Future-Proof Security: Unify Defenses to Scale Teams and Secure AI
4:00- 5:30PM ET | Virtual
Event Overview
CISOs today are navigating a “perfect storm”: the rapid adoption of Generative AI, an expanding attack surface and a critical shortage of skilled cybersecurity talent. How can security leaders turn these challenges into advantages – to future-proof security against current and emerging threats?
Register now for this exclusive discussion, where you will join peers and subject matter experts to discuss how to optimize SOC team performance, manage talent constraints and secure multi-cloud environments.
Among the discussion points:
- Solving the Talent Crisis with AI: How can embedding AI assistants into SOC workflows act as a force multiplier – automating routine tasks, summarizing complex threats, and empowering junior analysts to perform at expert levels?
- Unifying Risk & Threat Management: What new approach helps eliminate the “swivel-chair” fatigue that burns out analysts, allowing teams to prioritize and remediate risks faster with fewer resources?
- Securing the AI Lifecycle: Strategies for protecting AI workloads and data pipelines without slowing down innovation.
