We’re pleased to welcome Ulf Mattsson for a keynote session followed by an expert panel discussion featuring leaders from across data security, privacy, and AI.
Zero Trust, AI, and the Data Security Lifecycle: Strategies for Modern Risk Management
Abstract:
This session explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, cloud adoption, and data security in today’s rapidly evolving cyber landscape. With third-party vendors responsible for the majority of breaches, organizations face mounting challenges around risk identification, mitigation, and compliance. Discussion will address how AI shapes cybersecurity—from enhancing threat intelligence and breach detection to strengthening compliance with global regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and more. The conversation will also highlight modern approaches to encryption, auditability, and zero-trust architectures, as well as practical considerations for securing leading cloud platforms.
