Panel Discussions: (Subject to Change)

AI in Cybersecurity: Defending Against Ransomware and AI-Powered Threats

As artificial intelligence and machine learning reshape the cybersecurity landscape, organizations must balance the benefits of AI-driven threat detection with the risks posed by AI-enhanced cyberattacks. Ransomware continues to evolve, leveraging AI for automation and personalization, while state-sponsored Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) pose long-term risks to critical infrastructure. This panel will bring together experts to explore how AI is transforming cyber defense, discuss strategies for mitigating AI-powered attacks, and examine the evolving nature of ransomware and APTs in an increasingly hostile digital environment.

Cyber Resilience and Incident Response: Preparing for the Inevitable

With cyber threats becoming more sophisticated and breaches increasingly inevitable, organizations must shift their focus from solely preventing attacks to ensuring resilience and rapid recovery. This panel will explore how CISOs are building cyber resilience through robust incident response planning, disaster recovery strategies, and business continuity measures. Experts will discuss best practices for minimizing downtime, containing breaches, and swiftly restoring operations while mitigating financial and reputational damage.

Cloud and Data Security: Strategies for IT Leaders

As organizations increasingly adopt hybrid and multicloud environments, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and IT leaders face the challenge of securing complex, distributed infrastructures while maintaining agility and control. Additionally, the discussion will focus on cloud and data security, while embedding security into the software development lifecycle through DevSecOps. Panelists will share best practices, emerging threats, and real-world strategies for maintaining a robust cloud security posture in today’s evolving digital landscape.

Navigating the Regulatory Landscape: Compliance, Privacy, and Data Governance in 2025

With data privacy regulations evolving rapidly, organizations must stay ahead of compliance requirements while managing the complexities of cross-border data flows and sovereignty laws. From adapting to updates in existing regulations to preparing for new regulatory frameworks, CISOs, legal experts, and compliance officers face increasing pressure to ensure continuous compliance. This panel will explore the latest regulatory challenges, best practices for audit readiness, and strategies for maintaining compliance in an era of heightened scrutiny and global data governance.
