Security in the AI Era
Event Details
Join Arista Networks for Security in the AI Era, an executive-focused security event at Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse in Plano.
AI is changing both the threat landscape and the way organizations think about securing and operating their networks. This session will bring together IT, network, and security leaders for a practical discussion around emerging security challenges, network visibility, AI-driven operations, and how Arista is approaching security across the modern network.
Hear directly from Arista leaders and technical experts, including perspectives from our CISO organization, AVA and CloudVision, and Arista’s broader security strategy.
We will also leave plenty of time for lunch, questions, and conversation with the Arista team and other technology leaders from across the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
