The landscape of data security is undergoing rapid transformation. While information security leaders continue to navigate how AI is impacting their businesses, this year’s iSMG Data Security Summit in Dallas focused on many of the basics, including challenges in protecting cloud platforms, data visibility, securing machine identities, and protecting sensitive data regardless of location.
Many of the panels had CISOs sharing practical advice on building and implementing resilient data security strategies, reducing attack surfaces, and getting buy-in from boards, business leaders, and employees on the importance of data security. The meteoric rise of generative AI and agentic AI has many organizations scrambling to provide employees and customers with the benefits of the technologies while ensuring that sensitive data is controlled and protected.
Ron Arden—EVP, CTO, and COO of Fasoo, Inc.—delivered a forward-looking presentation that explored how organizations must adapt to stay ahead. Rather than offering a routine update, he outlined a strategic vision for navigating today’s complex threat environment and preparing for what’s next.
