CISO Panel: Reinventing the vSOC with Agentic AI

As vehicle cybersecurity grows more complex, the role of the cyber teams and the vSOC is undergoing a profound transformation. In this candid CISO panel, executives from Honda, Marelli, May Mobility, and Upstream will explore how agentic AI is reshaping cybersecurity operations: from the talent profiles required to the shift from reactive, compliance-driven approaches toward real-time intelligence and proactive risk management.

The panel will examine how today’s cybersecurity teams are balancing regulatory demands, with many resources still focused on compliance, and how AI can help shift that dynamic to enable more adaptive and intelligent defenses. They will also explore how the availability, quality, and freshness of data are now critical enablers of effective AI-driven detection, response, and resilience, and why breaking longstanding data silos between OEMs, suppliers, and fleets is essential to building a truly collaborative defense. 

The conversation will cover the growing role of suppliers in operational cybersecurity, moving beyond design-phase contributions toward active participation in threat detection, response, and feedback loops. Finally, the panel will explore the impact of AI and emerging technologies, where cybersecurity is tightly intertwined with functional safety. Join us to hear first-hand perspectives from leading CISOs on AI-driven strategies for securing the future of mobility.
