IDC Keynote Session: Securing an AI-Powered Business – Navigating the New Frontier of Trust, Compliance & Innovation
Joel Stradling
Senior Research Director, European Security, IDC
Softeng: From point defence to continuous protection: making security a business enabler
Security delivered as a one-off project no longer matches the pace of AI-driven threats. How a continuous protection model (unifying detection, response and advanced cloud security) helps mid-size and large organisations stay resilient while keeping security aligned to business objectives rather than treating it as a cost centre.
Strategic Partner Session: AI versus AI: defending at machine speed
Adversaries are already using AI to scale and automate attacks, leaving manual triage and periodic testing struggling to keep pace. how AI-driven, autonomous approaches (continuously finding, prioritising and validating exploitable weaknesses across cloud, hybrid and identity environments) help security teams close the gap and act before attackers do.
PANEL. AI, Automation and Responsible Cybersecurity
Artificial Intelligence and intelligent automation are redefining cybersecurity—from de-tection to decision-making. However, responsible use is essential. This panel will ex-plore how to deploy AI securely, with transparency and governance, turning innovation into trust. Discussions will cover AI-driven analytics, orchestration, automation, and eth-ical frameworks that ensure accountability across the digital ecosystem

Strategic Partner Session: External threats and third-party risk: securing the extended enterprise
The attack surface now extends well beyond the organisation’s own perimeter. This talk examines how to gain visibility over suppliers, partners and external exposure before adversaries exploit them.

Tech Talk Partner Session: Intelligence-led defence: turning global threat research into local resilience
PANEL. Resilient Security & Digital Sovereignty – Redefining Trust for the Next Era
Security has entered a new era—one where success is defined not only by stopping threats, but by empowering organizations to stay in control, adapt fast, and bounce back stronger than ever.
In this high‑impact panel, we’ll explore how leading organizations are modernizing their infrastructures and unifying platforms to turn resilience into a true operational advantage—leveraging advanced capabilities like MDR/XDR, observability, and cloud‑native protection.
We’ll dive into next‑generation trust models, Zero Trust strategies, and digital sovereignty frameworks that enable companies to retain control of their data, infrastructures, and vendor ecosystem—without compromising agility, innovation, or interoperability.
The conversation will also unpack the metrics and reference models shaping how European industries and critical sectors measure security maturity, effectiveness, and readiness for what’s coming next.

Tech Talk Partner Session: Identity and access as the new perimeter: from IAM to cloud-native protection
As identity becomes the primary attack surface, investment is surging in identity and access management and cloud-native protection. This talk sets out practical steps to secure identities and workloads across hybrid environments.
Tech Talk Partner Session: Knowing the limits of AI in security operations
AI is powerful but not infallible. This talk shares where automation delivers most value in day-to-day security operations, and where established rules and human judgement remain the stronger defence.
PANEL. Leadership and Culture: Building Human-Centric Cyber Resilience
Technology alone cannot ensure security without leadership, culture, and talent. This exclusive end-user panel will bring together CISOs, CIOs, and business leaders to discuss how to embed security into organizational culture, communicate risk to the board, and attract specialized talent. It will also address human risk management, awareness, and the role of leadership as a driver of digital trust
