Gartner Security & Risk Management Conference: OpenPolicy & Atlassian on the Rise of Policy Intelligence
At the Gartner Security & Risk Management Conference, Dr. Amit Elazari, Founder and CEO of OpenPolicy, sat down with David Cross, Chief Information Security Officer at Atlassian, to discuss why policy intelligence is becoming a critical capability for security leaders and technology organizations.
The conversation explores how rapidly evolving regulations—including AI governance frameworks, cybersecurity mandates, and industry-specific compliance requirements—are reshaping how organizations build products, manage risk, and serve customers. As policy changes accelerate across jurisdictions, staying informed is no longer just a legal or compliance responsibility; it is increasingly a business and security imperative.
David shares insights from his experience leading security programs at some of the world's largest technology companies, highlighting the growing need for organizations to understand regulatory developments, anticipate their impact, and respond at scale. He also discusses the role of AI and technology in helping organizations democratize access to policy expertise and keep pace with global regulatory change.
