Activities

CISO Panel

An interactive simulation of an AI agent launch and the incident that follows. Watch security leaders navigate business pressure, governance gaps, and live incident response in real time.

The Scenario

An AI Agent Launch Under Pressure

A company is under significant business pressure to improve service performance quickly during a critical period. Leadership pushes forward with the rapid launch of an AI agent into a high-volume service workflow to reduce backlog, improve response times, and automate routine actions.

What controls should be in place? What happens when the rollout goes wrong? Our panel of CISOs will walk through the decisions, tradeoffs, and response actions they would expect in practice.

Session Format

Two Acts, One Crisis

Part One

Controls, Guardrails & Governance

The first half of the session focuses on what should be in place when the business is determined to launch. What guardrails actually hold up under deadline pressure? Where do governance frameworks succeed, and where do they get shortcut?

Part Two

Live Incident Response

The session shifts into real-time response after the rollout goes wrong, creating customer impact, operational disruption, and executive escalation. Watch how seasoned CISOs make decisions, communicate, and contain a crisis as it unfolds.

Live Audience Participation

Audience members will participate throughout the session using Poll Everywhere, helping surface stakeholder pressure and priorities in real time. The CISOs will then react to those pressures and discuss the controls, decisions, communications, and response actions they would expect in practice.

This session is designed to be practical, engaging, and highly interactive, giving attendees insight into how security leaders think through AI risk, business pressure, and incident response in the real world.
