For CIOs and infrastructure leaders, the traditional playbook for securing infrastructure is no longer effective. In an era when frontier AI models can discover and weaponize software vulnerabilities in minutes, treating security as an afterthought to be "patched in" creates unsustainable operational overhead and unacceptable business risk. Because network infrastructure holds the keys to the enterprise kingdom, an exploit at this core layer can significantly impact an organization’s security posture.
Join technology, infrastructure, and security leaders for an exclusive executive briefing where we will challenge the legacy "patch-and-pray" mindset and bridge the gap between architectural resilience and real-world defense. We begin by analyzing the foundational blueprint with Ken Duda, Arista's President and CTO, and Lee Klarich, Chief Product and Technology Officer from Palo Alto Networks. Listen to understand why software architecture is key to gaining visibility into your attack surface, limiting the blast radius, and improving patching efficiency.
The conversation then expands into a dynamic executive roundtable featuring the CISOs of Anthropic (Jason Clinton), Arista (Jason Bevis), and Palo Alto Networks (Marc Benoit). Together, they will detail how security programs must evolve to use AI to amplify your threat modeling, proactive security assessments, and operational security efforts, with a focus on fewer fire drills and rapid risk mitigation.
Strategic Takeaways for Tech & Infra Leaders:
- Architectural Resilience Matters: Why software architecture is key to limiting proliferation of vulnerabilities.
- Mitigating the Blast Radius: How to design security programs that use AI to drive prevention and containment strategies that combat the AI-augmented threat landscape.
- Telemetry as Ground Truth: Why real-time visibility into your infrastructure is more important than ever.
