The Emperor’s New Algorithm: An Executive Peer Discussion on AI Investment, ROI, and What “Optimal” Could Look Like
Satish Laxminarayanan, Risk Executive

Everyone here has approved AI spend. Most have sat through the demos, signed the contracts, and fielded the board questions. And nearly everyone has, at some point, quietly wondered whether the returns match the rhetoric. This session is permission to say that out loud.

“The Emperor’s New Algorithm” brings together this cohort for an honest, unfiltered conversation about the gap between AI ambition and AI reality. Not to declare failure — the productivity gains, when AI is deployed with discipline and measurement, are genuinely substantial. But to separate the organizations that are building durable AI value from those that are accumulating impressive-sounding pilots and quietly hoping the ROI materializes before the next board cycle. We’ll build a shared picture of what the AI cost stack actually looks like and what the C-level specifically needs to own when the CFO and board start asking harder questions.

10:20 AM – 11:00 AM

How FIs Can Lead the Convergence of Quantum, AI, and Regulatory Readiness
Yuval Illuz, Senior Vice President & Chief Security Officer, RBC

Many regulators are still catching up with quantum computing and frontier AI. Most current regulatory frameworks were written before either technology was a practical concern for financial institutions, and while they are doing their best to adapt, the changes are rapid and ongoing. As such, security executives are sometimes operating without an up-to-date rulebook. In this session, Yuval Illuz, Chief Security Officer at the Royal Bank of Canada, will discuss how financial institutions can take a practical approach to this uncertainty: building cryptographic agility into their security programs now, using AI to identify and prioritize exposure, and engaging with regulators early enough to help shape the standards that are coming.

Yuval will walk through what that work looks like: where to start, where institutions tend to get stuck, and how to make the case internally for investment before regulatory deadlines arrive.

Closing the Proof Gap
Tomer Saban, Co-Founder & CEO, WireX Systems

Three forces have changed the game: AI finds zero-days at machine speed, everyone ships code, and adversaries are harvesting encrypted data today to unlock with post-quantum decryption tomorrow. Someone is already accessing your data now, a threat actor, an insider, or your own AI agent, and the question is no longer whether something happened but exactly what happened to it.

The good news: the stack we built still matters, every piece. But it needs an additional layer: evidence. Boards want confidence, regulators want defensibility, analysts want speed, and an agentic SOC earns autonomy only through proof.

11:50 AM – 12:30 PM

From Incident Response to Regulatory Proof: What CISOs Need to Know About the 2026 Cyber Enforcement Landscape
Aravind Swaminathan, Partner, Global Co-Chair, Cybersecurity & Data Privacy, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe

Cybersecurity regulation is entering a new phase with regulators increasingly expecting organizations not merely to maintain written policies, but to produce evidence that their controls work, executives receive accurate information, third-party risks are actively managed, and incident disclosures withstand scrutiny. That all manifests in the aftermath of an incident in how they investigate victim companies and their executives, including CISOs. State regulators, in particular, are becoming more and more aggressive, with tactics that are surprising and creating new risks and issues that require careful attention during an incident to be prepare for. We will translate these developments into practical guidance for CISOs, drawing on recent enforcement patterns to outline a practical framework for building the evidence regulators increasingly demand.

Mobilizing Innovation to Secure the Homeland
Pedro Allende, Under Secretary, DHS S&T

S&T sits at the intersection of mission needs and emerging tech possibilities. This is where mission gaps become priorities for operationalizing science and technology, where prototypes become field tested capabilities, and where the Department ensures that tech applications are responsible, secure, and anchored to the frontlines. Understanding industry problems, threats and their technology advances helps us make informed decisions on what levels of risk are tolerable for S&T’s RDT&E role. Technology is a force multiplier, a risk reducer, and a strategic advantage when operationalized for frontline missions. Partnering with industry in order to know what is important and what priorities to solve by taking an industry first approach when mobilizing innovation to make America safer.

Through the AI Fog: The 3 Key Problems Defining AI Security
Manoj Nair, CTO, Snyk

It’s 5 pm on Friday. You’re the CISO — and your AI security program has already been tested at machine speed before you’ve answered a single email. That’s the AI Fog: not a moment that passes, but the operating environment security leaders now run in permanently. Creation has moved to machine speed. Validation hasn’t. In this session, Manoj Nair unpacks the three forces reshaping AI security in 2026 — automated attacks, untrusted agentic development, and ungoverned AI applications — and makes the case CISOs can’t ignore: the systems generating your code cannot be trusted to secure it.

