AI is transforming how we work, innovate, and defend our organizations. But there’s a fundamental question security leaders cannot ignore:
Why Would We Ever Trust AI???

We’re excited to welcome George Finney as one of four keynote speakers at the NTX ISSA CSC13 Annual Cybersecurity Conference on October 20, 2026, at the Plano Event Center.

In his keynote, George will explore the critical intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Zero Trust.

AI systems depend on the data they are trained on, the systems they operate within, and the users they interact with. As AI becomes increasingly autonomous, those trust relationships can introduce entirely new security risks.

George will explain how Zero Trust principles can help organizations:
🔹 Protect AI systems and data integrity
🔹 Reduce risks created by AI misuse
🔹 Strengthen privacy and access controls
🔹 Apply Zero Trust principles to increasingly autonomous technologies
🔹 Build a sustainable security culture around AI development and adoption

AI may be changing cybersecurity, but one principle remains highly relevant:

Never trust. Always verify.
