IBM/ OpenAI: AI Cyber Resilience: From Security Findings to Governed Action

Discussion Points
1. Where AI makes a practical difference
Where could AI make the biggest practical difference to your team's detection, investigation or remediation work?
2. Evidence, human review and approval gates
What evidence, human review and approval gates would you require before using AI within security workflows?
3. Fitting into existing tools and accountability
How can AI-enabled remediation fit into existing tools, change processes and accountability structures?
4. Measuring progress
What would you measure to assess progress, such as time to validated fix, accepted fixes or reopened issues?
5. Barriers to repeatable deployment
What barriers must be addressed to move from a pilot to repeatable deployment, particularly in regulated and operational environments?
AI Cyber Resilience: From Security Findings to Governed Action
Finding vulnerabilities is only half the job. The real work is turning those findings into fixes that are validated, approved and built to last, without adding risk along the way. AI is starting to help with that work, as long as it fits within the governance, risk controls and accountability that enterprise security depends on.
Join IBM Consulting and OpenAI for a private peer discussion on how AI can help security teams move from identifying vulnerabilities to validating remediation and strengthening cyber resilience. Together we will explore where AI can add practical value, how to keep workflows within existing governance and risk controls, and what it takes to move from an initial use case to repeatable deployment.
The evening opens with a short introduction to how IBM and OpenAI are working together on cyber defence, followed by a moderated conversation among peers over a three course dinner.
This roundtable is designed for CISOs and senior cyber leaders across the UK and Ireland, including Deputy CISOs, Heads of Cyber, and leaders in security operations, cyber resilience and OT security. It is especially relevant to enterprise organisations in financial services, energy and manufacturing.
Agenda
Welcomed attendees are integrated into a curated networking space, fostering direct interactions for ice-breaking and relationship-building before engaging in substantive, collaborative discussions.
Shifting to a sit-down discussion with drinks, this promotes open, thoughtful dialogue on a set topic agenda, aimed at fostering collaboration and deepening connections in a relaxed, supportive setting.
The evening culminates with a luxury meal, offering exquisite cuisine in an elegant setting, enhancing networking opportunities, and providing a memorable experience that strengthens professional bonds among attendees.
The finale features a wrap-up and Q&A session, where sponsors address the roundtable, followed by drinks and networking, enabling direct engagement and planning of actionable next steps in a collaborative environment.
