Building The Three Lines Of Defense For 2026 And Beyond

This talk explores the evolution of the traditional three lines of defense model in cybersecurity, particularly in the context of cloud technologies, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation. It features a discussion among CISOs, including Lt. Gen. Rajesh Pant, Lokesh Garg, Sanjay Bahl, and Richard LaTulip, who address the need for a reimagined cybersecurity framework that fosters accountability while avoiding silos. The speakers delve into topics such as the importance of continuous audits as a standard for third-line defense, the translation of vulnerabilities into financial impacts for board-level accountability, and the concept of shared responsibility among CISOs, CROs, and DPOs in cloud-native environments.
