The ASIS Foundation is about to release a groundbreaking study on the extent of convergence of physical security, cyber security, and business continuity in the United States, Europe, and India. More than 1,000 security professionals responded to the survey supporting the study. This session puts a human face to the study, with security executives debating the pros and cons of blending cyber, physical, and/or business continuity. - AI, VR, 5G: Charge of the Tech Brigade
To stay relevant, CSOs must keep up with the latest technology that both enables and threatens security. Find out what security executives need to know now about these technologies. - Deepfakes and Beyond: AI, Trust, and Security
The convergence of global power shifts, societal tensions, changing levels of trust, and the rise of technology are altering how we live, conduct business, and govern. As investment in AI, VR, and robotics grows, technology-driven disruptive forces will transform governments, businesses, and societies alike. - A Dynamic “Anti-Panel”: Take the Stage as an Ad Hoc Panelist
Face it—sometimes you know more about the subject being discussed by presenters than they do. Or else, they don’t delve into the issues you really want to hear about. Now’s your time to shine. Attendees will identify a timely topic and assemble an ad hoc panel to discuss it. - No Law Enforcement? No Problem: The New Breed of CSOs
Military and law enforcement backgrounds are no longer required for the CSO role.
