Executive Summit

Sensitive data movement can be risky but restricting it outright can create operational and security challenges. In an era of agentic AI, generative AI, and emerging quantum computing, organizations need security frameworks that protect data while ensuring agility. This session explores how modern security platforms enable secure data flow, adapt to diverse use cases and prepare for the post-quantum encryption (PQE) shift.

Join this keynote to learn:

• How to choose the right secure access method for each use case
• Why security must be adaptive to risk, user behavior and AI-driven interactions
• How to prepare for post-quantum encryption and its enterprise security impact

• Effective cross-functional controls and incident response strategies for rapid mitigation
• Best practices for strengthening organizational resilience through training, ID verification and stakeholder alignment

As we look toward 2026 and 2027, the futurist landscape extends beyond AI, with breakthroughs in areas like synthetic biology, quantum computing, and climate adaptation reshaping business possibilities. However, we’ve given less thought to challenges such as ethical governance, psychological impacts of technology, and the resilience of global supply chains. To stay ahead, organizations must expand their foresight, anticipate overlooked trends, and foster adaptability. By thinking broadly and planning proactively, businesses can better navigate uncertainty and seize emerging opportunities.

Join this discussion to:

• Identify underexplored trends and technologies that could disrupt your industry in the next 2-3 years
• Learn strategies for building organizational resilience and adaptability amid rapid change
• Explore actionable foresight tools to future-proof your business across operations, talent, and innovation

Your career trajectory is shaped by more than just your achievements—how others perceive your executive presence can open doors or close them. Personal branding is about consciously shaping those perceptions. Are you aware of how others see you?

Join this engaging session to explore:

• Steps to intentionally develop a genuine executive brand
• Identifying your blind spots and leverage opportunities for influence
• Methods for building or restoring recognition for what matters most to you

As IT and OT systems converge, CISOs must address new security risks and complexities. For CISOs, ensuring the security of both IT and OT is essential to safeguarding organizational resilience, maintaining regulatory compliance, protecting sensitive data and physical assets. Addressing the unique challenges of IT/OT integration requires practical strategies to protect critical infrastructure in an interconnected world, empowering CISOs to proactively manage risks and enable secure digital transformation.

Join this session to:

• Review key IT/OT cyber threats and real-world incidents
• Learn governance and collaboration best practices
• Get actionable steps to improve visibility and response

As artificial intelligence becomes deeply embedded in business operations, the White House’s AI Action Plan is testing traditional governance and risk management processes like never before. How will CISOs recognize and respond to subtle warning signs and governance gaps in AI adoption? What strategies can help navigate the evolving landscape of regulatory expectation sand cross-functional oversight? How can organizations ensure their security frameworks keep pace with the speed and complexity of AI-driven threats? How can CISOs detect, disrupt, and prevent emerging AI-driven threats while aligning their organizations with evolving regulatory expectations?

Join this session to learn:

• Proven methods to identify governance, ethical, and technical warning signs in AI adoption & deployment
• Effective cross-functional controls and incident response strategies for rapid mitigation of AI-related risks
• Best practices for strengthening organizational resilience through board engagement, AI risk training, and robust oversight frameworks

Security leaders are under increasing pressure to demonstrate the business value of investments and align security priorities with organizational outcomes. Traditional security metrics—focused on uptime, budget, and project delivery—often fail to resonate with business leaders or drive informed investment decisions. Outcome-Driven Metrics (ODMs) offer a transformative approach, directly linking performance to business value.

Join this session to hear about:

• Moving beyond operational reporting by identifying and building metrics hierarchies that connect security to business outcomes
• Utilizing ODMs to guide executive conversations and clarify risk, value, and cost trade-off
• Informing executive conversations about risk with an outcome-driven approach to cybersecurity investment called protection level agreements
