In today’s cybersecurity landscape, the combination of AI, automation, and human-centric leadership is transforming how teams defend against emerging threats. This session explores the crucial role of team leadership and soft skills—like communication, emotional intelligence, and adaptability—in the successful adoption of AI-driven cybersecurity strategies. Drawing from real-world case studies, I will share practical examples of how effective leadership and collaboration have enhanced AI initiatives, enabling teams to proactively manage risks and navigate adversarial AI threats.

Through a series of examples, I’ll illustrate how cybersecurity leaders can foster a culture of innovation, bridge technical and non-technical teams, and drive seamless implementation of predictive AI and automation tools. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies for leading high-performing teams, navigating change, and building resilience in a world where technology alone cannot fully secure the organization.
