The AI-First Paradox:

Networking Dinner at
Shangri-la The Fort, Manila

16th April 2026
18:30 – 21:00 Manila Time

WHAT WE WILL DISCUSS

Organizations rushing to embed AI into core operations are discovering that innovation can come with a strategic downside: longer recovery times, higher incident costs, and increased security complexity. The 2026 Fastly Global Security Report reveals that AI-first businesses take 80 days longer to recover from security events and incur 135% higher incident costs than their peers.

In this executive roundtable, we’ll explore:

    • How AI expands the attack surface and creates new visibility gaps
    • Why traditional security models are struggling under automation stress
    • The role of infrastructure, governance, and shared accountability
    • What organisational leaders must prioritise to balance innovation and resilience

This will be a closed-door peer-level conversation designed for senior security, technology, and risk leaders facing the real-world implications of AI acceleration.
