HITRUST CxO Security Forum at the 3M Open
Trust, Third-Party Risk, AI, and Cyber Resilience in Regulated Industries
Friday, July 24, 2026
TPC Twin Cities | Blaine, Minnesota
Private Hospitality Suite Overlooking the 18th Green
A private gathering of senior cybersecurity, technology, risk, compliance, and business leaders.
Hosted by HITRUST in partnership with the CxO Security Forum.
Executive Overview
For most organizations, cybersecurity is no longer primarily a technology challenge. It’s a trust challenge.
Organizations increasingly depend upon vendors, cloud providers, AI platforms, managed service providers, software supply chains, healthcare ecosystems, financial networks, and critical infrastructure partners they do not directly control. The question facing executive leaders today is increasingly simple:
How do you measure trust in systems, organizations, and technologies you cannot directly see, audit, or control?
Against the backdrop of the 3M Open, a select group of executive leaders will gather for candid, peer-driven discussions focused on trust, assurance, cyber resilience, and the future of third-party risk management. This gathering brings together leaders responsible for managing risk across increasingly interconnected business ecosystems where traditional approaches to assurance, compliance, and cybersecurity are being challenged by AI, complex supply chains, and evolving regulatory expectations.
Why Attend
Unlike traditional conferences, this gathering is intentionally designed to foster meaningful interaction among peers.
Participants will spend the day engaging in:
- Executive discussions with senior industry leaders
- Peer-to-peer dialogue and knowledge sharing
- Special guest conversations
- Industry and market perspectives
- Informal networking throughout the day
- Premium hospitality at one of the PGA Tour’s premier events
Executives may participate in as much or as little of the structured programming as their schedule permits.
The private hospitality suite overlooking the 18th green serves as both the discussion venue and networking environment, allowing participants to move naturally between structured dialogue, individual meetings, and tournament viewing.
Discussion Themes
Trust at Scale
Organizations increasingly recognize that compliance alone does not create trust.
As ecosystems become more interconnected, leaders must determine:
- What evidence actually creates trust?
- How should assurance evolve beyond questionnaires and certifications?
- What does meaningful transparency look like in modern vendor ecosystems?
AI Changes Everything
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping:
- Healthcare
- Financial Services
- Manufacturing
- Government
- Critical Infrastructure
Executive leaders are increasingly being asked to evaluate:
- AI governance
- Data ownership
- Model risk
- Regulatory obligations
- Vendor accountability
- Trustworthiness of AI-enabled services
How should organizations adapt when technology evolves faster than traditional governance models?
The Future of Third-Party Cyber Risk Management
Many organizations have matured their management of direct vendors.
The next challenge involves risks extending beyond contractual visibility:
- Fourth-party relationships
- Fifth-party dependencies
- Software supply chains
- Embedded technologies
- AI-enabled services
- Open-source dependencies
How should organizations assess and communicate risk that exists beyond their immediate sphere of control?
Resilience Over Perfection
No organization eliminates risk.
The organizations succeeding today are building:
- Resilience
- Recoverability
- Transparency
- Measurable trust
- Executive preparedness
How should leadership teams rethink cybersecurity and operational risk in an era where disruption is inevitable?
