Expectations Re-Set: AI and the Modernization of Data Security
5:30pm - 8pm ET | Greenville, SC
Event Overview
In five years’ time, your enterprise has evolved from “the way things used to be” to operating in multi-cloud environments and are now plunged into the AI era. Business expectations for new efficiencies and innovations are off the charts.
But are your data governance and security initiatives keeping pace? Or is it time to revisit and reset expectations?
From cloud environments to the top LLMs, the volume of data in transit is daunting – and growing. It compels security leaders to ask: How are we classifying and observing data?
How are LLMs being trained and secured? What are our data security practices, and how do we ensure data security compliance wherever we conduct business?
It’s a new era that calls for unified security solutions, streamlined policing and consistent protection across all environments. This interactive roundtable brings together IT decision-makers and security leaders to discuss how to reset and fulfill new data security expectations in the cloud and AI eras.
Among the discussion points:
- How do you know when your enterprise’s AI expectations are too high?
- How are you selecting and protecting data used to train LLMs?
- What should you be considering for your data governance policies?