3:15 PM – 3:55 PM

More Attacker Automation Doesn’t Mean More Attacker Advantage — It Can Mean More Defender Control
Ben Denkers, SVP of Commercial Strategy, Product, & Growth, Booz Allen Hamilton

AI has transformed the landscape of cyberattacks, accelerating their speed and scale. Yet, the story is more nuanced than simple escalation. While attackers leverage automation to move faster, defenders are not merely reacting—they are redefining the terms of engagement.

The core asymmetry lies in how AI perceives reality. AI agents are literal, making them uniquely susceptible to deception. They struggle to distinguish between what is true and what is plausible, a limitation that defenders can exploit. Deception, when thoughtfully designed, becomes more than a defensive tactic—it is a strategic lever to ethically denigrate the reasoning and capability of the AI attackers and drive a new level of actionable intelligence and control.

Getting to Yes: How CISOs Meet The Board’s AI Mandate
Andy Berman, CEO, Runlayer

Your board wants AI transformation to accelerate, and your workforce is losing patience. Rather than wait for approval, employees are running agents, connecting MCPs, and authorizing risky permissions, leaving you with shadow AI and new threat vectors.

To enable AI securely, the safe path must be the easy path. Andy Berman, CEO of Runlayer, will break down the anatomy of an AI control plane, your fastest path to accelerating AI transformation with security and control built-in. You’ll walk away with a clear framework and action plan to get to “yes”.

Are We Ready to Trust AI in Cybersecurity: A Panel Discussion with Lou and Robert
Lou Manousos, Co-Founder & CEO, Ent

While other teams embrace AI, CISOs still have to decide where it can be trusted, which decisions require a human in the loop, and which actions can never run unchecked.

Join Lou and Robert for a candid, lively debate about responsible AI adoption as AI-powered offense becomes routine. Drawing on recent headlines involving Anthropic and OpenAI/Hugging Face, they will examine whether either frontier or open source AI can be trusted with cyber defense, where it creates new risks, and what guardrails are needed before giving it more authority. They will broaden the discussion to address AI as a new pillar of computing and how securing this shift in future impacts investment across humans and systems.

A New Path to CISO and Why We Need One
Brandon Swafford, CISO

The role of CISO has been changing for years but the speed of technology is increasing. The standard approach to training new CISOs has to evolve and we need to look in new places to find the talent to live in a world with AI. The role of CISO differs between industries but the paths that lead people to it have suffered from gatekeeping and misunderstood approaches. Let’s talk about building the next generation.

11:20 AM – 12:00 PM

Navigating the AI Security Moment: Myth, Reality, and What CISOs Must Do Now
Iain Mulholland, EVP, CISO, Salesforce

We are living through a compression of history: a decade of change arriving in weeks. Security leaders face consequential decisions about AI adoption, risk, and AI-enabled threats with incomplete maps and shifting terrain.

This roundtable cuts through the noise: the narratives worth examining, the assumptions worth scrutinizing, and the tensions between how practitioners are responding and how AI developers think about safety. For CISOs, the pressure to have answers has never been greater. Led by Iain Mulholland, CISO, Salesforce, this is where we start building them together.

Takedowns and Total Defence: Disrupting Adversary Infrastructure and Operationalizing Resilience
Greg Murray, SVP Cyber Security, Privacy & Network, Loblaw Companies Limited
Carey Frey, CSO, CISO, VP, TELUS

Frontier AI models, software vulnerabilities, and stolen identities are driving the current cybersecurity agenda. Yet, modern adversaries quietly continue to pre-position destructive capabilities at scale by abusing our networks, digital ecosystems, and AI platforms. Moving far beyond traditional advanced persistent threat (APT) activity—from Volt Typhoon’s living-off-the-land tactics to the exploitation of commercial residential proxy networks—the first half of this session will dissect the modern catalog of these threat platforms and examine their evolution into persistent infrastructure leveraged for cybercrime, fraud, and geopolitical advantage. Crucially, the session will evaluate how CISOs can actively engage in industry takedown models to disrupt this new theatre’s operational architecture.

The second half looks to an unconventional blueprint for survival: Finland’s doctrine of “Total Defence” (Kokonaismaanpuolustus). By translating this whole-of-society strategy into a modern corporate framework, CISOs can build a unified front that bridges technical security operations, third-party supply chain interdependencies, business continuity, and executive leadership. Attendees will walk away with a practical roadmap to operationalize Total Defence within their enterprise—shifting their organizations from reactive incident response to an institutionalized state of collective resilience that ensures survival even when critical societal dependencies crumble.
