Data breaches, compliance failures and AI-driven risk are now boardroom issues and the decisions executives make are now under scrutiny.
We are accelerating toward an AI-first future and note that the stakes have shifted. Data exposure, regulatory pressure and emerging AI risks land firmly with the executive team. This briefing cuts through with lived perspective from leaders who have sat on both sides of the table, as operators and as board advisors.
Join David Allott, Field CISO at Veeam, and David Gee, Board Risk Advisor, Author and Non-Executive Director (former CIO and CISO), as they discuss the decisions that matter most:
- Executive accountability for data and compliance risk: When data exposure, regulation and AI converge, responsibility shifts and boards are watching.
- Knowing your data before crisis hits: Learn why visibility over what data you hold, where it lives and how sensitive it is has become a non-negotiable leadership priority.
- Regulatory complexity and executive trade-offs: New regulations across APJ are driving up risk and cost. Discover how senior leaders are now prioritising in an environment where you can’t comply with everything at once.
- Preparing data for an AI-first enterprise: AI amplifies risk when data isn’t governed so what should you do to prepare for this future shift.
