    PANEL DISCUSSION:

    As resilience moves up the business agenda, security leaders are being asked to manage competing priorities that don't always sit comfortably together. This panel gets into the reality of building programmes that genuinely perform under pressure, from navigating the tension between prevention and recovery, to using compliance as a lever for business alignment rather than a checkbox exercise.

    FIRESIDE CHAT:

    Identity is the most consistent thread running through real world breaches, and as environments fragment and machine identities multiply, the problem is outpacing most teams. This panel covers three of the most pressing challenges right now: managing access through constant organisational change, detecting insider threats before they escalate, and governing non-human identities without becoming a blocker to engineering.

    KEYNOTE:

    This session takes the audience inside a real attack. The methodical process of observing an organisation from the outside, connecting people, systems and routines, and finding the gap that was always there.

    The audience sees which signals were missed, where the bank could have intervened, and how small changes would have shut the door before it was ever opened.

    The lesson: attackers don't win at the point of breach. They win long before it.

    PANEL DISCUSSION:

    Security awareness has been on the agenda for years, yet human behaviour remains one of the most consistently exploited vulnerabilities in any organisation. As the volume and sophistication of threats grows, the question is no longer whether culture matters but how to actually build one that sticks. This panel explores what it takes to move past training programmes and embed security into the way people work, think and make decisions day to day.

    PANEL DISCUSSION

    As the pace of technological change accelerates, security leaders are being pulled in two directions at once; expected to stay technically credible while leading teams through growing pressure and uncertainty. This panel explores where that balance actually sits, how leaders are making effective decisions without needing to be the most technical person in the room, and why the human side of leadership is becoming as important as the strategic.

11:05
  1. 25 mins

    FIRESIDE CHAT:

    Translating technical risk into decisions that actually move the board has always been hard. Under NIS2, with personal liability now part of the equation, the pressure to get it right has sharpened considerably. This panel explores how security leaders are shifting from threat reporting to financial risk narratives that secure budget, drive real decisions and position security as a genuine business enabler.
