How can organizations build a data-centric security strategy that enables AI innovation while strengthening governance, compliance, and cyber resilience?

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how organizations operate, but it is also creating new security, governance, and regulatory challenges. As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, sensitive data is spreading across cloud platforms, SaaS applications, databases, and AI tools, often with limited visibility into where critical information resides or who can access it. At the same time, evolving regulations such as the EU AI Act, GDPR, and DORA are raising expectations for continuous governance rather than periodic compliance assessments. How can security leaders enable innovation while maintaining control over their organization's most valuable asset—its data?
Many organizations have invested heavily in securing infrastructure, identities, and endpoints, yet continue to struggle with understanding and protecting the data itself. Building a data-centric security strategy means continuously discovering, classifying, and governing sensitive information while aligning identity, access, and remediation efforts to reduce risk. By shifting security toward protecting the data regardless of where it resides, organizations can strengthen Zero Trust initiatives, improve resilience, and better demonstrate regulatory compliance.
Join fellow security leaders for an executive discussion exploring how organizations are modernizing data security for the AI era. Together, we'll discuss practical approaches to governing enterprise AI, improving data visibility, reducing exposure risk, and building a continuous governance model that supports both innovation and regulatory readiness.
