Leading Transformation to a Digital Culture: Leveraging AI for Competitiveness

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence in the last year has demonstrated the power of the technology to both the general public and to corporate leaders. As you chart your organization’s AI journey, join us for guidance and insight from the AI expert, tech CEO and investor Ann Marie Sastry. The greatest access to AI tools is via APIs that enable ingestion, analysis and decision-making with business and technical data. Sastry argues that integration of these tools requires careful consideration of infrastructures and adaptations to security and privacy practices that support their use, and training of staff at all levels to promote awareness, respect and desire to leverage data and AI.

Live Discussion: AI and the Future of Security

What questions do you have about security and AI? Join us for a real-time, moderated discussion with the AI expert and entrepreneur Ann Marie Sastry that builds on her keynote presentation.

Is There an Easier Way to Manage and Remediate Risk?

The challenges cybersecurity teams face include budget constraints and competing for talent. On the technology side, there are too many legacy risk tools, increasingly complex infrastructure and applications stacks, and an average of 75 security tools in many companies. The solution starts with visibility gleaned with insight from a single pane of glass. Today’s prevention and remediation now include a high degree of automation and data analytics augmented by AI and machine learning.

Exploring the Impact of the SEC’s Cyber-Risk Governance

Public companies will face an additional layer of governance under new guidelines from the Securities and Exchange Commission. What will this look like in practice? And what do CISOs need to know to protect their organizations – as well as themselves? This session will dive into the questions around the impact to businesses, particularly on the board level. If you have a cyber advisor on the board, is that person at greater level of risk than other board members? Would they be a target of the SEC in the event of a breach? What if there’s a difference of opinion between the board and the corporate leader in the seat? Join us to find out.

Proactive Cybersecurity: Reduce Your Risk Exposures Before It’s Too Late

The result? Easier prioritization and reporting as well as an overall culture of trust that benefits both partners and customers.

Getting More or Less from Cyber Insurance

Cyber insurance can help mitigate an organization’s exposure to financial and operational risk, but the insurance landscape is shifting significantly. As the frequency and severity of ransomware, phishing, and denial of service attacks have increased, demand for and conditions relating to coverage have evolved. Policies are becoming more diverse and complex, presenting CISOs and their organizations new challenges when it comes to getting the most value from cyber insurance. This panel explores the current state of cyber insurance, why policies may be more difficult to obtain, and helpful strategies for optimal cyber insurance investment.
