9:00am – 10:00am : Mythos – Reframing Cyber Risk and Security Programs in the Age of AI
Steven Davis, Information Security Operational Analyst, Zurich North America
JC Peralta, CISSP, CCSP, Zurich North America
Jennifer Rush, Sr. Security GRC Analyst, Zurich North America

As frontier AI models rapidly accelerate the discovery and exploitation of software vulnerabilities, organizations are entering a new era of cyber risk defined by speed, scale, and automation. Traditional security assumptions around patch timelines, incident response, and vendor risk are quickly becoming obsolete.

In this session, leaders from Zurich will examine how AI‑augmented threats are reshaping the cybersecurity landscape and what it means for enterprise security programs. Attendees will gain insight into emerging capabilities such as autonomous vulnerability discovery, large‑scale exploit chaining, and the growing role of industry collaboration in securing critical software supply chains.

The discussion will also highlight the operating model changes needed to respond to this new reality, including:

• accelerating vulnerability detection and remediation processes
• strengthening third‑party supply chain security
• evolving governance and compliance approaches to align with emerging regulations such as the EU AI Act

The session will also highlight how security, procurement, and third‑party risk functions must evolve to enable rapid adoption of defensive AI while maintaining appropriate oversight. Practical examples will demonstrate how organizations are shifting toward continuous compliance and AI‑driven risk management.
These shifts position governance, third-party risk management, and security operating models as foundational components of modern enterprise architecture.
Designed for enterprise architects, infrastructure leaders, and cybersecurity decision-makers, this session will provide practical insights into building a security-first architecture strategy that supports both business transformation and long-term cyber resilience.

10:30 AM – 11:30 AM Rebuilding Enterprise Architecture for Autonomous AI

Ankur Varma, CEO, Turgon

We are at an inflection point unlike any since the shift to cloud. AI agents are moving from tools humans use to autonomous actors operating inside enterprise systems, making decisions, triggering workflows, and crossing system boundaries without human initiation. The problem is that today’s enterprise architecture was never designed for this. APIs lack semantic meaning, data foundations are not agent-ready, identity models assume humans, and governance frameworks have no answer for autonomous decision-making. The gap between where enterprises are and where they need to be is significant, and closing it requires deliberate, sequenced action. This session gives CIOs and architects a clear-eyed view of what needs to change and a practical roadmap for getting there.

Actionable Takeaways
• Identify the critical structural gaps in today’s enterprise architectures that become risk multipliers when autonomous agents are introduced
• Learn what “agent-ready data” looks like and how to evolve data, integration, and governance layers to support agentic workloads
• Understand how identity, security, and audit requirements fundamentally change when agents become autonomous actors in your systems
• Walk away with a prioritized 12-month roadmap for building AI foundations that are safe, reliable, and built to scale

11:30 AM – 12:30 PM Evolving Enterprise Architecture in the Age of AI: Balancing Agility, Governance, and Risk
Shashi Kachale, IT Program Manager, Alight Solutions
Rathan Ramachandra, AVP – Senior Scrum Master, PNC

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is undergoing a significant transformation as organizations integrate AI-driven capabilities into their technology and business strategies. No longer confined to static frameworks and long-term roadmaps, modern EA must adapt to faster innovation cycles, decentralized decision-making, and increasingly complex risk landscapes.

This session explores how EA leaders are redefining their role to enable AI adoption while maintaining alignment with Agile delivery models, governance requirements, and risk management frameworks. We’ll examine how architecture teams can move from gatekeepers to enablers—embedding guardrails that support speed without sacrificing control.
Attendees will gain practical insight into how leading organizations are modernizing EA practices to support continuous delivery, data-driven decision-making, and responsible AI use, all while ensuring compliance and managing enterprise risk.

Key Takeaways:
• How AI is reshaping the role, scope, and value of Enterprise Architecture
• Strategies for aligning EA with Agile and product-centric operating models
• Approaches to modern governance that enable innovation rather than slow it down
• How to incorporate risk management into architecture without creating bottlenecks
• Best practices for establishing architectural guardrails in AI-driven environments
• Real-world examples of EA teams evolving to support faster, smarter decision-making

1:30 PM – 2:30 PM   Decision-Centered EA Governance

Effective EA governance focuses on enabling better decisions, not enforcing compliance. This session explores governance models that support speed, transparency, and accountability.

Includes:

• Shifting governance from approval to enablement
• Integrating EA into investment and portfolio decisions
• Supporting continuous improvement through feedback

3:00 PM – 4:00 PM   Demonstrating EA Value Through Business Outcomes

Enterprise architecture teams must clearly articulate the value they deliver. This session focuses on connecting architectural decisions to measurable business outcomes.

Includes:

• Outcome-driven EA metrics and KPIs
• Communicating EA value to executives
• Strengthening EA’s role in strategic planning

---

4:00 PM – 5:00 PM Enterprise Architecture Panel: Staying Relevant in a Rapidly Changing Landscape

This panel brings together experienced enterprise architects to discuss how EA practices evolve as technology trends accelerate.

Includes:

• Supporting AI, cloud-native, and future platforms
• Maintaining relevance as delivery models change
• Lessons learned from mature EA programs
• Audience Q&A

Panelists will include:

• Mark Behrendt, Manager, Enterprise Architect, Sloan
• Additional Enterprise Architecture Executives sharing strategies, tactics and lessons learned
