Toronto CISO Executive Summit

The complete entanglement of cyber risk with business risk is becoming increasingly more visible. CISOs now have an opportunity to better pinpoint third parties that present a threat to the organization. Yet the increasing complexities of third party, and even fourth party, risk management, prompted by a wide range of evolving threats, demands heightened attention. How can CISOs ensure they have a clear overview of the threat landscape and vulnerabilities across ecosystems and supply chains?

Join this session to discuss:

• Identification of vulnerabilities across your vendor landscape to prioritize response efforts
• Best practices for mitigating a new wave of sophisticated attacks to keep assets safe
• The role threat intelligence plays in risk management strategies to safeguard your digital ecosystem

From content generation to data analysis, generative AI is transforming the way people work and drastically improving productivity. However, the benefits do not come without risks, and the technology has the potential to do more harm than good when placed in the wrong hands. So what do security leaders need to know about the risks of generative AI, and how do they mitigate them?

Join this session for an insightful discussion on the latest cybersecurity challenges associated with generative AI, including:

• How the threat landscape is changing as a result of generative AI
• How businesses can ensure the privacy and security of sensitive data used in generative AI applications and govern them appropriately
• What tools and capabilities are necessary to protect organizations from malicious uses of generative AI
