From Oversight to Foresight: How Boards Lead in Cybersecurity and AI Governance

Registration opens soon. 

This members-only Leadership Exchange Forum, presented by Zscaler, will provide directors with an exclusive opportunity to engage in a high-level discussion on the evolving intersection of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. Designed to foster candid dialogue among peers, this sponsor-driven session offers practical insights and governance perspectives tailored to today’s rapidly changing risk environment.

Cybersecurity is a fundamental concern in today’s boardroom. With escalating cyber threats and the rapid rise of cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), directors face a constantly shifting landscape that demands their attention. Boards must go beyond traditional oversight, embracing new strategies to navigate the emerging risks associated with both cybersecurity and AI technologies.

Understanding the intersection of these issues has never been more critical. Artificial intelligence is already reshaping the threat landscape, from more sophisticated attacks to AI-driven defense mechanisms that could transform how organizations respond to breaches. Against this backdrop, ensuring organizational cyber readiness is essential to building resilience and protecting stakeholder trust.

During this exclusive dinner, Helmuth Ludwig - author, cybersecurity and AI expert, and former CIO of Siemens - will lead a discussion designed to equip board members with insights into evaluating their organization's cyber maturity, overseeing risks related to AI, and strengthening overall readiness. Drawing on real-world experience and case studies, Mr. Ludwig will share practical strategies boards can use to enhance their oversight practices in this critical area.

Join us for an engaging session where you’ll have the opportunity to exchange perspectives, share challenges, and uncover actionable approaches with fellow board directors. This dinner promises to be an invaluable conversation as we explore the future of cybersecurity and AI in board governance.
