Agenda

Executive Boardroom Sessions

Preparing for Brand New Threats — Fighting AI with Precision

Cyberattackers are increasingly leveraging AI and machine learning (ML) to execute more advanced and sophisticated attacks, amplifying the scale and impact of the threat. As a result, the perception among many organisations is that the scales are tipping in favour of the attackers. To change this perception, CIOs must adopt a proactive AI-drive defence strategy. To meet this moment, how can CIOs cut down on complexities within AI-driven platforms and gain visibility and control across security systems to better protect the enterprise? Join this session to discuss:

The strategies CIOs are deploying to combat the evolving threat landscape
Defending in the AI era through mixing conventional and new approaches
Leveraging AI to empower your defence teams and scale up security across the organisation

Embed Resiliency with Business Continuity to Increase Cyber Investment

CISOs must strengthen their cyber resilience programmes to be ready, when, not if, an attack strikes. By translating technical security language into a clear business outcome, CISOs increase the likelihood of securing more budget for cyber resilience. How can security leaders gain leadership buy-in to improve security posture?

Join this boardroom to discuss how to:

Align cyber resilience initiatives with organisational objectives to enhance budget approval
Utilise data-driven tabletop exercises to showcase cyber’s strategic value
Create a compelling narrative to illustrate the importance of cyber resilience to senior stakeholders

Embrace a Holistic View of Data to Improve LLM Performance

CIOs know high quality data is a prerequisite for Large Language Models (LLMs). However, inconsistent data management, varying maturity levels, and the complexity of integrating structured and unstructured data makes this difficult to achieve. What methodologies and tools can CIOs use to improve data quality and optimise LLM performance?

Join this boardroom to discuss how to:

Implement robust data governance frameworks to ensure consistency and accuracy across datasets
Leverage data integration tools to blend structured and unstructured data
Foster a culture of data quality improvement to enhance organisational data maturity
