2025 has been a year of continued unpredictability for CISOs who must not only tackle new and existing threats but also isolationism, recessions, and a trade war. They face increased oversight, interference, and pressure from stakeholders, with stakes high and mistakes seen as fatal. Instead of leading from a place of fear, seize the opportunity to respond with wisdom and agility. Deconstruct and anticipate the scenarios that this volatility brings; learn to act decisively to protect your organization and optimize your security program and spending; prepare to automate your entire security program; and plan for potential career transitions for yourself and your team.

For too long, risk management has been conflated with compliance or perceived as a cost center; meanwhile, foreseeable and often preventable risks materialize repeatedly. But you can turn the tables on today’s volatility by using risk management the right way. Savvy organizations know that risk management boosts their ability to plan strategically and execute surgically to get to the right decision at the right time. This track highlights the best practices that all organizations should employ to meet the top risk and compliance needs of 2025.

Rapid AI adoption, the move to the cloud, and the need for more resilient infrastructure are pushing organizations to rethink data security, improve cloud security posture, and adopt Zero Trust. Economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and the threat environment add to the strain that security teams are already facing, impacting data and security strategies. This track helps security leaders evolve their data security strategy for the AI era, strengthen cloud security posture, and advance Zero Trust initiatives.

The ever-present skills gap, new detection surfaces, and constantly changing technology make threat detection and response more challenging than ever. This track explores how to scale detection and response, make use of the latest technologies (including AI), and improve analyst experience in the security operations center for increased efficiency, better retention, and happier talent.

Today’s organizations need a fresh strategy and detailed roadmap for identity and fraud management to defend against the growing complexity of identity-related cyber attacks and to use AI to drive automation and operational efficiencies — all while delivering secure multichannel experiences that don’t impede the customer or employee experience. This track helps security leaders harness the chaos and complexity of identity and fraud and provides actionable guidance on optimal strategies for protecting identity and reducing fraud in the age of AI.

Keeping up with development has never been more difficult. While applications have proliferated before, now with AI-assisted software development and vibe coding (genAI development assistant tools), developers are generating more code, more quickly, and with even fewer safeguards. This track makes security order out of application development chaos by tackling disruptive topics such as software supply chain security, TuringBot governance, and service mesh security.
