This invitation-only Roundtable for members will be a closed-door discussion on breach containment in the age of AI-accelerated intrusions. As attackers increasingly use automation and AI to move faster across enterprise environments, traditional perimeter defenses and static segmentation models are no longer enough to limit the spread of a compromise. This roundtable will explore how security and IT leaders are strengthening containment strategies through least-privilege access, zero trust segmentation, application visibility, policy enforcement, and faster response to lateral movement. The discussion will focus on practical lessons for reducing blast radius, protecting critical systems, and building a more resilient security architecture without adding unnecessary operational complexity.
