From Governance to Velocity: Defending at Machine Speed
AI assistants, autonomous agents and open source dependencies now push code into production faster than any manual review can follow, and attackers are using the same tools to move just as quickly. The question for enterprise leaders is whether governance keeps pace or becomes the gap.
📅 November 10th, 2026
💻 Virtual Executive Roundtable
🕑 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM ET / 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM PT
The Session
Where governance becomes the accelerator
For many enterprises, governance has become the brake on delivery, and delivery has become the gap in security. The leaders getting ahead are building trust into the software supply chain from the first line of code through to runtime, automating policy so security scales with AI-driven development, and making confident release decisions as both the volume of change and the speed of threats continue to rise. Ninety minutes of candid peer conversation, guided by an experienced moderator under the Chatham House Rule, bringing together the leaders making those calls.
This is a working discussion between senior leaders rather than a webinar. Participants join on camera, bring a live problem from their own environment, and contribute throughout. Expect specifics: what is working, what has failed, and what people would do differently a second time.

🗣 2:20 PM ET / 11:20 AM PT
Moderated Roundtable Discussion
The heart of the session. An hour of open peer conversation, steered by the moderator and shaped by what the room brings.
📋 3:20 PM ET / 12:20 PM PT
Closing Reflections
Each participant takes away the points that mattered most, and the session closes at 3:30 PM ET.
Discussion Topics
Shaped by the room, anchored on five questions
1
Governing AI-generated code, open source packages and ML models without slowing developers down
2
Policy as code: embedding security and compliance controls directly into the pipeline
3
Provenance, attestation and SBOMs: knowing exactly what is running in production and where it came from
4
Responding at machine speed: shrinking the window between vulnerability disclosure and remediation
5
Measuring success: the metrics that show governance and velocity moving in the same direction
Who's in the Room
Your peers, not an audience
An Elite gathering for CIOs, CISOs, CTOs, and VP and Director-level Engineering, Platform, Security, and DevOps leaders from enterprises with $1 billion plus in revenue. Every participant is personally invited, so every contribution counts.
