AI Security & Compliance Roundtable + ISC2 Chapter Update

About this event

AI systems are moving beyond answering questions. They can access organizational data, use tools, make recommendations, and increasingly take action inside business processes. That raises a practical question: are existing security and compliance practices enough, or do organizations need to extend them for systems that can make decisions and act? Join the ISC2 Utah Chapter for a chapter update followed by an interactive roundtable on AI security and compliance. Facilitators Ken Allen, Chris Kenney, Alton Alexander, and Marc Cressall will guide a peer discussion about governance, identity, access, delegated authority, auditability, human oversight, and the practical challenges of moving AI into production. This is a conversation, not a presentation. Bring your questions, experiences, and examples from your own organization. Questions we'll explore:

• How do existing security and compliance frameworks apply to AI systems?

• What changes when AI can access data, call tools, and take action?

• How should organizations govern AI identities, permissions, and delegated authority?

• Where do human approval, monitoring, evidence, and rollback belong?

• What are local organizations learning as they move AI from experiments into production?

We won't settle all of it in one evening, but you'll leave with useful questions and practical ideas to take back to your team. Agenda:

• 4:30 PM: Arrival, networking, and dinner

• 4:45 PM: ISC2 Utah Chapter update

• 5:00 PM: AI Security & Compliance Roundtable

• 6:15 PM: Key takeaways, chapter announcements, and close
