What was covered

The significant business gains realised from leveraging AI solutions to solve business problems and accelerate productivity are unparalleled. But with these powerful and fast-moving tools, new considerations arise around visibility and risk management. In every organisation AI tools are used widely, whether or not authorised by IT. It is critical to have complete visibility into where and how employees are using AI, and to streamline and manage all AI controls.

 

Join us at the AI in the Fast Lane Summit in Johannesburg for focused discussion with security and technology leaders on how organisations are using AI today, and how a modern security strategy can enable safe, scalable, and compliant AI adoption.  This interactive event is designed for networking and security professionals looking to harness and embrace AI innovation while maintaining strong security and compliance across their environment.

 

Join us in Johannesburg for a high-impact day of insight, collaboration, and recognition set against the refined setting of The Venue - 39 Melrose Boulevard - a blend of world-class hospitality, first-class facilities, and innovation. This exclusive, interactive summit brings together African C-level execs and security professionals to explore how a comprehensive AI-powered security strategy creates a smarter, safer, future-proof organization. 

 
Alongside the main program, we will host a dedicated AI in the Fast Lane learning track for our partner community, concluding with our Annual Africa Partner Awards recognising excellence across our ecosystem.  If you are a Netskope partner, please choose this track when you RSVP.

 

Network with peers, learn from guest cyber leaders across varied industries, pick up insights from Netskope's global AI thought leaders, and shape the future of enterprise security and AI innovation in Africa. Don't miss this exclusive one-day briefing. Guest speaker announcements coming soon!

Key Topics:

What agile event programs are and why they're essential

Strategies and tools for building agile event marketing

How to scale agile event programs without losing brand integrity or valuable data
