Executive Summit

As identity compromise becomes the fastest path to operational disruption, CISOs must shift from blocking every attack to limiting its impact. Compromised users, machines, and services now dictate incident severity. Building identity aware resilience requires coordinated action across security, identity, IT operations, and recovery teams to contain incident spread, restore trusted state, and maintain continuity.

In this session to explore how to:

• Detect and contain identity driven incidents
• Prioritize accounts, systems, and data for rapid recovery
• Strengthen cross functional collaboration with continuity metrics

As AI agents start acting across business environments, data becomes the true control surface. These agents require broad access to data, identities, and business processes, creating new risk patterns as sensitive data and outbound actions converge at machine speed. This is a control shift. CISOs must modernize their data approach to adopt agentic AI confidently while maintaining oversight.

Join this session to discuss how to:  

• Detect emerging risk behaviors in autonomous AI
• Build a data-centric and intent-aware security model
• Establish the CISO as the orchestrator of scalable AI and business growth enabler

CISOs are challenged by the growing sophistication of cyberattacks and the increasing complexity of IT environments, making traditional recovery approaches insufficient. Ensuring rapid, reliable recovery is now central to organizational resilience and trust, yet many security leaders struggle to integrate recovery into overall security strategy. Exploring new paradigms in cyber recovery can empower CISOs to proactively safeguard business continuity.

Join this session to explore:

• Integrating recovery into incident response plans
• Assessing cyber resilience beyond prevention
• Bridging gaps between security and IT operations

  Session details coming soon.

As AI agents move from passive tools to active workforce members, CISOs face new governance and security challenges. The risks of rapid, autonomous action are real—but so are the opportunities for transformation. This session offers a practical, forward-looking approach to securely unlocking the value of agents.

Join this session to explore:

• Reining in shadow agents
• Protecting agents from malicious context
• Protecting your business from rogue agents

  Session details coming soon.

Most organizations grow and change faster than their identity systems can keep up. Years of cloud adoption, SaaS sprawl, workforce change, and shifting ownership have left many IAM environments fragmented, over‑privileged, and poorly governed. CISOs are increasingly accountable for identity‑driven risk without clear visibility, consistent controls, or a single owner. Is your IAM posture reducing enterprise risk—or quietly amplifying it?

Join your peers to discuss:

• How CISOs assess IAM maturity and identify high‑risk gaps
• How teams restore least privilege and control across employees and third parties
• Who owns IAM today and how CISOs mobilize resources to rebuild identity control

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Peer-to-Peer Meetings. You will be matched with peers in your community based on your shared interests and priorities.

How can CISOs transform application security from a perceived bottleneck into a scalable enabler of modern engineering? Leading organizations are embedding security into design, automating controls across CI/CD, and aligning remediation to real business risk—reducing late-stage vulnerabilities while accelerating delivery and strengthening engineering partnerships.

Join your peers to discuss how:

• Embedding security into design and CI/CD reduces late-stage vulnerabilities at scale
• Risk-based prioritization increases developer adoption and accelerates remediation
• Defining the right metrics improves executive and board-level visibility into application risk

What does it mean for CISOs to occupy a new power seat—one where you are no longer just managing risk, but actively co‑architecting the enterprise’s technology strategy? As security and IT converge, CISOs must assess how they will influence modernization, reshape governance, and redefine responsibility for risk in a rapidly evolving environment.

Join this session to discuss:

• How dual CISO–CIO responsibilities are reshaping governance models and accelerating security‑aligned modernization
• Strategies for influencing technology architecture earlier in the lifecycle while maintaining business alignment
• What “owning risk” now means as security and IT increasingly operate as a unified strategic function

How prepared are you to respond toa surge in digital threats driven by AI, deepfakes, and an ever‑expanding attack surface? As cyberattacks become intertwined, CISOs face mounting pressure to rethink their security program. It's time for organizations to adapt their strategy, strengthen resilience, and proactively defend against anew generation of digital risks.

Join Aanchal Gupta, SVP & CSO at Adobe, to discuss why:

• AI‑enabled threats require modernized detection and response
• Heightened cyber threats demand closer executive alignment
• Expanding attack surfaces make proactive risk reduction essential

Finish the day sharing lessons learned with your peers over light fare and drinks at this closing reception hosted by your governing body members.
