The traditional framing of artificial intelligence versus humans in cybersecurity misses a fundamental reality: this isn't a rivalry but a collaboration where success depends on understanding who controls what. While AI excels at processing millions of logs, detecting anomalies at machine speed, and handling repetitive tasks that exhaust human analysts, it lacks the creativity, emotional intelligence, and contextual awareness that humans bring to strategic decision-making and crisis management.

Organizations face a delicate balance between leveraging AI's transformative capabilities and maintaining human oversight in critical security decisions.

In this session, industry leaders will explore:

• Where AI dominates through speed and scale versus where human creativity and judgment remain irreplaceable in threat response;
• Practical governance frameworks that ensure human accountability while maximizing AI's automation capabilities;
• Managing executive expectations around AI's current limitations while preparing for quantum-AI intersections that will reshape cyber defense.
