  • ORCAs: The Goldilocks Engine for AI-Powered SOCs

    Mar 10 from 2-5 pm CT

    Location: Motorola Mobility Facility
    Merchandise Mart, 18th Floor
    222 W Merchandise Mart Plaza
    Chicago, IL 60654

    Ginkgo will host a private CISO roundtable led by Richard Rushing, CISO of Motorola Mobility & Lenovo, at the Motorola Mobility Facility in Chicago’s Merchandise Mart.

    Security operations are at the crossroads of a new phase as AI becomes embedded in investigation and response workflows. Many organizations are finding that automation only improves outcomes when the underlying context is accurate, consistent, and grounded in operational reality. Without trusted visibility into assets, network behavior, and environmental context, AI risks amplifying noise rather than improving decisions.

    This peer discussion will explore how CISO leaders can build trusted operational context as a foundational platform for modern security operations by delivering the right data into AI‑assisted investigations, reducing analyst workload through intelligent enrichment, and aligning Security and Network Operations around shared sources of truth.

    Joining us are key leaders from NetBrain and Command Zero, bringing deep operational expertise to drive practical insights and meaningful peer exchange.

    Space is limited to maintain a highly interactive, peer‑only discussion.

    Dinner after at The Kinzie Chophouse.

    Featured Hosts & Speakers

    Tim Colby – CEO, Ginkgo
    Richard Rushing – CISO, Motorola Mobility (a Lenovo Company)
    Dean De Beer – Cofounder and CTO, Command Zero
    David Mann – VP of Global Services, NetBrain
