Topic: 

Mike Skurko will lead a panel on ISSA-SV panel on Cybersecurity & AI. Most of us have kicked down the barriers to cloud adoption, at scale.  Many of us may have been involved in the revolution.  The fear, uncertainty, and doubt plagued the enterprise and that FUD was perpetuated by most of the major enterprise packaged software companies.  In the end, we all won.  Responsible adoption was realized.  AI brings us all the way back to the FUD.  Fear, mystery, scale, controls, policy, compliance are all front and center.
