Executive Summit

Artificial intelligence is entering a new phase. No longer limited to generating insights, modern AI systems are beginning to act — initiating workflows, interacting with applications, and making decisions at machine speed. As agentic AI systems become operational participants inside enterprise environments, this session explores how enterprises can safely scale AI by establishing governance across identity, authority, behavior, and data, while enabling innovation without introducing unmanaged risk.

Attendees will learn:

• How to control the authority, behavior, and data access of autonomous systems operating across complex digital ecosystems
• The emerging governance model, enacted through a real-time control plane, to address authority drift, misconfigured permissions, and unintended AI behavior
• A practical framework and architecture for governing AI at enterprise scale

According to the International Data Corporation, the number of AI identities is expected to reach 1.3 billion in just two years. Yet many organizations don’t secure AI identities effectively, granting excessive access and relying on outdated, slow processes.

Join this session to learn how to:

• Identify gaps in agent access visibility, ownership, and governance
• Address the unique challenges of identity security in AI environments
• Build scalable identity foundations to enable innovation and efficiency

As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, organizations need detection strategies that identify attackers inside the network before damage occurs. What if a deliberately placed internal network lure could expose malicious behavior the moment an intruder begins to explore? 

Join your peers to discuss:

•  How internal network lures create warning signals that complement existing security controls and provide insights into active threats
• Key design considerations for building effective decoy assets that attract malicious activity
• Practical lessons learned from  in-house development, including visibility gains and operational impacts

As organizations grow more digitally interconnected, supply chains have become one of the most attractive and disruptive cyber targets. Third‑party breaches can halt operations, cascade across partners, and rapidly transform technical incidents into business and financial crises. Understanding and managing supply chain dependencies is now a core resilience and risk management requirement.

Join your peers to discuss:

• Why third‑party cyber risk is now a business continuity issue, not just a security concern
• How to map critical digital and non‑digital supply chain dependencies to uncover hidden risk
• What resilience strategies organizations need to withstand supplier‑driven cyber disruptions

For CISOs, Zero Trust has long been the strategic objective—but least privilege remains largely theoretical. AI and machine identities are quietly outpacing human‑centric controls, reshaping the enterprise risk landscape.Traditional security models were not designed for this reality. To regain control, organizations must move beyond static permissions and adopt an Identity Fabric capable of enforcing Zero Standing Privilege across every identity—human and machine—at enterprise scale.

Join your peers to discuss:

• Extending Zero Trust to govern human, machine, and AI identities end‑to‑end
• Replacing standing privileges with just‑in‑time access through architecture, not process
• Using an Identity Fabric to enable visibility, control, and business agility 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.

Good cybersecurity governance gives CISOs the structure and authority needed to align security decisions with business priorities while maintaining clear accountability across teams. With consistent policies, defined ownership, and transparent measurement, CISOs can act with confidence, manage risk proactively, and sustain resilience as threats evolve.

Join you peers to uncover:

• Clear accountability that defines who owns decisions and outcomes
• Standardized, repeatable processes that guide consistent security execution
• Transparent reporting that translates risk into actionable business insight

How can CISOs elevate cybersecurity from a technical sidebar to a strategic powerhouse that commands executive attention? This message challenges leaders to transform complex cyber concepts into clear, compelling business value—bridging the gap between security operations and organizational growth. By reframing cybersecurity as a driver of resilience, revenue protection, and competitive advantage, CISOs can turn every boardroom conversation into an opportunity for influence.

Join your peers to discuss:

• Translating risk into business‑aligned outcomes that resonate with executive priorities
• Using narrative and clear decision paths to turn updates into meaningful context leadership can act on
• Positioning cybersecurity as a strategic enabler that fuels trust, innovation, and long‑term performance

Julian Reeve, former Music Director of the Broadway musical Hamilton, has spent a lifetime chasing results. On and off Broadway, his achievements have been applauded, conducted by ambition, and underscored by self-criticism. But a major life event demanded a change of tune. Now, as a noted authority on burnout and perfectionism, he offers concrete tools on how to build a burnout-free culture, retain high achievers and optimize self-care and performance for you and your team. Reeve is an Advisory Board Member for HR.com’s Research Institute, and his work has been featured in The Hill Newspaper and Fast Company/CEO World Magazines in addition to his TEDx Talk and children's book.

Join Reeve as he explores:

• Recognizing and managing stress and burnout in yourself and your team
• Identifying six keys to burnout control & avoidance
• Clarifying individual vs. organization burnout responsibility

Finish the day sharing lessons learned with your peers over light fare and drinks at this closing reception hosted by your governing body members.
