Turning AI Vision Into Reality: Securing AI by design
5:30 -8:00 PM ET | Detroit, MI
Event Overview
AI adoption is accelerating across every industry and redefining the digital landscape. It’s unlocking innovation, efficiency, and competitive advantage. Yet with this rapid progress come new risks. As AI ambition continues to outpace security reality, organizations face an expanding set of challenges, from managing shadow AI and validating third-party models to defending against emerging agent-based attacks. Meanwhile, the traditional patchwork of tools and policies can no longer keep up with the speed and complexity of today’s AI-driven enterprise.
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. We’ll 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 governance and protection throughout the AI lifecycle to ensure safe, responsible innovation.
