General Session | Leading World-Class IT and Security in the GenAI Era
3:30PM – 4:00PM | Grand Ballroom CD

In this keynote, Isaac Sacolick, former CIO, bestselling author on digital transformation, and CIO.com contributor, will share what world-class IT and security looks like today in the genAI era. Every wave of digital transformation presents new opportunities, responsibilities, and risks for technology and security leaders.

Meanwhile, copilots, vibe coding, and AI agents in IT are causing many IT leaders to ponder whether genAI spells the end of IT as we know it.

Bell Cyber Keynote | AI at the Edge of Cybersecurity: Turning Disruption into Defensible Advantage

He highlights how Bell Cyber’s sovereign, AI-enabled cybersecurity mesh architecture delivers rapid detection and sub-five-minute containment, and how the organization governs AI safely within mission-critical environments.
