Surviving the validationcrisis

The keynote that doubles as a book release presentation will explore the evolving challenges in cybersecurity, focusing on the cultural gaps that undermine security efforts across organizations. Drawing from the themes in The Validation Crisis, the talk highlights the disconnect between leadership and operational levels, emphasizing the need for consistent validation and alignment of security practices to ensure their effectiveness.

A key focus will be on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in both enhancing and compromising security. With AI becoming a tool for both defenders and attackers, the talk will stress the importance of a proactive and adaptive approach to managing AI-related risks.

The presentation will also address broader industry challenges, such as the increasing complexity of technology, the impact of regulatory changes, and the crucial need for fostering a robust security culture. Attendees will gain practical insights into addressing these cultural and technological hurdles, reinforcing the idea that security must be a shared responsibility across all organizational levels.
