Everything Everywhere All At Once: Untangling Security & Privacy Risks Across Today’s AI Tools (<– add to your schedule)
AI adoption is exploding—but the security promises behind these tools often don’t match the fine print buried in their terms, models, or data flows. This talk cuts through the hype with a no‑B.S. look at the real privacy and security risks across today’s major AI platforms, and gives business leaders and security professionals a clear roadmap for deciding what’s safe, what’s risky, and what’s simply not ready for prime time.

Secure by Design, Trusted Through Compliance (<– add to your schedule)
This talk will challenge listeners to redifine the traditional technical vs compliance mindset and thing of security as risk management. Whether it’s technical or contractual risk we should all be focused on the same goal of reducing material impacts to our organizations. It will walk through a model in which compliance is built upon strong technical foundations and becomes a mechanism for communicating trust to your organization, customers, and regulators
