Every CISO knows the grind: drowning in alerts, chasing noise, and reacting instead of leading. In this fireside chat, John Shaffer brings the frontline perspective – what it feels like to live in a world of nonstop alerts and constant operational pressure. Gaurav Banga joins him to explore how AI can change that reality: cutting through noise, prioritizing the few things that matter, and automating the rest. Together, they’ll unpack how security leaders can reclaim time, reduce fatigue, and shift their focus from firefighting to strategy.

You’ll walk away with a practical view of how AI-enabled decision support shrinks alert fatigue, accelerates remediation, and frees up CISOs to drive business impact.
