Latest News & Updates
AI is already changing how organizations across the defense industrial base manage security, compliance, risk and day-to-day operations. The advantage won’t simply go to the organizations adopting AI first. It will go to those that know where to use it, how to govern it and how to deploy it securely in classified, CUI and highly regulated environments.
AI for Industrial Security Day is not a conference about the future of AI. It’s a practical working day focused on what your organization needs to do now.
Join industrial security, cybersecurity, technology, legal and compliance leaders for a focused day on turning AI strategy into secure operational reality. You’ll examine how organizations are using AI and automation to strengthen industrial security, protect sensitive information, reduce manual processes, identify supply chain risk and improve decision-making without introducing new security or compliance vulnerabilities.
Through real-world case studies and practical discussions, you’ll learn how to:
- Identify the right use cases for AI across industrial security operations
- Evaluate AI technologies for classified, CUI and regulated environments
- Build an AI governance framework that protects sensitive information without slowing innovation
- Address cybersecurity, cloud and supply chain risks created by emerging technologies
- Determine when to build, buy or integrate AI solutions
- Align security, legal, compliance and technology teams around responsible AI adoption
- Turn AI pilots and experimentation into secure, scalable implementation
The question isn’t whether AI will transform industrial security. It’s whether your organization will be ready to use it securely.
