CPE Webinar | CISO Playbook for 2026: Driving AI-Powered GRC for Compliance and Growth

Jun 18 / IT GRC Forum
The compliance landscape has reached a tipping point, and security and risk leaders are feeling the pressure as they navigate an increasingly tangled web of global cyber regulations, supply chain vulnerabilities, and geopolitical uncertainty. The old model of tracking obligations in spreadsheets isn’t just outdated—it slows decision‑making, creates blind spots, and ultimately limits the organization’s ability to move with speed and confidence.

This session explores how leading enterprise risk teams are using artificial intelligence to reshape Governance, Risk, and Compliance from a reactive function into a strategic driver of business value. Designed for CISOs, CIOs, and senior risk officers, the discussion will focus on how to build a unified risk narrative that resonates with the C‑suite, ensuring that security investments reduce technical debt, strengthen resilience, and support revenue‑generating initiatives.

Attendees will learn how AI‑driven intelligence can help organizations break free from regulatory overload by automatically scanning, tracking, and mapping complex and sometimes conflicting global cyber mandates to internal controls. The webinar will show how translating cyber risk into business language—focusing on ROI, margins, and continuity—helps reposition GRC from a cost center to a growth engine, giving leaders the clarity and confidence needed to guide their organizations forward.
