National CISO & Security Leaders Forum

Aggressive attacks on Enterprise computer networks are continuing with increased frequency and threatening economic and national security. Actions like vulnerability reduction and passive defenses on their own simply are not cutting it and there needs to be a functional shift in the way we mitigate this substantial threat. Companies can seek to protect their most sensitive data by implementing an environment of actionable intelligence and detection to bring the fight to the adversaries and ensure a proactive approach to securing data. This session will discuss best practices in managing the constant evolution in the security environment.

For years the security focus of the enterprise was to build a hardened perimeter at the edge of the network, an impenetrable shell that kept the bad out and the good in. Over the last few years, this model has fallen by the wayside. Technologies such as Cloud and Mobility have pushed the enterprise beyond its traditional perimeter while increased levels of partnership have created inroads through that shell. As a result, infrastructure based security is no longer sufficient or appropriate and enterprises everywhere are having to make the shift to a new security paradigm, one that is centered on the data itself, not on the infrastructure that houses it.

This session will explore the transformative impact of AI and machine learning on cybersecurity. Experts will discuss how these technologies enhance threat detection, automate responses, and improve overall security posture. Real-world case studies will be presented, showcasing successful implementations and the challenges faced. Attendees will gain insights into the future landscape of AI-driven cybersecurity and how to leverage these tools to stay ahead of emerging threats.
