Cybersecurity Summit

With each new advancement, comes the advancement of new threats & for every new technology, there is an adversary looking to exploit it. We explore how CISO’s can help to cultivate a different way of thinking and encourage the business to strengthen its first line of defence.

We all aspire to build a rock solid cybersecurity system. One that can cope with ever evolving cyber risks, meet increasingly stringent regulations and adapt to the world of AI. Now, cybersecurity vendors are a critical part of your 'supply chain', and the pressure is on to ensure it is resilient. Let's explore the issues and practical considerations as you evaluate just how strong you really are.

With cyber threats coming in all shapes and sizes, equipping employees with cybersecurity skills is no longer optional—it’s essential. Companies need to implement strategies for re-skilling the workforce to address growing security challenges, from foundational cybersecurity training to advanced skill development. Fostering a culture of security awareness, closing the skills gap, and empowering employees to play an active role in protecting digital assets is key.

During this panel we will discuss insights on successful re-skilling initiatives, the latest training tools, and how investing in employee cyber readiness can safeguard your organisation’s future.

It is well documented that burnout in cybersecurity is at an all-time high, with the need to address the intense pressures of 24/7 threat vigilance and high-stakes environments. Options to reduce workloads include through automation, fostering supportive workplace cultures, and building resilience among professionals. This panel will address actionable insights to mitigate stress, enhance mental health, and create sustainable, effective security teams capable of navigating today’s evolving cyber challenges.

 In today’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, traditional perimeter-based security is no longer sufficient. This session explores Zero Trust, a modern security framework based on the principle that no entity. inside or outside the network should be inherently trusted.

Join Richard Moir as he examines the evolution of Zero Trust, why it’s more critical than ever, and how organizations can successfully implement it using HPE Aruba Networking’s cutting-edge solutions. Learn how advanced networking and security technologies can reinforce Zero Trust principles, enhance visibility, and mitigate risk.

With increasing regulatory requirements such as NIS2 mandating stronger cybersecurity measures, adopting a Zero Trust approach is no longer optional: it's essential.

Whether you're just beginning your Zero Trust journey or looking to refine your existing strategy, this session will provide valuable insights, key regulatory considerations, and actionable steps to strengthen your security posture.

Today’s cybersecurity leaders are under constant pressure to demonstrate their ability to manage risks effectively. With threats constantly evolving, companies need dynamic strategies to mitigate risks, especially in the cloud. This session will explore how CISOs can use Cyber Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) to stay ahead of threats and maintain strong security by analyzing attack methods and threat actor behavior.

The only way security practitioners can effectively manage the ever-changing threat landscape and maximize defensive strategies is by leveraging automation, orchestration, and continuous, evidence-based validation of the tools and technologies deployed in their enterprise environment. Effective threat management must be an ongoing, continuous, and integrated service, not just a one-time analysis or isolated mitigation effort.

In this session, attendees will learn about:

• Generating an effective organizational threat profile

• Identifying the threat actors, campaigns and adversarial TTPs that pose the greatest risk to your organization

• Understanding the business and security risks of threat exposure

• Gathering meaningful metrics to develop the business case for enhanced cybersecurity

• Developing a threat management solution that clearly helps manage and optimize your organization's attack and defense surface

In the race to innovate with AI, IoT, and cloud computing, businesses face a dual challenge: driving transformative growth while safeguarding against cybersecurity threats like data breaches and ransomware. Embedding security from the earliest stages of any project is critical to protect systems, data, and user trust. However, this proactive approach is often hindered by costs, resource limitations, and organizational barriers.

Join this panel to explore strategies for integrating robust cybersecurity measures from the ground up, ensuring innovation and security work hand-in-hand to drive success in an increasingly connected world.

According to IDC, APIs are pivotal to cloud-native applications, but their growth has heightened security risks like AiTM, DDoS, and data exposure attacks. Alarmingly, only 9% of organizations have comprehensive API security plans, according to IDC.

This panel will discuss best practices for data governance, AI-driven security, and standardized frameworks to protect API ecosystems.

Cyber resilience, crucial in safeguarding digital assets, ensures an organisation can maintain core functions during and after cyber attacks. Join our discussion on how applying intelligence, AI, and automation will shape the future of cyber resilience. 

Please join T-Systems as we explore the variables of cyber security vs cyber defence and the technological advancements in AI Security, Automation and threat intelligence that make it achievable.

In a world where breaches are a matter of when, not if, resilience is the new frontline. This roundtable explores how IT and security leaders can rethink endpoint recovery and cyber resilience—starting with the ability to reset, rehydrate, and resecure devices at scale. We’ll dive into real-world strategies for maintaining visibility, control, and security even when endpoints go dark. Join us to explore how Absolute Security’s firmware-embedded platform is helping organisations move from reactive defence to built-in resilience—so every reboot is a comeback.

For years, cybersecurity teams have chased threats across the perimeter, the endpoint, and the network - yet breaches remain inevitable. Boards are demanding evidence of resilience, regulators expect proof of control, and traditional security operations are struggling to keep up as attackers leverage AI and automation. Is proactive security and resilience a realistic aim? Can we predict, prevent and prove cyber resilience?

Join Rubrik for a discussion on how leading organisations are shifting from endless threat chasing to risk-based outcomes across on-premise, cloud and SaaS.

As organisations embrace new technologies and scale their operations, their attack surface grows exponentially. Proactively managing this ever-expanding landscape is crucial to defend against evolving cyber risks. Therefore, Continuous Vulnerability Exposure (CVE) Management is critical.

This panel will discuss strategies and tools that enable organisations to monitor and protect all access points, ensuring a proactive, resilient defence against breaches.

Human error remains the leading cause of cybersecurity incidents, from phishing attacks to insider threats. While organizations invest in advanced technologies, fostering a strong cybersecurity culture is crucial to bridging the gap. Integrating security awareness into everyday operations, therefore empowering employees to take ownership of cybersecurity, and addressing the challenges of creating a collaborative, blame-free reporting culture.

Join this panel to discover how to turn people from the weakest link into the strongest defence.
