SANS360 Lightning Talks | How the Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI) Prepares Defenders for AI (And How You Can Contribute)

As organizations rapidly adopt AI technologies, defenders face a growing challenge: securing systems that evolve faster than traditional security models can keep up with. This session introduces the Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI), an industry-wide initiative bringing together leading security, AI, and technology organizations to develop practical guidance, shared research, and collaborative security frameworks for the AI era. Attendees will gain insight into how CoSAI is addressing emerging risks through focused workstreams on AI governance, software supply chain security, agentic system design, telemetry, zero trust, and AI-assisted development security. The session will also explore how practitioners can actively contribute to shaping the future of secure AI through open collaboration, technical contributions, and community engagement.
