About the Event
The Toronto Anti-Summit is a single-day, in-person gathering that departs from conventional conference formats. Rather than passive presentations, the event structures its agenda around collaborative exercises, mock scenarios and practitioner-led sessions. The format is designed to facilitate candid knowledge-sharing among security executives navigating similar challenges, particularly those related to AI adoption and automation in enterprise environments.
AI Security and Governance Focus
Workshop content addresses the operational realities of deploying AI within enterprise security programmes. Sessions cover AI-driven attack response, securing and governing agentic AI systems, managing shadow AI, and the risks associated with poorly designed KPIs for autonomous agents. Additional topics include scaling AI securely, maintaining detection coverage, and non-human identity governance. The programme references frameworks and technologies including MITRE ATT&CK, Langflow, SIEM platforms and zero trust architectures.
Who Should Attend
The Anti-Summit targets CISOs, VPs of Information Security, CIOs, security operations managers, incident response professionals and GRC leaders. Attendees typically represent mid-to-large enterprises, particularly organisations actively deploying or managing AI technologies. The event suits practitioners seeking actionable strategies and peer collaboration over vendor presentations.
