MDS 9th Annual Cybersecurity Conference
SECURE THE AI ERA
The threat landscape just changed. Again.
Join Maureen Data Systems, Microsoft, and the industry’s top security minds for a one-day executive-level conference on securing AI, closing compliance gaps, and building the resilient enterprise your organization needs right now.
Limited capacity. Event details will be shared as the conference approaches.
SECURE THE AI ERA
The AI era doesn’t wait for your security team to catch up.
Every organization using AI, copilots, agents, automation, is opening new doors. Some of those doors lead to opportunity. Others lead directly to your most sensitive data.
This conference brings CIOs, CISOs, and enterprise leaders together for the conversations that move the needle: practical strategies, expert led sessions, and peer level dialogue on what it actually takes to stay ahead.
Tuesday, October 27, 2026
8 AM to 5 PM EST
Microsoft Office, Times Square, NYC

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
Maureen Lande
Every year, I’m struck by how much the conversation shifts. A few years ago, we were talking about cloud security. Then ransomware. Now it’s AI, and it changes everything.
The organizations that will come out ahead aren’t just the ones with the best tools. They’re the ones where leadership understands the risk, makes the hard calls, and builds a culture of security from the top.
That’s why we built this conference, and why I hope you’ll join us on October 27.
What's on the table — a sneak peek.
Sessions are still being finalized. Here’s a look at what’s taking shape for October 27.
Securing the AI Era: Assistants, Agents, and Autonomous Workflows
AI adoption is outpacing governance in most enterprises. This session examines how AI assistants and autonomous agents are reshaping the risk landscape and what leadership must prioritize to stay ahead.
Agent Governance: Controlling the New Attack Surface
AI agents are emerging as the next class of enterprise endpoints and they demand the same rigor as identity and access management for users. This session addresses the governance, oversight, and policy frameworks required to manage agents at scale.
Data Security & Compliance
As AI systems consume and generate more enterprise data, governance and regulatory exposure grow with it. This session examines what end-to-end data protection and compliance alignment look like in the AI era and where most organizations fall short.
Identity-First Security: The Control Plane for AI & Agents
Identity has long been the cornerstone of enterprise security and its scope is expanding to cover agents and autonomous workloads. This session examines why identity is becoming the central control plane for the AI-enabled enterprise.
Real-Time Intelligence & Security Operations
Threats move faster than traditional SOC models can keep pace with. This session explores how real-time analytics are transforming detection and response and enabling security teams to act on signals as they emerge, not after the fact.
Executive Panel: The Future of Defense
A candid conversation with senior CIOs and CISOs on where they're investing, where they're concerned, and what they're watching as the security landscape evolves.
Getting Started: Funded Paths to Accelerate AI Security
For organizations ready to act, this session outlines funded engagement options including assessments and accelerator programs that enable a low-risk first step toward AI security readiness.
More sessions are being added. Register now to get the full agenda first. Confirmed attendees receive speaker and session updates before they’re made public.
