A packed audience at #AISS2025 gathered for Palo Alto Networks’ workshop on “AI Security – Shielding the Smart,” where the spotlight was firmly on securing enterprise AI. Vikram Goda, Sr. Solution Consultant at Palo Alto Networks opened the session by underscoring why AI security has become a priority for modern organizations, walking participants through various Prisma SASE products and their role in strengthening digital ecosystems. Tarun Gehani,  Solution Consultant at Palo Alto Network then delved into AI access security and the challenges organizations face as GenAI adoption accelerates. He demonstrated the AI Access Security dashboard within Prisma SASE, showing how enterprises can assess threat exposure based on the different GenAI applications in use. He also introduced Prisma Browser, explaining its unique approach to enabling safe, controlled, and policy-aligned GenAI adoption. The session returned to Vikram Goda for a practical walkthrough of security controls for enterprise AI applications. He elaborated on essential guardrails, AI runtime security, and how these capabilities help operationalize AI in a secure and compliant manner. The workshop concluded with an interactive quiz and an engaging Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to deepen their understanding of AI security challenges and emerging solutions.

#AISS2025 | The #workshop on “Navigating the AI Inflection Point” with Mr. Adam Hall, VP Strategic Product Marketing, SentinelOne, was interactive and engaging. Setting the context, he first took the audience through the AI threat landscape, then moved to the maturity model and readiness, emphasizing the need to reimagine security in the age of AI and the significance of this inflection point. He explained how cybersecurity today faces challenges both inside and outside the organization, particularly with AI-driven attacks. Breaches are costlier than ever, while security teams struggle with data complexity and fragmented toolsets. He further highlighted the motivations driving threat actors: profit, disruption, influence, and access, and pointed out how attackers are jailbreaking LLMs to abuse commercial AI for offensive capabilities. The session concluded with an interactive poll on SOC maturity, sparking great conversations in the room.

In a world where hybrid cloud, AI, and even quantum are reshaping how organizations operate, the DPDP Act demands a new level of discipline and clarity. A roadmap for those building trust into every layer. At #AISS2025, IBM dives into how Guardium can anchor a strong, audit-ready data security posture – from governance to real-time protection.

“We are moving from a human-driven internet to a machine-driven internet. 51% of the internet traffic in 2025 was bot-driven. The foundations of the ‘new’ internet are being built today.” APIs power everything from modern apps to entire digital ecosystems – and that makes them prime targets. Strong APIs mean strong digital foundations. Akamai Technologies' workshop on Day 1 at #AISS2025 lets insights cascade into the realities of securing the internet's nervous system, offering strategies to protect APIs against today’s most aggressive threat patterns.

At #AISS2025, the Palo Alto Networks Workshop on “The New Era of SOC with Cortex Cloud” delivered sharp insights into how SOC transformation is accelerating in the age of AI and cloud-native operations. Abhishek Mahadik opened the session with a deep dive into the evolving threat landscape, explaining the idea of finite and infinite adversaries and the SOC dilemma that enterprises are grappling with today. He highlighted how AI is turbocharging attacks and why this shift is especially critical as businesses move to the cloud, where nearly 80% of security exposures now occur. Emphasizing the urgency of an automation-first approach, he introduced Cortex Cloud as a unified platform that integrates and collects data from across environments to bridge gaps between code, cloud, and SOC. The session further explored what organizations truly need for effective cloud security, with Ketan B. offering a detailed walkthrough of Cortex Cloud’s capabilities. He showcased Cortex AgentiX and demonstrated how AI-driven automation can streamline analyst workflows, improve accuracy, and enhance SOC performance at scale. His explanation of the automation process helped the audience understand how modern SOC teams can better respond to evolving threats. The workshop concluded with an interactive quiz on SOC challenges, cyber threats, vulnerability exploitation, threat analysis, and next-generation SOC platforms, keeping the audience engaged throughout.

At #AISS2025, the Securonix #Workshop on "Harnessing AI for Next-Generation Threat Detection: Opportunities and Challenges" delivered powerful insights! Mr. Dipesh Kaura, Country Director, Securonix opened by sharing how Securonix pioneered the shift of SIEM to the cloud, being the first to do so, and the incredible journey from 2009 to 2025 that made it possible. He then explored the platformization of threat quotient with threat intelligence, emphasizing why reactive technologies need corrective action. While threat intelligence is predictive, UEBA, based on user and entity behavior, actually anticipates malicious activity. The session introduced Agentic AI mesh with detective capabilities, and Mr. Harshit Lohani, Sr. Sales Engineer (APMEA) & Principal MDR Consultant, Securonix briefed the audience with a live demo of Securonix Agentic AI, showing how the agentic mesh reduces analyst workload by nearly 50% and improves accuracy by 200%. Their vision? A fully autonomous L1 layer.     The workshop concluded with an engaging mini CTF for the audience.
