Trust in AI:
CxO Exchange

An invitation-only experience for CIOs and CISOs


Trust in AI: CxO Exchange is an exclusive, invitation-only experience designed for CIOs and CISOs navigating the opportunities and risks of AI transformation. Taking place on Tuesday, September 1 and Wednesday, September 2, this curated program brings together industry peers, CrowdStrike leaders, and subject matter experts for candid discussions on AI-driven threats, governance, resilience, identity, operational readiness, and board oversight.
 

Session Topics

AI is reshaping the threat landscape and accelerating business transformation at an unprecedented pace. This candid conversation with CrowdStrike leaders will explore the realities of AI-driven risk, the opportunities of enterprise adoption, and the decisions that leaders need to make now to prepare for the next phase of the AI era.

What does it really take to move AI from pilot to production? CIOs and CISOs share hard-earned lessons, including what worked, what broke, what security teams wish they’d known sooner, and where organizations are struggling to scale AI securely, responsibly, and effectively.

AI agents are becoming trusted participants in business processes, with access to systems, data, and decisions once limited to employees and applications. Learn how unintended access, misuse, accidental exposure, and autonomous actions are creating a new class of insider risk - and what CISOs can do to govern, monitor, and contain it.

As AI expands the speed and scale of attacks, identity becomes the control plane for enterprise resilience. This session explores how leading organizations are shifting from static access to continuous verification to secure human identities, non-human identities, and AI agents against AI-driven threats - with practical guidance on achieving zero standing privileges, strengthening verification, and building identity systems that assume compromise.

AI can accelerate detection, but real value comes from response. Explore what it takes to operationalize AI Detection and Response, including how to identify AI-specific threats, respond to model misuse and data exposure, and integrate AI risk into the workflows, telemetry, and response motions security teams already rely on.

AI is changing security faster than teams can adapt. This session explores practical strategies for building resilient, adaptable cybersecurity teams equipped to keep pace with evolving threats and technologies, including where to automate, where to preserve human judgment, and how to redesign roles, skills, and decision-making for an AI-accelerated environment.

When every decision matters, leaders need more than an incident response plan. Learn a practical framework for navigating crises, coordinating executive response, maintaining stakeholder trust, and ensuring business continuity under pressure.

AI is creating new forms of financial, legal, and operational risk. Learn what effective governance looks like in the age of AI, and what CISOs need to measure, document, and communicate to reduce organizational risk.

Effective AI governance starts long before the board meeting. Learn how to build trust, alignment, and relationships that enable stronger oversight and better decisions, including how to frame AI risk in business terms that prepare directors for emerging threats and turn governance from a reporting exercise into an operating advantage.
