We believe AI has rewritten both sides of the security equation at once — and that most organizations are hearing about only half of it. At iShruti, we curate speakers who can address all three fronts of AI and cybersecurity: how attackers now use AI, how defenders are deploying it, and how to secure the AI systems your own organization is racing to adopt.
The security keynote circuit is crowded with vendors pitching a product wrapped in a threat narrative. Our speakers are practitioners — CISOs, security researchers, red-teamers, and threat-intelligence leaders — who can give an audience an honest, vendor-neutral picture of the AI-era threat landscape and what actually reduces risk.
We serve CISOs and their teams, boards and audit committees, security conferences, and enterprise leaders who now have to treat AI-driven cyber risk as a board-level concern rather than a purely technical one.
AI has industrialized the attacker's side. AI-written phishing that is grammatically flawless and personalized, deepfake voice and video for social engineering, and automated vulnerability discovery have lowered the cost and skill floor for attacks. The threat environment your team faced two years ago is not the one it faces today.
Defenders are racing to operationalize AI in the security operations center — for alert triage, threat detection, and automated response — because the volume of signals long ago outstripped human capacity. But AI-augmented defense introduces its own failure modes, false-confidence risks, and a serious skills gap that leaders need to plan for.
Securing AI itself is an entirely new discipline. As enterprises deploy models and agents, the attack surface expands into unfamiliar territory: prompt injection, data poisoning, model exfiltration, and agent hijacking. Most security programs have not yet mapped these risks, let alone built controls for them.
AI-driven cyber risk has become a board and disclosure issue. Regulators, insurers, and directors are asking sharper questions, and security leaders increasingly have to translate AI-era threats into governance and business-risk language. Speakers who can bridge the technical and the boardroom are strategically valuable.
Every speaker is individually vetted by our team. What you see is what you book.
We're actively sourcing speakers in this category for our August 2026 launch.

These are the most-requested topics for ai & cybersecurity keynote speakers for 2026 conferences.
Five questions every event organizer should ask before booking.
A CISO or security executive is usually stronger for leadership and board audiences, translating AI threats into risk and governance terms. A researcher or red-teamer tends to be stronger for technical audiences who want depth on attack techniques and defenses. For a mixed audience, look for someone who can move fluently between the two registers.
Watch a full recorded talk and read the speaker's recent writing. Vendor-neutral practitioners describe the threat landscape and the trade-offs of different defenses without steering everything toward one product. If every problem in the talk resolves to a single tool, treat it as marketing. We prioritize independent, practitioner voices.
Yes, and it is worth being explicit about which you need. "AI for security" (using AI to defend) and "security for AI" (protecting models and agents) are related but distinct topics. As your organization deploys AI, the second is increasingly urgent. Tell us which emphasis your audience needs.
Yes — and it is often overdue. Boards now carry oversight responsibility for cyber risk, and AI has materially changed that risk. For board audiences, choose a speaker who leads with business impact, governance, and disclosure implications rather than deep technical detail, and consider a shorter briefing-plus-discussion format.
Fees vary by the speaker's profile, seniority, and format. Our platform shows each speaker's fee range transparently, with a flat 17.5% platform fee and no hidden markups, so you can align the engagement with your budget.

Yes — the security of models and agents, including prompt injection, data poisoning, and agent misuse, is a fast-emerging niche we source for specifically. We can prioritize speakers with genuine depth in AI system security.
Yes. Many security leaders on our roster are comfortable in a condensed board or executive-briefing format, pairing a short briefing with facilitated discussion of your organization's specific risk posture.
Yes. As cyber-incident disclosure expectations tighten, we source for speakers who can connect AI-era threats to governance, compliance, and disclosure obligations, not just technical defense.
It varies with profile and format. Every speaker on iShruti shows a transparent fee range, and we charge a flat 17.5% platform fee with no hidden costs.
Yes. Most of our speakers offer virtual and hybrid formats, which work well for distributed security teams and global briefings.
