The Security Chapter

By 2026, AI isn’t just assisting workflows; it’s executing them. Internal agents, copilots with elevated permissions, automated decision engines and LLM-driven integrations have expanded the attack surface in ways traditional controls were never built to handle.

This workshop examines the next phase of AI security: protecting autonomous systems that read, write, decide and act across the business. Discussions will cover agent permissions, safe action boundaries, continuous monitoring, prompt-injection hardening, model integrity and preventing silent failure modes.

Executives will explore what a secure operational model looks like when AI becomes an actor rather than a tool.

Hybrid ecosystems in 2026 are dominated by SaaS chains, API-to-API communication, machine identities, service accounts and ephemeral workloads that appear and disappear within seconds. With attackers exploiting identity systems and API connections at scale, Zero Trust has become less of a framework and more of a live operational discipline.

This workshop dives into how mature organisations are reshaping Zero Trust for a borderless estate, tightening identity governance, securing API interconnectivity, managing fast-proliferating machine identities and enforcing “least privilege” in environments where nothing is static.

These focused 1:1 sessions pair you with peers and sponsors based on shared priorities, challenges and areas of expertise. Each meeting is curated using attendee insights, ensuring every conversation is relevant, purposeful and aligned to your interests.

Whether you’re exploring new ideas, pressure-testing a strategy, or discovering emerging capabilities, these sessions are designed to deliver genuine value in a short window of time. It’s a chance to engage in informed, high-quality discussions that move beyond introductions and straight into meaningful exchange.

This collaborative session brings executives together to unpack real challenges, share practical experiences and explore new approaches as a group. Rather than traditional presentations, the focus is on open dialogue, identifying what’s working, what isn’t, and how others are navigating similar issues in their own organisations.

Guided by a facilitator, you’ll work through emerging pain points, compare strategies and exchange insight with peers facing the same pressures. It’s an opportunity to gain clarity, discover alternative viewpoints and walk away with ideas you can apply immediately.

Designed to be energetic, conversational and outcome-driven, this is where collective expertise turns into practical solutions.

The demo sessions give you the chance to explore emerging capabilities directly with our partners, seeing how their technology performs in real scenarios rather than on slides. These are practical, interactive demonstrations designed to help you understand what each solution actually does, how it integrates, and where it can support your priorities.

You’ll be able to ask focused questions, dive deeper into specific use-cases and get a clear sense of the value behind each offering. It’s a straightforward, no-pressure way to compare approaches, discover what’s possible, and uncover ideas you can take straight back into your own environment.

A meaningful opportunity to experience innovation first-hand and engage with the people building it.

As organisations scale AI programmes, data ecosystems are becoming more fragmented and harder to control. Models sit in one platform, training data in another, vector stores elsewhere, and analytics tools everywhere in between. The result: a highly distributed estate where sensitive data moves constantly, and new risks appear faster than traditional governance can respond.

This workshop focuses on how executives are securing modern AI and data pipelines in 2026, from data lineage and access control to model integrity, RAG pipelines, monitoring, and preventing leakage across interconnected platforms.

By 2026, organisations will be judged not only on how well they prevent attacks, but on how effectively they can withstand and recover from them. With adversaries targeting business continuity and regulators raising expectations, resilience has become a core strategic priority.

This workshop focuses on practical approaches to building resilience across people, processes and technology. You’ll explore real incident scenarios, discuss how peers are stress-testing their environments, and compare methods for improving readiness, response coordination and communication under pressure.

By 2026, software supply chain risk will have become one of the most challenging areas for security teams. With open-source components in every product, sprawling dependency trees and a rise in adversaries targeting upstream libraries, organisations are rethinking how they validate the code they rely on.

This workshop examines practical approaches to securing the software supply chain, from governing open-source usage and enforcing integrity checks, to managing dependency sprawl, reducing build-pipeline risk and gaining real visibility across third- and fourth-party components.

Quantum computing may not be fully realised yet, but the risk landscape is already shifting. “Harvest-now, decrypt-later” attacks, evolving standards and the push towards post-quantum cryptography make preparation a priority for organisations with long-lived or highly sensitive data.

This workshop focuses on what executives should be doing today to build crypto-agility into their environments. You’ll explore where quantum exposure sits, how to identify systems that need priority migration and what a realistic transition plan looks like without disruption to critical services.

By 2026, deepfake voice, video and hyper-personalised phishing have become mainstream tools for attackers, making people the most convincingly targeted surface in the entire organisation. Traditional awareness programmes are no longer enough when AI can impersonate executives, rewrite communication styles and bypass human intuition.

This workshop focuses on strengthening the “human perimeter” through practical defences against AI-driven social engineering. You’ll explore how organisations are adapting training, building verification controls, countering identity spoofing, and redesigning processes to reduce human risk in environments where trust is easily exploited.

With the EU AI Act, evolving privacy rules, data localisation requirements and the rise of internal AI systems, 2026 is the year when data governance becomes deeply entangled with security. Sensitive data now moves through vector stores, RAG pipelines, SaaS chains and analytics platforms, often without full visibility.

This workshop examines how executives are navigating the new realities of privacy and digital sovereignty. Expect discussion on governing AI training data, enforcing data residency, managing cross-border risk, embedding privacy by design and aligning security, legal and AI teams around a shared operating model.
