Title: Data Security Strategies for a Gen AI World

Abstract:
Generative AI is here to stay, and it’s transforming the way we use and protect data. But as AI adoption skyrockets, organizations are asking: How do we balance innovation with security?

This can be a tough question for many organizations to answer, but it all comes down to one thing - embracing a data-centric approach.

• Explore the risks and challenges that come with deploying advanced AI systems
• Better understand the AI landscape and why data security, data usage, and AI-SPM are important elements
• Deep dive into the domains of AI security, which include AI copilots and chatbots, AI agents, and AI infrastructure
