacks, increase speed, and enhance sophistication, targeting both traditional systems and emerging enterprise AI deployments. In this evolving battlefield, AI is not only a powerful tool for defenders but also an attractive target for attackers.

Join this session to learn more about:

• Emerging adversarial AI tactics and their impact on enterprise risk profiles
• Strategies for protecting AI assets and mitigating new vectors of attack
• Best practices for leveraging AI defensively without increasing organizational exposure

When legacy systems can’t be patched, recovery becomes a key compensating control. CISOs rely on recovery documentation as evidence to protect themselves and their organizations. This session covers how immutable backups and traceable recovery records withstand regulatory and legal scrutiny after incidents and how forensic and threat intelligence data can turn reactive recovery into a documented, risk-based decision.

Join this session to learn:

• How recovery and immutable backups protect unpatched legacy systems
• Building recovery records for regulatory and legal review
• Using forensic and threat intelligence to justify response decisions

CISOs have moved beyond AI experimentation. Now, executives ask: Are 2025’s investments actually reducing risk? The challenge is how to operationalize AI against evolving threats — and prove its value.

Join this session to discuss:

• Strategies for reducing high-risk incidents and fraud
• Embedding AI into core security operations to reduce risk
• Demonstrating risk reduction with actionable metrics

As organizations accelerate AI adoption, security leaders are being asked to support innovation while maintaining control over sensitive data. Many AI initiatives are revealing longstanding challenges around data visibility, access governance, oversharing, and policy enforcement. The organizations that successfully scale AI will be those that establish trust in the data, controls, and governance frameworks that underpin it. 

Join this roundtable to discuss: 

• Assessing confidence in AI data visibility and identifying barriers to secure adoption 

• Bridging the gap between AI policy and employee behavior, including shadow AI 

• Enabling AI innovation while maintaining security without being restrictive
