Join us for a presentation by Cailyn Edwards, Staff AI Security Architect at Okta, and explore how AI and Security intersect!

🔐☁️ Okta is a leader in cloud-based Identity and Access Management, and has recently made headlines with their contribution to a novel framework which seeks to govern and secure AI agents across the landscape of industry use-cases.

👩‍💼💬 Since starting her career in software development, Cailyn has witnessed the rapid rise of AI first-hand. In this presentation, she reveals how she integrates AI into her current day-to-day work: what she's left behind and what she embraces now more than ever. She'll also be sharing real-world examples that showcase AI's impact on security reviews.

Come for food, insights, and an industry perspective on the state of AI today!
