This webinar features a woman leader who is redefining cybersecurity by shifting from reactive responses to anticipatory, intelligence-driven defense. The session explores how women leaders at the forefront of security, risk, and technology are embedding a \u201csecure-by-design\u201d mindset into organizational strategy, governance, and operations. From threat modeling and red teaming to AI-enabled detection and risk-based decision-making, the speaker will share real-world insights on building resilient security postures that enable innovation rather than slow it. Attendees will also gain insights into leading proactive defense programs, influencing executive buy-in, and cultivating diverse, forward-thinking security teams.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Key Takeaways:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Building a proactive defense and leadership mindset that reduces long-term risk <\/li>\n<li>Applying \u201csecure-first\u201d strategies to enable innovation <\/li>\n<li>Using threat intelligence and red teaming to shift from reactive to resilient security <\/li>\n<li>Championing the role of women leaders in redefining cybersecurity <\/li>\n<li>Implementing security-by-design across processes and technology <\/li>\n<li>Deploying AI-enabled defense with strong governance and oversight <\/li>\n<li>Securing executive buy-in to scale proactive security initiatives <\/li>\n<li>Strengthening cyber resilience through diverse leadership<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Speaker:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>  Preity Gupta,<\/strong>  Chief Enterprise AI Cybersecurity Advisor (GRC) <\/p>\n<p><strong>Bio:\u00a0<\/strong> Preity Gupta\u202fserves as an Independent Director, Global Security Board Advisor at EC-Council, Executive Board Member at Bharatiya Vitta Salahkar Samiti and Enterprise AI Security Architect and Advisor at Wipro.\u202fWith over two decades of expertise in multi-cloud security, AI governance, and risk optimization, she advises global boards and C-suites on cybersecurity strategy, compliance, and cost efficiency&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eccouncil.org\/cybersecurity-exchange\/cyber-talks\/secure-first-lead-boldly-women-leading-proactive-defense\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proactive Cybersecurity and Secure-by-Design Strategies https:\/\/www.eccouncil.org\/cybersecurity-exchange\/cyber-talks\/secure-first-lead-boldly-women-leading-proactive-defense\/ Publish Date: 2026-02-18 23:19:00 Source Domain: www.eccouncil.org Topic: Secure&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":215097,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.eccouncil.org\/cybersecurity-exchange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/12-march_465x310-Without-RN.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,57],"class_list":["post-215096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215096"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215096"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215096\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":215098,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215096\/revisions\/215098"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
