The first round of the roundtable discussion starts. You can participate in three different discussions.

Roundtable 1: Netanel (Neo) Azoulay, CEO & Co-Founder at Mesh Security
Co-Moderator: Jeff Schiemann, SIGS Contributor and CISO at AMINA Bank

Unified SAIL for the AI Era: Building the System of Decisions
The Security Analytics & Intelligence Layer (SAIL), introduced by Gartner, represents the next evolution of enterprise cybersecurity. In the AI era, the challenge is no longer collecting more telemetry. The challenge is turning fragmented security signals into faster, more confident decisions.

Join this discussion as we explore how organizations can evolve from disconnected security products into a unified System of Decisions that delivers measurable security outcomes across the enterprise.

Key Takeaways

• Understand which exposures truly threaten critical business assets by combining identity, vulnerabilities, attack paths, and business context.
• Measure the ROI of Zero Trust initiatives with defensible, board-ready metrics instead of technology-centric KPIs.
• Enable an Agentic Security Workforce, where AI augments security teams and automates security operations at scale.
• Continuously measure, validate, prioritize, and eliminate cyber exposure through a unified decision layer rather than disconnected security products.

Roundtable 2: Dominik Roithmeier, NG Identity Specialist at CrowdStrike
Co-Moderator: SIGS Contributor

An Identity Crisis: Securing Hybrid Infrastructure in the Age of AI Agents
Hybrid Infrastructure has never been easy. As AI agents become autonomous actors within hybrid environments, the traditional identity perimeters dissolves and security teams are faced with an explosion of non-human identities that are creating new attack surfaces.

This session explores what steps need to be taken to close the identity security gap before adversaries exploit the blind spots that come with AI adoption and how organisations can build a unified identity security strategy that spans humans, machines, and AI — without sacrificing speed or scale.

Roundtable 3: Nikola Novoselec, Technical Director, Agentic AI Architecture & Governance at Swiss Post
Co-Moderator: Cloudflare / SIGS Contributor

Zero Trust for the Agentic Enterprise: From Policy Fabric to Controlled Autonomy

• Everyone is excited about autonomous AI agents. Almost nobody is ready to govern them.
• Enterprises are moving from AI systems that answer questions to AI agents that take action: writing code, modifying infrastructure, calling APIs, opening tickets, testing systems, reviewing changes, and operating across toolchains at machine speed. That creates a new version of an old architectural problem. Who is the entity? What is it allowed to reach? Which tools may it execute? What evidence supports its decision? Who is accountable when it acts?
• The answer is not to bolt another AI security product onto the side. The answer is to treat Agentic AI as an enterprise architecture problem, and to build it on the same Zero Trust policy fabric used to govern humans, services, partners, suppliers, customers, and machine-to-machine systems.
• Drawing from the enterprise Zero Trust Program at Swiss Post and the development of Codeflare as a governed agentic engine, this session connects Zero Trust architecture with Agentic AI governance. We will explore how consensus architecture, explicit trust boundaries, policy-governed access, and continuous verification become the foundation for safe autonomy. Then we will apply those principles to agents: identity lineage, scoped tool access, gateway guardrails, Maker-Checker approval patterns, graduated autonomy, and forensic attribution.
• The central argument is simple: Agentic AI does not replace Zero Trust. It makes Zero Trust operationally mandatory.

Key Takeaways

• Zero Trust as the Agentic Control Plane:
  • How identity, policy, context, and continuous verification become the governance foundation for autonomous AI.
• Controlled Execution Model:
  • How to link agents, tools, evidence, approvals, and accountability into one operating model across SDLC, operations, and infrastructure.
• Graduated Autonomy:
  • How to move safely from human approval to controlled agent execution using Maker-Checker patterns, confidence thresholds, escalation paths, and policy gates.

Roundtable 4: Thierry Silly, Lead Sales Engineer at Check Point

The Need for Speed: What If AI Is Not Only the Challenge, but Also the Answer?
Cybersecurity leaders are under increasing pressure to move faster than ever while managing growing threats, expanding complexity, and persistent resource constraints.

AI is undoubtedly reshaping the threat landscape, but it is also creating new opportunities to strengthen security operations and improve business resilience.

Join a peer discussion exploring how AI can help organizations:

• Make faster, more informed decisions
• Strengthen cyber resilience
• Accelerate security operations
• Improve risk and compliance management
• Enhance security architecture and incident response

Together, we'll explore real-world examples of how AI can help teams make sense of vast amounts of security information, improve policy and operational decision-making, and accelerate investigation and response across increasingly complex hybrid environments.

