In 2026, AI is more than a technology – it’s the new battleground for enterprise security, resilience and strategic advantage. The Virtual Cybersecurity Summit: Implications of AI brings together senior leaders in cybersecurity, enterprise risk, infrastructure operations, AI governance and digital trust – from industries such as finance, healthcare, critical infrastructure, cloud and SaaS, manufacturing, telecom, and government – to engage in a single-day, high-impact virtual event.
Through forward-looking keynotes, expert panels, interactive deep dives and practical workshops, attendees will explore the most urgent challenges and opportunities at the intersection of AI, security and enterprise operations. The summit sessions will discuss actionable strategies, governance frameworks, deployment blueprints and real-world insights to stay ahead of evolving threats – and turn AI risk into enterprise strength.
Our Summit Advisory Committee comprises industry visionaries whose guidance ensures the conference programs remain relevant, cutting-edge, and aligned with the most pressing cybersecurity challenges and opportunities – enabling attendees to apply the insights and learnings to their daily work.
In this session, we’ll break down the security implications of AI-assisted engineering and share actionable strategies to secure AI-driven development at scale.
The session will cover:
Who should attend:
Staff AI Security Advocate, Snyk
Leaders from security, legal and technology domains will share best practices for building governance frameworks that align regulatory requirements with organizational goals. A central focus will be the rise of shadow AI, where employees adopt unapproved tools in response to growing demand for efficiency and automation.
This session will cover:
CISO, Elecon Group of Companies
CISO, Digital Turbine
Editorial Director, ISMG
We will examine the “wicked” complexity of extracting meaning from text and demonstrate how to address these challenges through a comprehensive “Discover, Secure and Manage” life cycle framework.
Cloud Security Architect, Google
In this session, we will walk through real-world examples of how AI-driven automation enhances triage, correlation and investigation processes. Instead of fostering fears of workforce displacement, the session will highlight how AI empowers analysts by removing repetitive tasks and allowing them to focus on high-value decision-making.
The session will cover:
What cultural and organizational shifts are required to integrate AI effectively into SOC environments;
How forward-thinking teams are building collaborative human-AI models that elevate performance and create more resilient operations;
Practical guidance for beginning or scaling an AI-enabled SOC transformation.
ICS Cybersecurity Program Lead, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
Shadow AI initiatives, new control planes and sensitive data pipelines now intersect with persistent cloud misconfigurations and identity gaps. As AI-driven systems expand across environments, security teams face increased complexity in visibility, governance and risk ownership.
The session will cover:
Group Manager, Product Marketing, Wiz
The session will cover:
CEO and CISO, Constella Intelligence
CISO, Mastin & Associates

Join Okta’s Harish Peri, Senior Vice President and General Manager, AI Security, and Accenture’s Greg Callegari, Managing Director, Cyber Protection, IAM, for a 20-minute discussion on what’s next for AI identity, access and trust. No slides. No scripts. Just a fast, honest look at the biggest shifts coming to enterprise security as AI agents become part of the workforce.
Why AI agents need to be treated as first-class identities – with the same visibility, governance and guardrails as any human user;
How organizations can secure and scale AI innovation across both customer and workforce ecosystems, with identity at the center;
What 2026 will look like for security teams balancing speed, compliance and control in an AI-driven world.
Senior Vice President and General Manager, AI Security, Okta
Managing Director, Cyber Protection, IAM, Accenture
Upskilling staff to interpret and challenge AI-generated insights while ensuring critical thinking is vital. The conversation will highlight how to integrate AI tools without diminishing human judgment or creating dependency.
The session will cover:
Director, Cyber Security, Integra Life
Vice President, Editorial, ISMG
Real-world examples will demonstrate how these pillars integrate into a cohesive life cycle, and attendees will walk away with a practical blueprint for sustainable and transparent AI governance.
Govern: focuses on establishing clear oversight structures, policies and accountability;
Map: highlights the importance of understanding AI risks, use-case context and potential operational impacts;
Measure: introduces methods for developing metrics that assess performance, fairness, reliability and risk exposure;
Manage: covers the controls and continuous monitoring processes that keep AI systems safe and adaptable over time.
Managing Director, CXO Advisory Practice, ISMG
Addressing Today’s Leadership Challenges: Cybersecurity leaders are under immense pressure – fiercer competition, escalating cyber risks and shifting customer demands. In this session, we’ll discuss how AI can help leaders stay ahead of these challenges by transforming security and operations.
AI as a Strategic Game-Changer: AI is not just solving problems; it’s reshaping how businesses make decisions and manage risk. Learn how AI is tackling sophisticated threats such as adversarial attacks and enhancing decision-making and efficiency in real time.
Evaluating Processes for AI Integration: AI is making an impact across every part of business, but where should you focus? This session will demonstrate how to evaluate current processes – whether in real-time threat detection, incident response or customer engagement – and identify where AI can deliver the most value.
