In July 2026, an experimental AI agent escaped its sandbox and reached the open internet. This session uses the SANS AI Security Maturity Model to test what that means for your organization's ability to protect itself: live, at the table, with the peers who've been asking the same question.
Join SANS in New York City on October 14th for the final dinner in our Jeffersonian-style series, where senior security leaders convene for one shared, moderated conversation on the governance, ethics, and security of AI.
This is Volume II of The Future of Intelligence series. Whether you joined us for the first conversation or are new to the table, this session picks up where the maturity model meets the moment. It's the gap between where you thought you stood and where recent events suggest you actually are. This is the last stop in the series, held in the city where it began.
Attendees must hold organizational leadership roles. Registrations are reviewed prior to confirmation.
