AI adoption is accelerating—but are organizations’ security programs keeping pace? As AI becomes embedded across the enterprise, security leaders must not only protect AI systems but also establish the governance, skills, and operational capabilities needed to manage AI risk at scale.

Led by SANS Field CTO Chris Cochran, this virtual event brings together industry experts to explore findings from the 2026 SANS AI Security Maturity Benchmark, built on the SANS AI Security Maturity Model™. Go beyond the data as experts examine where organizations are making meaningful progress, where critical gaps remain, and what separates more mature AI security programs from the rest.
