The New Control Plane: Leading Security in an AI‑Assisted World
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are rapidly becoming embedded across security operations—shaping how threats are detected, identities are assessed, and data risks are surfaced. As security platforms increasingly rely on AI‑assisted decision‑making, leadership responsibility is shifting. In this session we explore where AI and ML genuinely amplify security controls—such as accelerating incident response, analysing identity risk signals, and identifying data exposure—and where they introduce new classes of risk.
Enhancing AKS Security
As containerized applications become increasingly prevalent, ensuring robust security controls and policies is paramount.
In this session, we will explore the latest advancements and best practices in securing Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and we will cover a comprehensive range of topics, including network policies, identity and access management, threat detection, and compliance.
Attendees will gain insights into implementing security controls, leveraging Azure-native tools, and integrating third-party solutions to enhance the security posture of their AKS environments.
