Your Data. Your Compliance. Your AI Adoption. All On the Line.
AI is transforming how businesses operate, but it's also rewriting the rules of cybersecurity risk, legal exposure, and compliance. Is your organization keeping up?
Join FirstLight, FTS Inc., and TechRochester for an evening that cuts through the hype and gets real about what AI means for your security posture, your governance policies, and your bottom line.
You'll hear directly from the people on the front lines: network and infrastructure experts, cybersecurity threat specialists, and legal counsel who are helping organizations navigate this shift right now.
