Cyber & Risk Resilience in the Age of AI

During this interactive, one-hour virtual session, national AI expert Dr. Robert Clougherty will lead us as we address a rapidly evolving challenge for every organization:

AI increases risk—even as it offers new defensive capability.

We’ll discuss model/prompt/data leakage risks, deepfake fraud and identity threats, acceptable-use guardrails, and the collaboration required between IT, risk, legal, and functional offices. We’ll also explore how AI can accelerate detection, monitoring, and incident response—if it’s governed well.

We’ll explore questions such as:

• How do we protect our organizations in the face of multiple, AI-driven threat vectors?
• What guardrails feel essential right now (identity, data access, logging/audit, vendor controls)?
• Where is your organization most exposed—fraud, phishing, data leakage, or reputational risk?

This session is designed to help participants translate “AI risk” into concrete controls and shared responsibilities—not abstract worry.

Agenda:

• In the News
