EC-Council

EC-Council's Adopt. Defend. Govern. (ADG) AI Framework was shaped by the people who lead AI in the real world.

EC-Council thanks the members of the AI Advisory Board, whose insights, challenges, and real-world experience helped shape every pillar of this framework. Because of their contributions, the ADG Framework does not just define governance; it helps operationalize it.

Explore the framework here: https://bit.ly/4dCLcnb

The ADG AI Framework is a practitioner-led modular framework for designing, implementing, and governing AI stacks through defined minimum controls to establish strong foundations.

The framework maps:
• 9 governance surfaces
• 12 minimum controls
• 4 harm classes
• 4 industry threat catalogs
• 9 deployment pattern overlays
• 3 autonomy tiers

Not aspirational guidance, but audit-ready proof.

To our AI Advisory Board: thank you for helping us build the framework the industry needed.

On June 12, Coy K. Murchison, Director of Privacy & AI Governance Consulting at Agilishare Solutions Group, brings frontline expertise to one critical question: what must enterprise leaders do to govern, certify, and operationalize AI systems in alignment with FDA expectations?

Security protects the infrastructure. Privacy governs what happens inside it. As AI rapidly expands across healthcare, organizations can no longer afford to treat these as separate conversations. This session focuses on the privacy and governance side of that equation, building integrated compliance frameworks that make AI in healthcare trustworthy, sustainable, and audit-ready.

The Mythos threat is real, and cybersecurity leaders are being forced to fundamentally rethink how they validate defenses, assess risk, and maintain visibility across increasingly complex attack surfaces.

A powerhouse panel of security leaders will break down what the Mythos threat means for modern cybersecurity programs, and what CISOs must do right now to stay ahead.

Fragmented, point-in-time assessments are no longer enough. Continuous validation, attack-path visibility, and intelligence-led defense are the new baseline. This session shows you exactly how to get there.

Greater responsibility should come with greater recognition.​
