Securing the Agentic Enterprise

Join us for HSBC's annual premier executive event series designed to connect senior corporate security leaders with the technologies, investors, and peers shaping enterprise security in an agentic world.  Whether you're building the controls for a workforce of AI agents or funding the companies that will secure them, this is your chance to get ahead of a threat model most programs weren't built for.

Held in partnership with the New York Stock Exchange and top-tier cybersecurity VCs like SYN Ventures, Ballistic Ventures, and Evolution Equity Partners, each event brings together leading CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, Heads of Risk, and Innovation Executives for an afternoon of candid discussion, curated 2:1 corporate to startup matching, and high-impact networking.

What to Expect

• Unfiltered Insights from Cybersecurity Leaders – Hear directly from CISOs, threat intelligence leads, and cybersecurity investors on how they're rebuilding identity, access, and governance for agents that operate without a person in the loop

• Curated Startup Matching – Get introduced to VC-backed startups building solutions in non-human identity, agent-to-agent trust, and AI governance, curated to your specific priorities

• High-Impact Networking – Build meaningful connections with other enterprise security leaders, venture investors, and startup founders through intimate panels, peer discussions, and a private networking reception

Topics We'll Explore

• Identity Beyond Humans – Who owns access and accountability when the actor making a decision isn't a person

• Agent-to-Agent Trust – Securing systems where autonomous agents interact with each other, not just with people

• AI Governance in Practice – Turning policy into real controls: tool inventories, data access rules, and evaluation, not another slide deck

• Resilience and the Board Gap – Why boards and CISOs still disagree on what the biggest threat actually is, and what that means for budget and priority
