Forcepoint AWARE - Closing Comments and Day Two Preview

You’ve heard why self-aware data security matters. Now it’s where the proof meets the pudding: making it real in environments with millions or billions of records, files, sprawling databases, and AI touching sensitive data at every turn.

In this fireside chat, Chief Product and Marketing Officer Naveen Palavalli teams up with CTO and Global Head of Engineering Bakshi Kohli to dig into how to start closing the Visibility-Control Gap — without adding complexity. 

They’ll share how to pick your starting point, align teams, and put controls in place that can adapt to AI-driven risk in real time.

The goal: visibility into what matters, adapting to risk, and scaling protection to pave the way to a simpler path for compliance and security.

Session Takeaways: 
- How to choose a practical starting point for securing AI-driven data flows 
- What adaptive protection looks like in action, from endpoint to cloud 
- Customer-tested ways to unify policies and reduce tool fatigue

The Future of Self-Aware Data Security

AI has changed the tempo of cyberattacks along with the margin for error. In this session, Darwish Azad, CISO at Emirates NBD, shares how organizations could adapt to detecting and disrupting AI-enabled threats in real time, using a blend of visibility, adaptive controls and automation.

Moderated by Rick Hanson, President of Go-to-Market at Forcepoint, here is an unfiltered account of what happens when a security team meets a fast-moving, AI-powered attack. You’ll learn how they identified the risk, closed the gaps and kept operations moving – and how you can apply the same tactics to your own environment.

Session Takeaways:
- Lessons to stop AI-driven data exfiltration
- How to adapt controls on the fly without breaking workflows
- Steps to build resilience against fast-changing threats

A Field Guide to Thwarting Sophisticated AI-Driven Threats

Data growth, AI adoption and tightening regulations are stretching CISOs and their teams to the limit.

Managing tools is one thing. The hardest part is making sure your teams align defenses to real, material threats, especially for AI, proving it to the board and keeping pace with how fast risk is changing in the cloud.

Ross Young, creator of the OWASP Threat and Safeguard Matrix, joins Alex Martinez, Director Solutions Architecture, Global Public Sector Partners at AWS, to share what they’re seeing inside security programs right now. From cloud transformation risks to AI-powered attack methods, they’ll walk through proven ways to connect visibility, strategy, and reporting.

Session Takeaways:
- Build a defensible strategy that maps directly to real AI-driven threats
- Anticipate and address cloud transformation risks before they escalate
- Communicate security priorities so boards and execs stay aligned

Ask The Experts: CISO Strategies to Control AI Risk

AI isn’t “on the way.” It’s already inside the workflows, tools, and cloud apps moving your data. And too often, that data is leaving your control before you even know it’s gone.

The real challenge goes beyond just seeing the risk. It’s acting in time to stop it. That’s the Visibility-Control Gap — and in an AI-driven world, it’s widening fast. 

In his welcome remarks, Ryan Windham shares what it takes to close that gap. You’ll hear how teams are combining real-time visibility with adaptive controls and automated protection to keep sensitive data safe without slowing down the business. This is about making AI work for you, not against you — and turning data security into an advantage instead of a roadblock. 

Session Takeaways: 
- Greater visibility alone isn’t solving today’s risk 
- The “Visibility-Control Gap” is becoming a new attack surface 
- AI is helping security teams recognize vulnerabilities and adapt fast

Closing the Visibility-Control Gap: Reimagining Data Security for the AI-Driven Future

Forcepoint hosts Rachael Lyon and Jonathan Knepher welcome Chris Hurst, CTO and Co-Founder of Blackwired, for a deep dive into the fast-evolving world of supply chain attacks, credential theft, and the future of cyber defense.
