October 2025 Dinner Meeting

Smarter, Faster, Safer: Integrating AI and Cybersecurity in QA

Join us in October as we meet in a new location – Chelo’s in Rumford, located at 45 Newport Ave, Rumford RI, 02916.

As organizations adopt AI to enhance quality assurance, they gain new levels of speed, accuracy, and efficiency in their processes. However, with these benefits comes an equally important responsibility: ensuring that the systems and data powering AI remain secure. This presentation will explore how AI is transforming quality assurance workflows, highlight practical use cases, and emphasize why cybersecurity must be integrated into every step of AI adoption. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to implement AI effectively while safeguarding their organization against emerging risks.
