In today’s rapidly evolving business environment, Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) frameworks must adapt to increasing complexity, volume, and regulatory scrutiny. Cognitive GRC—integrating artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and advanced data analytics—represents the future of effective risk management and compliance.

This session will explore the concept of Cognitive GRC, highlighting how cognitive technologies enable organizations to automate and optimize GRC processes, improve decision-making, and stay ahead of regulatory changes. Attendees will learn how cognitive GRC provides real-time risk assessment, predictive insights, and streamlined compliance, empowering businesses to proactively address challenges in governance and risk management. We’ll also discuss how organizations can begin integrating these technologies into their existing frameworks, the key benefits of cognitive GRC, and the importance of balancing automation with ethical considerations.

This discussion is designed for business leaders, risk management professionals, and anyone interested in understanding how Cognitive GRC can reshape the future of governance, risk, and compliance.
