About the session

You cannot secure what you have not governed

Two of the world's leading AI companies have now published incidents in which their own systems were turned into attackers. AI-driven risk is no longer theoretical — it is operational, and it is already inside enterprises today.

Taming the Beast is a free two-hour crash course built on a simple idea: you cannot secure what you have not governed. The session is in two halves. First the threat, told by someone who spent his career on the offensive side. Then the defence — a working governance and control model your team can apply the same week.

No product pitch. No slideware. Real frameworks, real controls, real failures.
