CONFERENCE AGENDA
9:00am – 10:00am: Integrating Enterprise Risk Management into Business Operations
Risk management is often perceived as a support function—but when integrated well, it becomes a core enabler of business agility. This session will cover how to embed risk intelligence across operational areas such as procurement, product development, and finance. Learn how risk metrics can drive smarter decision-making, not just compliance.
10:00am – 10:30am: Refreshment Break
10:30am – 11:00am: Emerging Threats and the Expanding Risk Perimeter
Remote work, SaaS sprawl, shadow IT, and geopolitical tension have dramatically widened the risk aperture. This session analyzes current threat intelligence trends and outlines a risk-aware approach to managing today’s extended enterprise. Key topics include threat modeling, identity-based threats, data visibility, and real-time detection strategies for a hyper-connected world.
11:30am – 12:30pm: AI & Security – Managing Risk in the Age of Autonomous Decision-Making
The rise of generative AI and autonomous systems has introduced new dimensions of enterprise risk—from prompt injection and data leakage to model hallucinations and ethical misuse. This session dives into practical strategies to govern AI usage securely, monitor model behavior, and build trust into AI-driven workflows without stifling innovation.
12:30pm – 1:30pm: Lunch and Exhibit Break
1:30pm – 2:30pm: Zero Trust is Not a Product – How to Operationalize the Framework
Zero Trust has evolved from buzzword to boardroom mandate—but what does it look like in practice? This session walks through a phased roadmap to implement Zero Trust principles across identity, network, and data layers. Explore the cultural and operational shifts needed, plus lessons learned from organizations midway through their Zero Trust journey.
2:30pm – 3:00pm: Refreshment Break
