About this event

Grinders,

Everyone's slapping AI into their company right now.

Most of them are going to get burned.

Not because AI is bad. Because they're moving fast and breaking things that really shouldn't break, like security, compliance, and customer trust.

Here's the thing: There's a playbook for doing this right. And the guy who wrote it is coming to SG Frisco.

Lalit Ahluwalia spent 20+ years running global security for Accenture, Deloitte, PwC, and Wipro. He's the person Fortune 500 execs call when they need to figure out how to use AI without blowing up their company.

He got tired of watching companies fumble this. So he built DigitalXForce -- a platform that basically gives you a real-time dashboard of everything that could go wrong across your AI, cloud, and security stack.

(Instead of finding out you had a problem six months later during an audit. Fun.)

What we're actually talking about:

  • Why the old "check the compliance box once a year" approach dies the moment you add AI

  • How to see risk in real-time instead of waiting for something to break

  • The frameworks enterprise boards use that startups can steal

  • Practical stuff you can actually implement without a Fortune 500 budget

Ramesh Nuti is hosting this one. 14 years in enterprise security + building a B2B SaaS + investing in early-stage startups. He knows which questions to ask for people who don't have unlimited resources.