The discussion will be driven by your experiences and challenges, examining where AI can deliver practical value today, where you would trust AI to advise, where it could assist, and where it might ultimately take action on your behalf. We'll also explore the governance, controls, and confidence organizations need to put in place before that becomes a reality.

We're all being asked to do more with less. The question is no longer whether AI will impact cybersecurity, but how organizations can harness it effectively and responsibly.

What if AI became your most valuable cybersecurity resource?

Roundtable 5: Christer Swartz, Director, Industry Solutions & Tech Integrations at Illumio
Co-Moderator: SIGS Contributor

Zero Trust is the Foundation of Protecting yourself from the AI-enabled Threats
The current controversy around the Anthropic Mythos security AI model has now enabled the stark reality were the amount of time between a cyber vulnerability being assigned a CVE, and a threat-actor writing malicious code to take advantage of that vulnerability, has collapsed from months or years down to hours or minutes. No cyber prevention or detection approach will ever be able react as fast as AI-discovered vulnerabilities can now be compromised. Is cybersecurity doomed?

No. Zero Trust is now more relevant than ever, in the age of AI-enabled cybercrime. All of the threats which Mythos, or similar AI models, can compromise assume that the intended target can be reached. Zero Trust enforces and monitors the common dependency which all threats have in order to move between all workloads: segmentation.

Before we try to understand the intent and inner workings of a detected threat, Zero Trust enforces the paths which any threat needs to move. If you enforce the one weakness which all threats rely on, you can limit the scope of the inevitable cyber breach. That first hijacked workload becomes the last, keeping a small breach from migrating and escalating into a crisis.

Zero Trust isn’t just a good idea, it is the foundation of protecting yourself from the AI-enabled threats of today and tomorrow.

Roundtable 6: Raphael Lipp, Security Consultant at POPP Schweiz AG

Security Champions Passport: Building Cyber Resilience in the Age of AI
As AI transforms the way organizations operate, cyber resilience depends on empowering people across the business not just the security team. Join this roundtable to explore how the Security Champions Passport is cultivating a network of security advocates who help drive secure behaviors, responsible AI adoption, and a stronger security culture.

By attending this roundtable you will learn

• How empowering employees across the business creates a distributed network of advocates who strengthen security culture and reduce organizational risk
• Why the AI era requires a shift from awareness to proven readiness. Responsible AI adoption depends on continuously validating that people can recognize, respond to, and mitigate AI-related cyber risks, not just complete training
• Why a Security Champions program scales secure behaviors across the business. By combining practical learning, real-world simulations, and measurable outcomes, organizations can embed security into everyday decision-making and confidently adopt AI.

Roundtable 7: Archana Panchal, Customer Technology Advisor for Security (ALPS) at Kyndryl
Co-Moderator: SIGS Contributor

A Day in the Life of a Security Professional: defend against the Frontier AI Models
In the AI era, in the context of security, AI has fast started to mean “accelerating incidents”. Mythos was just the beginning, and things could get much worse, before they finally start to become better.

Organizations are dealing with the duality and dilemma of AI being both welcomed in the front door, AND becoming a case of “the call is coming from inside the house” - its most strategic asset, and potentially, its weakest link

So how DO you safeguard against an accelerated insider threat, that does not eat/sleep/rest, has no emotions when it fails, and has yet to understand the hippocratic principle of “first, do no harm”?

Join us, as we discuss some creative - and some not-so-imaginative - ways, to defend against the Frontier AI models.

Roundtable 8: Erik Van Buggenhout, Founder at NVISO & Senior Instructor at SANS
Co-Moderator: SIGS Contributor

The Agentic SOC: AI for Security Operations that stands up to enterprise reality
Every few months a new frontier model arrives, and the conversation resets: bigger context windows, better reasoning, higher benchmarks. But anyone trying to deploy AI inside a real security operation quickly learns that raw model power is rarely the bottleneck.

The future of AI in cybersecurity belongs to whoever builds the better architecture around the model – the data pipelines that feed it the right context, the workflows that turn its outputs into action, and the guardrails that make it trustworthy enough to ship into a regulated, high-stakes setting.

The goal is to strip manual work away from human analysts and redirect their expertise toward higher-value judgment, while AI agents absorb triage, correlation, and enrichment at scale – sharpening the SOC's edge against an evolving threat landscape.

Join the discussion on how to best apply AI in the SOC in a controlled, evidence-based way with governance, human oversight, and operational resilience built in.
