Women4Cyber Switzerland & Avanade
How do we secure AI systems and agents? Where is AI already creating measurable value for security teams? And where are its limits?
AI is rapidly becoming part of enterprise security strategies. Security teams are using it to improve threat detection, accelerate investigations and automate repetitive tasks. At the same time, organizations are introducing AI applications and increasingly autonomous agents, creating an entirely new set of security, governance and compliance questions.
On 22 September in Zurich, Women4Cyber Switzerland and Avanade are bringing together CISOs, security leaders, architects and technology decision-makers for the AI & Cybersecurity Leadership Exchange. Rather than a series of product presentations, the evening is built around practical experience and open discussion between peers and no sales pitches.
The conversation will look at both sides of the equation:
AI for Cybersecurity – how AI can strengthen security operations, improve efficiency and support analysts.
Cybersecurity for AI – how organizations can secure AI applications and agents, manage emerging risks and establish trustworthy governance.
Alongside perspectives from guest speakers, participants will take part in “AI Under Pressure: Decisions That Matter”, an interactive leadership exchange focused on the choices and trade-offs security leaders are facing as AI moves from experimentation into enterprise adoption.
The evening concludes with an apéro and networking, providing an opportunity to continue the discussion with cybersecurity peers from across industries.
Tuesday, 22 September 2026 | 16:30–20:00
Sihlstrasse 34, Zurich
The event is hosted by Women4Cyber Switzerland and Avanade and is open to professionals of all genders.
