Security at machine speed: Where does the human sit?

When automation moves faster than human decisions, who is accountable?

HotTopics C-suite Exchange in partnership with 

AI is shifting the goalposts. Anthropic recently surfaced over 10,000 high-severity flaws across enterprise software in just a few weeks. Today, automated remediation can contain a breach before a human even sees the alert.

It sounds like a massive win, but it raises some serious questions. Who takes the blame when machines move faster than human choices? How do IT and security operations teams work together effectively when the tech takes over?

We are bringing CIOs, CISOs and CTOs into a virtual room to argue it out. No corporate slide decks—just an honest debate on how much authority automation should actually have, and where the human line needs to hold.
