Event Details

What happens when AI is given weapons but no rules for how to use them? State-sponsored intrusions now operate with 80–90% autonomy, while generative AI has driven immense increases in phishing volume. In response, the cybersecurity industry has largely delivered more fragmented point solutions. In this session, James Foster of eSentire discusses effective security has always required offense, defense, and governance to function as a unified system - and that AI finally makes this possible at scale.
 
Attendees will learn how a continuous security model - where swords identify exposed attack surfaces, shields contain what gets through, and adaptive guardrails govern every autonomous action with explainability, reversibility, and policy-bounded authority - can help organizations keep pace with attacker velocity in the age of AI-powered threats.
