As artificial intelligence transforms the business landscape, the role of the Chief Information Security Officer—or more aptly, the Chief Innovation Security Officer—is evolving into a critical business leadership function. In this keynote, Roland Cloutier, award winning Global Security Executive and Author will explore how today’s CISOs must strategically balance and execute cybersecurity across three foundational pillars:

1. Enable: Designing secure-by-default services and architectures that accelerate AI adoption across the enterprise without compromising risk posture.

2. Protect: Anticipating and defending against a new generation of cyber threats emerging from AI-driven attack surfaces and adversarial technologies.

3. Optimize: Leveraging AI itself to enhance and scale cybersecurity operations—improving threat detection, incident response, and decision-making through intelligent automation and analytics.

This session offers practical insights and leadership strategies for CISOs and other Technology Executives to position themselves at the intersection of innovation and security—empowering the business to move faster, smarter, and more securely in the AI age.
