Agenda

16:30 - 17:30  Executive Networking Reception

17:30 - 18:30  Discussion Topics

Securing AI in Practice — Use Cases, Governance, and Business Alignment

Artificial Intelligence has shifted from a theoretical risk to an operational reality for CISOs, appearing in every conversation and becoming deeply embedded in security programs and business processes. Organisations are leveraging AI to automate workflows, enhance threat detection, and streamline compliance, prompting security leaders to seek practical guidance on securing these rapidly evolving implementations.

This requires a strategic approach, real-world experiences and shared lessons learned to drive towards secure and successful adoption. As CISOs align AI with broader organizational objectives, it is essential that AI investments not only reduce risk but also support revenue growth and strategic priorities.

Discussion Questions:

  • What real-world AI use-cases have you implemented that measurably improved your organization’s cybersecurity posture or operational efficiency?

  • How have you addressed resource gaps and third-party risks when deploying AI-driven security solutions?

  • What governance frameworks or best practices have helped you manage the risks and accountability challenges of autonomous or generative AI systems?

  • How are cybersecurity teams ensuring that all AI implementations are secure, while also supporting business objectives?

18:30 - 19:00  Networking Break

19:00 - 20:30  Summary Discussion & Dinner

20:30 - 21:30  Social Hour
