Executive Summit

AI-powered data and analytics are transforming how CISOs answer complex, business-critical questions with precision and speed. What are some of the best practices of security leaders who effectively leverage AI for continuous learning, deeper insights, and actionable decision-making?

Join this session to examine:

• Unlocking comprehensive answers to evolving business questions
• Enabling continuous learning for impactful AI usage
• Harnessing new opportunities with agentic AI and preparing for the next AI leap

From sophisticated adversaries to well-meaning employees –insider threats are top of mind for the sharp CISO. What are your fellow security leaders doing to keep a pulse on emerging threats and outsmarting the threats within?

Join this interactive session to:

• Get a 360° view of the emerging insider threats that CISOs are watching
• Analyze real-world attacks, both malicious and accidental
• Collaborate with peers about strategies and tools used to improve resilience

Stepping into a boardroom, facing an advisory committee, or even presenting to key stakeholders can feel intimidating for any CISO. But what if you could channel the mindset of a top salesperson? Suddenly, those high-pressure moments become opportunities to shine—transforming a technical security leader into a persuasive, savvy CISO who can win over even the toughest executives.

Join this session to:

• Master the mindset of a salesperson to speak the language of business & communicate with impact
• Confidently champion cybersecurity business cases—even when the budget stakes are high
• Deliver presentations that pack a punch, leaving everyone in the room feeling invested in your vision

In this dynamic session, Rupal Patel will share thought-provoking insights from her CIA to CEO journey on leveraging ambiguity and uncertainty in pursuit of organizational excellence. Through case studies and stories from the field, Rupal will demystify how to put “agility” into action, and transform the concept from an overused buzzword to an actionable toolkit. 

This keynote will explore:

• Concrete methods for embedding agility into their organizational structure 
• Tools for developing personal resilience and becoming more agile decision makers
• An adaptable framework for becoming change-agents and driving organizational excellence

Businesses stand to benefit from AI in unprecedented ways, but only if security leaders overcome transformation challenges. This includes implementing a modern zero trust architecture to protect data and users, embracing AI while managing its risks, and handling the technical and financial implications of ever-expanding environments. A risk-based approach to security ensures CISOs deliver a secure, phased transformation.

Join this session to:

• Understand how zero trust and AI together, unlike firewalls, provide the strongest cyber defense by stopping threat actors from lateral movement within networks
• Learn strategies for protecting AI applications developed in data centers and the cloud, while preventing data leaks from public AI applications
• Discover how eliminating costly legacy hardware simplifies environments while cutting network and security costs

As organizations rapidly adopt AI, identity is both a key control point and a top attack target. How can CISOs use AI to strengthen security and resilience without adding complexity?

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Applying AI in threat detection and access governance
• Managing risks and building trust in identity programs
• Balancing automation and human oversight

GenAI is changing rapidly, and the next major step is agentic AI — systems that are capable of taking actions without human oversight. This brings a new level of complexity, but there are benefits for security teams as well. Security leaders are now exploring the value and risk of agentic AI to determine how to advance safely.

Join Elastic’s security leadership to explore:

• The use of GenAI in security and how it's advanced to meet different team needs
• How AI adoption changes your attack surface
• The different ways AI augments security teams and workflows
