How to Survive as a CISO in the Age of AI
The security industry loves silver bullets, and AI is the biggest one it has sold in a decade. Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the threat landscape at an unprecedented pace—offering threat actors new efficiency while promising defenders automated response capabilities. But how do security leaders navigate the noise between marketing promises and actual technical risk?

In this keynote, Dr. Paul Vixie breaks down the practical realities of AI for cybersecurity leaders. Beneath the noise and board-level panic lies an ugly truth: artificial intelligence doesn't change the fundamental laws of network architecture or security. He addresses why non-deterministic LLMs require rigid external boundaries, how automated reasoning provides provable security against model failure, and how CISOs can bridge the gap between technical defense and executive governance.

Key Takeaways:

• The AI Hype vs. Reality: What AI actually changes in threat landscapes.
• Shadow AI & Architecture: The truth about data leaks, rogue models, and fundamental system hygiene.
• Adversary Economics: How attackers actually leverage automation, and why traditional SOC models fail to match their speed.
• No-Nonsense Governance: Strategic advice on leading board conversations means translating AI risk models and shared responsibility into actionable strategy for corporate leadership.
