Global Data Defense in the AI Era

Sensitive data movement across borders can be risky but restricting it outright can create operational and security challenges. As agentic AI, generative AI, and quantum computing reshape global organizations, CISOs must modernize security platforms to protect data amid increasingly sophisticated attacks and evolving global data regulations. Join this town hall to discuss:

Planning migration strategies to protect critical data and infrastructure while complying with international data protection laws
Ensuring security platforms adapt to risk, user behavior and AI-driven interactions
Preparing for the future including the post-quantum encryption shift
