AI and the Art of Cyber Warfare: Staying Ahead of the Hackers
“AI with a Badge and a Backdoor” — Agentic AI as Adversary & Employee
Explore how autonomous agents can act as both your greatest accelerator and your most unpredictable insider threat. Learn the newest detection, containment, and audit strategies for AI systems that can think, act, and occasionally go off-script.
“The Hidden Workforce” — Shadow AI Governance
Business units are spinning up unsanctioned AI tools faster than security can blink. In this session, dissect real-world frameworks for discovering, governing, and securing these “shadow AIs” — without stifling innovation or trust.
“Who’s Logging In When It’s Not Human?” — Identity for Nonhuman Agents
As AIs begin to own credentials, call APIs, and request access, the next frontier in IAM has arrived. Discuss the architecture and policy implications of provisioning, rotating, and revoking identities for your nonhuman workforce.
“Built to Bend, Not Break” — Resilience by Design
Breach inevitability is the new baseline. This conversation dives into designing systems — and teams — that can absorb, adapt, and recover with board-ready transparency. Explore resilience metrics that translate cleanly to enterprise risk language.
“The Ghost in Your Supply Chain” — Model & Vendor Integrity
Third-party risk now extends to your AI models and data pipelines. Learn how forward-leaning CISOs are adapting SBOM/MBOM methodologies for AI supply chains, improving diligence, and demanding transparency from vendors and partners.
“From Gut Feel to Hard Numbers” — Quantifying AI & Cyber Risk
Boards want dollar signs, not acronyms. This session walks through emerging methods to measure and communicate AI-driven and cyber risks in financial terms — bridging the credibility gap between security, finance, and the C-suite.
