| Recognizing the Purpose in Your WorkNo matter how much we enjoy our jobs we sometimes get caught up in the day-to-day activities and can forget the big picture. This can even happen to astronauts. Former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino stresses the importance of trying to remember the reason why we work as hard as we do and how we are making the world a better place through our work. For security leaders, that purpose ranges from defending against bad actors to protecting internal and customer data to fending off sophisticated nation-state cyberthreats. As an astronaut, Mike found purpose in servicing and repairing the Hubble Space Telescope. Arguably the greatest scientific instrument ever built, Hubble made some of the greatest scientific discoveries in history while showing us the beauty of our universe. Contributing to great projects makes all the hard work and sacrifice worthwhile.

| Generative AI, Predictive AI & the CISOCombinations of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have influenced the cybersecurity landscape for the better part of 15 years. What computers have always been able to do is make correlations to the bytes, files, hashes, and code that compromise a network. However, for all of the improvements in computing and years of refining algorithms, so much of operating the network and the cybersecurity software that protects the network are still manually intensive processes.

| Wrapping Up: What’s Your Security Priority?To close out our conference, we need your help. Attendees will choose the focus on this session in a vote on Tuesday, and we will announce the results Wednesday morning. Then this panel of experienced and thoughtful CISOs will share their collective wisdom in a candid conversation. Want to hear more about AI and security? Is it time for a frank discussion about careers and how CISOs can get the respect they deserve? Or perhaps there’s a new industry development that week that everyone is buzzing about. Let’s go there.
