Building the trusted foundation for real-time operations

In this webcast, EY and Microsoft security leaders explore why trust is the foundation of AI-enabled, always-on operations. They explain how security is shifting from a defensive checkpoint to a strategic business enabler — helping organizations innovate, adopt AI and respond to threats at machine speed.

The discussion examines the foundations of a secure AI-powered business: identity and access, data protection, modern detection and response, and governance across users, applications, infrastructure and AI agents. Panelists also address how unified security platforms, model-agnostic tools and AI-assisted remediation can reduce friction while improving visibility, resilience and control.

Viewers will hear practical guidance for rethinking security operating models, skills and accountability — and for bringing the CISO into AI transformation earlier so organizations can deliver measurable business outcomes with confidence.

Topics discussed include:

• How security can become a foundation for AI innovation rather than a barrier to speed
• Why identity, data protection, detection and response, and governance must be integrated from the start
• How unified platforms, AI-assisted remediation and model-agnostic architectures can help organizations defend at machine speed
• What leaders can do to modernize security operating models, talent, accountability and CISO engagement for trusted AI at scale

AI leaders will not be defined by the models they deploy, but by the trust they create. Security must be embedded from the start to help organizations scale AI securely, responsibly and at enterprise speed.
