A strategic approach to securing enterprise AI adoption, innovation, and transformation.

November 5, 2026

9:00am-5:00pm

7 CPE / 0.7 CEU / CISSP / 7 PDU Credits Awarded

Conference location: Donald E. Stephens Convention Center Rosemont (O’Hare) Illinois

  

Overview

As organizations move from AI experimentation to widespread enterprise adoption, security leaders must develop new strategies to protect AI applications, data, identities, and autonomous systems. The AI Security Strategies Conference explores practical approaches for securing AI environments, managing emerging risks, and building scalable security programs that enable responsible innovation.

What You Will Learn

In this one day conference attendees will learn:

  • How to integrate security practices throughout the AI application development lifecycle
  • Strategies for securing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications and protecting enterprise knowledge
  • How identity and access management approaches must evolve for AI applications and autonomous agents
  • Best practices for preparing organizations for agentic AI and autonomous decision-making systems
  • How security leaders are building practical AI governance models that support innovation and accountability
  • Emerging strategies and lessons learned from organizations securing the next generation of AI technologies

CONFERENCE AGENDA

8:00am – 9:00am: Registration and Continental Breakfast

9:00am – 10:00am: AI Application Security: Integrating Security Into the AI Development Lifecycle

As organizations build and deploy AI-powered applications, security teams must adapt traditional application security practices to address new risks introduced by AI technologies. This session explores how organizations are incorporating security throughout the AI development lifecycle — from design and testing to deployment and ongoing maintenance — while enabling developers to innovate safely.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand how AI changes traditional application security practices
  • Explore security testing approaches for AI-enabled applications
  • Learn how development, security, and AI teams can collaborate effectively
  • Identify opportunities to integrate security earlier into AI development workflows

10:00am – 10:30am: Sponsor & Refreshment Break

10:30am – 11:30am: Securing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Protecting Enterprise Knowledge in AI Applications

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become a popular approach for connecting AI applications with enterprise data and knowledge sources. However, these architectures introduce new security considerations around data access, retrieval controls, permissions, and unintended information exposure. This session examines how organizations can securely implement RAG-based AI solutions while protecting valuable enterprise information.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand security risks specific to RAG architectures and AI knowledge systems
  • Explore methods for protecting enterprise data used by AI applications
  • Learn approaches for managing access controls within AI-powered solutions
  • Identify best practices for testing and securing AI applications

11:30am – 12:30pm:  AI Identity and Access Management: Who or What Is Allowed to Act?

As AI systems evolve from assistants into autonomous agents capable of taking actions and interacting with enterprise systems, organizations must rethink traditional identity and access approaches. This session explores how security teams are addressing AI identities, permissions, authorization decisions, and accountability in environments where both humans and machines are making decisions.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand the emerging role of AI identities and machine-based access
  • Explore how organizations are managing permissions for AI agents and applications
  • Learn strategies for monitoring and controlling AI-driven actions
  • Identify how identity strategies must evolve for autonomous systems

12:30pm – 1:30pm: Lunch and Exhibit Break

1:30pm – 2:30pm: Preparing for Agentic AI: Managing Autonomous Decision-Making Risks

The next generation of AI will move beyond assistance into autonomous systems capable of planning, executing tasks, and interacting with business workflows. As enterprises explore AI agents, security leaders must establish safeguards around autonomy, oversight, and decision-making. This session examines how organizations can prepare for the risks and opportunities of agentic AI.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand the security implications of autonomous AI systems
  • Explore approaches for establishing human oversight and accountability
  • Learn how organizations can monitor AI agent behavior and actions
  • Identify key considerations before deploying AI-driven automation

2:30pm – 3:00pm: Refreshment Break

3:00pm – 4:00pm: AI Governance Operations: Turning AI Principles Into Enterprise Practice

Organizations are moving beyond AI experimentation and beginning to operationalize responsible AI programs. Successful AI adoption requires clear ownership, repeatable processes, and collaboration between security, technology, legal, compliance, and business teams. This session explores how enterprises are creating practical AI governance strategies that support innovation while managing risk.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand how organizations are building practical AI governance models
  • Explore approaches for defining AI ownership and accountability
  • Learn how security teams can partner with business and compliance leaders
  • Identify strategies for scaling AI adoption responsibly

4:00pm – 5:00pm: Panel Discussion: The Next Phase of Enterprise AI Security — Preparing for What Comes Next

Panelists will include Enterprise Identity Executives sharing the strategies, tactics, and lessons learned.

As AI capabilities continue to evolve, security leaders are preparing for the next wave of challenges surrounding adoption, automation, and enterprise transformation. This panel brings together practitioners to discuss emerging priorities, lessons learned, and how organizations are adapting their security strategies for an AI-driven future.

Key Takeaways:

  • Hear how organizations are preparing for the next stage of AI adoption
  • Discuss emerging risks and opportunities in enterprise AI security
  • Explore strategies for balancing innovation, security, and business goals
  • Learn what security leaders believe will shape the future of AI protection
