The West CISO Transformation Assembly brings together regional industry leaders to discuss the latest trends, innovations, and challenges shaping the tech landscape. This exclusive event is a unique opportunity to network, collaborate, earn CPE credits and gain insights from some of the brightest minds in the industry.  
 
Gina Cardelli, Principal Security Strategist at Fortra, is presenting:
 
Uncharted — AI Risk Frameworks for Forward-Thinking CISOs
 
AI has outpaced the frameworks meant to secure it. Most organizations have deployed AI in some form — yet few CISOs can answer with confidence: where is our exposure, and how deep does it go?
 
This session introduces a practical lens for mapping AI risk across the dimensions every enterprise now faces but rarely examines together. Each carries a distinct threat surface, a distinct business impact, and demands a distinct security posture.
This is not theory. It is a working map for security leaders ready to move from awareness to action.
 
Key Takeaways:
  • Why treating AI risk as a single problem leaves your most critical gaps unaddressed
  • How to assess your organization's true depth of exposure — and where most companies are flying blind
  • A prioritization model to determine where your organization needs to move first
