Secure the Next Wave of AI Innovation

5:30pm – 8:00pm PT | San Francisco, CA

Event Overview

Every new AI dataset, model and agent brings incredible opportunities and entirely new risks. Most organizations have never had to secure technology like this before.

To stay ahead, leaders must take a proactive, unified approach to securing AI, one that is built into every layer of how AI is developed, deployed and used.

How does one gain a clear view of the entire AI ecosystem, assess emerging risks and defend against threats unique to AI? In short, how does one secure the next wave of AI
innovation?

Register for this exclusive roundtable discussion and explore how to move beyond fragmented point tools toward a unified approach that enables innovation without
compromise and helps to bridge the gap with a unified AI security platform that discovers, assesses and protects.
Among the discussion topics:
  • Unifying your security posture to reduce complexity and enable confident AI deployment.
  • Gaining comprehensive visibility into your AI ecosystem.
  • Embedding security throughout the AI lifecycle to ensure safe, responsible innovation.
