State of AI Cybersecurity

AI is helping startups move faster than ever. It’s also the first thing enterprise buyers ask about. Before a big customer signs, they want to know how you protect their data, how your AI tools behave, and what happens when something goes wrong.

Founders who can answer those questions with confidence close deals faster.

Join fellow founders and cybersecurity experts over lunch to explore how to use AI securely, earn customer trust and accelerate growth. Krithiga Gopalan, Director of Enterprise Security at Oracle Asia Pacific, joins us from Singapore. Her team assesses the security of some of Oracle’s largest customers, so she knows exactly what enterprise buyers look for. She’ll share where AI is creating new risks, how large organisations judge their vendors, and the practical steps that turn security from a sales blocker into a selling point.

This is an interactive session in a small-group format. Bring your questions, your current setup and your toughest customer objections.

Key takeaways

• Win enterprise trust sooner: Understand what enterprise buyers look for in security and AI governance, and how to show you meet the bar before procurement asks.

• Use AI without adding risk: Learn the most common security gaps in AI tools and agents, and the practical safeguards you can put in place without slowing your team down.

• Turn security into an advantage: See how a clear, credible approach to AI security helps you stand out from competitors and shorten sales cycles.
