In the race to outpace automated threats, AI is no longer optional, it is the primary defense. However, deploying AI within the Security Operations Center (SOC) requires more than just new tools; it requires a new framework of governance to ensure those tools are safe, unbiased, and effective.Join Databricks Field CISO Omar Khawaja and a panel of security experts as they explore the intersection of AI governance and real-world SOC operations. We will dive into the practicalities of:Operationalizing Safety: How to deploy AI-driven detection and response without introducing new enterprise risks.The Velocity Gain: Leveraging AI to radically compress vulnerability lifecycles and patching windows.Guardrails for Autonomy: Implementing the essential governance "kill switches" and oversight needed when moving toward an Agentic SIEM.This session provides a practical roadmap for security leaders trying to navigate the "Speed vs Risk" dilemma of deploying modern AI technology.

Kick off your Summit experience by joining data experts, Snowflake partners and Data Cloud evangelists for a hands-on hackathon on June 2. Work with an international team of Summit attendees to build tools and data visualizations to deliver data-driven insights for humanitarian emergencies. Learn from researchers and experts from NGOs like Direct Relief about the importance of geospatial data in humanitarian response. Snowflake's End Data Disparity initiative accelerates progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals by ensuring data sets, decision-making tools and AI models represent everyone. Participants will explore geospatial analytics for humanitarian efforts, perform data transformation in Snowflake and create interactive visuals with Streamlit. The Data for Good team will share insights and tools in future workshops, fostering collaborations that benefit communities and the planet. Space is limited and preregistration is required.
