Cyber resilience is the focus of this session, setting the stage for how organisations can strengthen stability amid growing complexity. Attendees will explore how resilience improves when human judgement is paired with the practical use of artificial intelligence, not treated as its replacement. The discussion will show how AI can support everyday decisions, sharpen detection and response, and strengthen long-term planning. The session also addresses rising third-party and supply chain risk, outlining why greater visibility and assurance are now essential. With clear governance and continuous assessment, AI becomes a tool that enhances oversight and builds confidence in critical dependencies. Attendees will leave with an understanding for combining human insight, AI enablement and robust supplier management into a cohesive model for resilient, sustainable growth.

This talk explores the growing pressures on CISOs as they navigate accelerating threats, AI-driven risks and heightened board expectations. It highlights the importance of safeguarding the wellbeing of security leaders, practical approaches to managing stress, and how organisations can build a culture that supports sustainable cybersecurity leadership. 

This session explores how the convergence of IT, OT and AI is reshaping security requirements and why traditional protections are no longer enough. It examines how attackers target CPS environments, the potential real-world consequences of a breach, and the growing need for continuous monitoring, strong governance and safer system design. The session highlights how tools and services can support faster detection, enhanced resilience to respond to attacks and maintain business continuity in the face of adverse situations and safer operations and a more robust defence posture across the systems that modern society depends on.

Security operations are being reshaped by an environment where threats evolve faster than human teams can track them. This session explores how AI is transforming the SOC into a more adaptive, efficient and resilient function. It examines how intelligent systems can reduce alert fatigue, enhance threat detection, accelerate investigation and support faster, more confident decision-making. The talk also highlights the importance of keeping human expertise at the centre, showing how AI can augment analysts rather than replace them. Attendees will gain practical insight into building a SOC approach that aligns with the human–AI era: one where technology amplifies capability, strengthens response and enables teams to stay ahead in a landscape defined by speed and complexity.

This session explores why forward-looking preparation is essential and how organisations can take practical steps today. It examines the need to audit encryption dependencies, identify long-lived data at risk, plan migration paths and understand the broader implications of quantum performance on infrastructure and privacy. Attendees will learn how quantum-safe strategies can be embedded into long-term resilience planning and why the organisations that prepare early will be best positioned to gain a competitive edge, maintain trust, continuity and operational stability when quantum capability reaches critical mass.
