Modern Security Leaders are expected to have answers for AI.
Your board seeks to understand the risks and your plan to manage them. Stakeholders are eager to leverage AI for innovation and business growth, making it an unstoppable force. Join us at Black Hat for a vendor-agnostic dinner and engaging conversation on AI risk, where we'll exchange ideas and best practices.
The evening will begin with a brief, insightful “rethinking cyber risk” talk by Richard Seiersen, Qualys’ Chief Risk Technology Officer, and renowned author of two books on cyber risk measurement. Lightly facilitated tabletop discussions will ensue while drinks flow and dinner is served.
Following dinner, Richard will be signing his book, “How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk"
