AI is reshaping every part of the enterprise, from GenAI apps to private LLMs and fast‑moving autonomous agents. As adoption surges, risk surges faster: shadow AI, data exposure, model attacks, and API abuse.
This Summit brings together leading experts to show how to secure AI at enterprise scale while accelerating innovation with confidence.
Understand how security priorities shift as organizations move from GenAI experimentation to private LLM deployment and agentic AI operations.
See how teams are gaining insight into GenAI activity, controlling access, reducing data exposure, and strengthening guardrails and compliance in live environments.
Explore how layered defenses can span users, applications, large language models, APIs, and AI data centers; reducing fragmentation and closing security gaps.
This summit is designed for security and IT leaders responsible for securing, operating, and scaling AI-enabled environments, where AI is already in use and where today’s security decisions directly impact resilience, governance, and performance.

His most recent research area explores the convergence of network and network security as a service into a cloud-based secure access service edge (SASE), enabling zero trust, anywhere/anytime access for a digital business and workforce.
Enterprises are rapidly adopting AI across business applications and infrastructure, but security models have not evolved at the same pace. In this session, Gartner VP Analyst Neil MacDonald explores how AI is expanding attack surfaces, introducing risks such as shadow AI and fragmented visibility that traditional security approaches struggle to address. Attendees will gain a clearer view of the challenges organizations face as AI moves into production and how security and infrastructure decisions are being reevaluated across the industry.

AI adoption rarely follows a clean or linear path. In most organizations, AI is already running in production across different teams, environments, and use cases, each with its own security and operational demands. This session provides a high-level view of how organizations are navigating that reality, aligning security and infrastructure decisions to support AI that is already in use, while balancing visibility, control, performance, and risk as adoption continues to evolve.
