CISO Forum Track (Salon III)

About This Session

AI is reshaping enterprise operations while introducing new security risks, from model manipulation and data exposure to adversarial attacks and autonomous agent behavior. As organizations scale AI across endpoints, cloud, and edge, CISOs must rethink how trust, data integrity, and system control are established and maintained.

This session examines practical approaches to securing AI-enabled environments, including governance and monitoring of AI agents as they take on decision-making roles. Topics include safeguarding data pipelines, ensuring verifiable system integrity, and managing risks introduced by autonomous actions.

The discussion will focus on emerging security patterns and lessons from across the industry, highlighting how leaders are balancing innovation with risk—implementing guardrails, aligning to evolving regulations, and preparing for a future where AI systems must be both trusted and continuously verified.
