Session Details
Part 1: Executive Keynote - The New Rules of AI Security
AI is changing the speed and economics of cyberattacks. It is compressing the time between vulnerability discovery and exploitation, and lowering barriers for threat actors. At the same time, enterprises are rapidly embedding AI into core workflows, decisions, and operations, creating new questions around exposure, control, and trust.
In this opening keynote, Sumit Dhawan and Ryan Kalember will outline what is changing, why it matters, and how organizations can move forward with clarity and control as AI adoption scales.
You'll learn:
- Why security must evolve to address both human and AI activity
- How AI security, AI data security, and shadow AI fit together as one continuum
- What organizations should prioritize now to enable safe AI adoption

Why AI Security Can't Wait
AI agents are already inside your environment accessing sensitive data, moving at machine speed, and operating outside of existing controls. The question isn't whether to act. It's how fast you can get ahead of it.
Join us for a 90-minute virtual summit with Proofpoint CEO Sumit Dhawan, Chief Strategy Officer Ryan Kalember, and practitioners sharing what this looks like in production today and how Proofpoint can help you with real-time controls to adopt AI safely.
We will share:
- - Why today’s controls weren’t built for agents and what runtime controls should look like
- - Real-world AI security use cases, priorities, and controls
- - A first look at Proofpoint’s newest AI security capabilities, built for how AI actually operates
- - What organizations should prioritize now to enable safe AI adoption
