SUMMARY:[Webinar] Securing AI: No Hype. No Panic. Just Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Securing AI: No Hype. No Panic. Just Strategy\nAI is no longer a future conversation. It is already embedded across products\, workflows\, and decisions\, often moving faster than policies\, architectures\, and operating models can keep up. \nThis roundtable is not about headlines or theory. It is a practical\, leader-level discussion anchored on one core question: how do we secure AI in a way that holds up over the next two to three years? \nThe starting point is straightforward and honest: there is no silver bullet for AI security. Organizations making real progress are applying strong security fundamentals to emerging AI architectures and deliberately evolving controls as adoption scales. \nRegister Here \nWhen: Tuesday\, March 3\, 2026  |  1:00 – 2:00 PM ET\nWhere: Hybrid Event with Registration Link \n\nSession Takeaways:\n\nWe will cut through the noise and focus on risks that show up in real environments\, not slide decks. This includes how AI agents reshape identity and access assumptions\, where data leakage and integrity fail as automation accelerates\, what AI-native attacks look like in practice\, and why governance often trails actual usage.\nThe conversation is structured\, not scripted. We will reframe how AI expands the attack surface\, pressure-test perceived risks against real exposure\, and introduce a lightweight\, end-to-end framework designed to stay relevant beyond the next quarter.\nFrom there\, the focus moves to application. You will map these ideas to your own environment\, identify what can be extended from existing investments\, and pinpoint real gaps. We will close by defining what “good” looks like\, with practical priorities and milestones security leaders can stand behind.\n\nSubject Matter Experts\nWilliam Varma\, Global Chief Security Advisor and Field CISO\, Microsoft\n \nWilliam is a Global Chief Security Advisor at Microsoft\, where he works closely with CISOs\, board members\, and senior technology leaders to turn cybersecurity strategy into real-world outcomes. His focus is simple but hard to execute: understand where leaders want to go\, identify what is getting in the way\, and partner with them to make that vision achievable. \nWilliam’s work sits at the intersection of strategy\, execution\, and emerging technology. He regularly facilitates high-impact problem-solving sessions with executives on some of the most complex challenges organizations face today\, including securing the AI journey and preparing for a post-quantum world. His Secure AI Journey framework is product-neutral and forward-looking\, helping organizations map critical controls from extreme shift-left through shift-right over a two to three-year horizon. It has become an anchor for leaders who want to move fast with AI without losing control\, trust\, or resilience. \nIn parallel\, William advises organizations on quantum readiness and quantum-safe security. With quantum computing expected to materially impact asymmetric encryption over the coming decade\, he helps leaders take practical steps today so they are not reacting under pressure tomorrow. The goal is not fear or hype\, but preparedness\, clarity\, and confidence. \nBefore Microsoft\, William spent the first half of his career in Big Four consulting\, ultimately as a partner\, followed by senior executive roles including Deputy CISO at a major bank and CISO within government. This blend of advisory\, operational\, and public-sector experience allows him to connect quickly with leaders and speak their language\, whether the conversation is tactical\, strategic\, or board-level. \nWilliam is a frequent speaker and trusted voice in the cybersecurity community\, known for creating executive conversations that are practical\, candid\, and outcome-driven. Outside of work\, he values time with his family and believes strongly in giving back\, particularly through initiatives that support youth development. \nNeta Haiby\, Head of Product\, AI Security\, Microsoft \nNeta leads Security for AI at Microsoft. Neta is a product leader with passion for developing impactful AI products at a global scale. She has deep experience in generative AI\, Vision AI and accelerating the adoption and positive impact of AI in organization by bringing together the latest innovations into products that enable the use of new AI technologies. \nPrior to her current role at Microsoft\, Neta led Azure OpenAI and Azure Document AI and held leadership roles in Product Management. She was also the CTO of Microsoft Venture Accelerator. \nNett Lynch\, MBA\, Chief Information Security Officer \nNett Lynch is an accomplished Cyber Security Professional\, leader\, educator\, and mentor who brings pragmatic\, business-focused cyber security leadership and a problem-solving mindset to every client discussion. For almost two years\, Nett has been the CISO at Kraft Kennedy. She also serves as the Chair of the North American Executive Council for the Cybersecurity Interest Group. She is a frequent writer\, speaker\, and conference attendee\, focusing on making cyber security and technology easier for executives to understand and implement.\n \nDan Paquette\, Practice Group Leader\, Modern Work \nDan Paquette is known for his strategic leadership and deep expertise in Microsoft 365\, Copilot\, and Purview. With a strong background in legal technology and IT consulting\, Dan has successfully led initiatives in AI adoption\, governance\, and change management for law firms and corporate clients. \nIn 2023\, Dan became the Practice Group Leader for Modern Work at Kraft Kennedy. Dan is a skilled and knowledgeable professional in modern workplace transformation. He joined Kraft Kennedy in 2007\, previously serving as Practice Manager and Consultant\, and has played a pivotal role in shaping the firm’s approach to Microsoft SaaS solutions. \nModerator & Host\nBeth Anne Stuebe\, Director of Sales Operations \nBeth Anne Stuebe is a long time thought-leader and educational publisher\, having worked for the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA)\, iManage\, and FileTrail Litera in global press and publications roles\, managing podcasts\, webinars\, educational sessions\, and conference agendas for some of the leading conferences in North America and the United Kingdom. \nRegister Here\n \nStay in the know about our educational acitivities and more – subscribe here.\nFollow us on LinkedIn and check out our upcoming events.
