Presented by Mac Avancena, Field CISO • Check Point Software
AI adoption is accelerating, but most organizations are not ready.
While investment surges, the majority of AI initiatives fail to scale, deliver value, or operate securely. The challenge isn’t the technology; it’s the inability to align AI with governance, financial realities, and measurable business outcomes.
In this session, Mac Avancena cuts through the hype to expose the real gap between AI ambition and execution. Learn why most AI programs stall, which organizations are actually succeeding, and how leaders can fund, secure, and scale AI in constrained environments.
This session delivers a clear framework to:
- Connect AI initiatives to business value and funding priorities
- Close the gap between innovation and governance
- Manage risk across AI, identity, and data
- Turn AI from experimental spend into a strategic advantage
AI won’t wait. The question is whether your organization can keep up, securely and profitably.
