Session One: AI-Adapted SOC Blueprint – A Practical & Strategic Framework, Intezer
From Reactive to Resilient: AI-Adapted Security Operations Framework:
Most organizations face a unique paradox: as defenses strengthen, the attack surface expands, while regulatory and operational pressures demand greater efficiency and accountability. Attendees will see a practical roadmap for evolving from legacy operations to AI-adapted, outcome-driven security programs built for operational resilience and strengthening trust within and outside of your organization.
This framework also shows how to unify people, process, and technology to reduce mean time to respond from hours to minutes, achieve >95% alert coverage, and quantify risk reduction in business terms.

Session Two: The Two Sides of AI in Cybersecurity, Netskope
AI is fundamentally reshaping the cybersecurity landscape, acting simultaneously as a sophisticated tool for attackers and a powerful ally for defenders.
This session explores the “dark side” of AI, where threat actors harness technology to weaponize malware, scale phishing campaigns, and generate deepfakes with unprecedented speed. It further examines the rising wave of insider threats and data risks introduced by the rapid, often unmanaged, adoption of generative AI (GenAI) apps and autonomous agentic AI within the enterprise.
On the defensive side, attendees will discover how next-generation cybersecurity innovations are leveraging the power of AI to help tip the balance back in favor of security teams. Through real-world insights and live demos, Bob Gilbert, VP of Strategy and Chief Evangelist at Netskope, will share a practical approach to enable the safe and productive adoption of AI across the enterprise.
