Multi-Track Executive Women’s Forum: What’s Hot in AI and Security?

Event Description

According to recent surveys, a significant majority of cybersecurity professionals believe artificial intelligence (AI) is highly effective for detecting previously unnoticed threats, with around 70% stating its effectiveness. 90% of organizations are implementing or planning to explore use cases for AI, yet only 5% feel confident in their AI security preparedness. At the same time, 85% of cybersecurity leaders attribute recent attacks to bad actors utilizing generative AI, indicating a growing concern about AI-powered threats.

With so much to discuss in this field, Women & Hi Tech is proud to present a multi-track Executive Women’s Forum to cover what's hot in AI and Security. Join us at the Ivy Tech Community College Conference Center and Culinary Institute on Thursday, March 13.

Attendees will choose one of three sessions to listen, learn, and contribute to the discussion. Then, network with peers after to hear what was covered elsewhere and share your key takeaways!

This event is FREE for Women & Hi Tech members and $25 for non-members.
