About This Session
As cyberattacks grow more sophisticated, defenses must evolve in tandem. AI is no longer merely a tool for analysis; it has become the foundation of a smarter, faster, and more proactive security strategy, and increasingly the differentiator between organizations that lead and those left vulnerable.
This executive roundtable brought together CISOs and senior business leaders to explore how to adopt AI-driven security strategies and elevate cybersecurity from a technical function to a boardroom priority. Through a keynote, a live hacking demonstration, and a leadership roundtable with Microsoft ASEAN’s CTO, attendees examined the evolving threat landscape and the practical steps needed to build resilient, AI-powered defenses.
