A CISO Panel: Preemptive Security in an AI World

Cybersecurity has entered a new era—one where machine-speed attacks, single-use malicious infrastructure, and AI-driven adversaries are rendering traditional detect-and-respond models dangerously insufficient. CISOs are shifting toward preemptive security—finding exposures before attackers do, blocking threats before connection, and making prevention an operational discipline. Join Jeffrey Vinson (former CISO, Harris Health), Andy Ellis (former CISO, Akamai), and Danelle Au (VP, Product & Solutions Marketing, Infoblox) as they break down what preemptive security really means and how to implement it inside modern enterprises. Walk away with practical guidance and best practices on: - Rebalancing your security strategy for preemptive security versus detection and response - How to structure teams for a preemptive security operating model - Demonstrating value and building measurable, board-ready KPIs
