IDC & TrendAI Executive Dinner
Cyber Risk Management – the New Top Priority
In collaboration with
Cyber risk management is a high priority for cybersecurity decision makers.
Cyber attacks are inevitable, having shifted from a “maybe we will be breached” to a “we will get breached at some point” scenario – so it is not “if” but “when”? The risks are multifold, spanning unsafe AI adoption, complexity, integration between legacy and modern cyber tech, and insider threats. This drives the need for continuous monitoring and a greater emphasis on focusing on risk management over technical jargon or product- and tech-centric decisions.
The evolving nature of attacks, often involving malicious insider activity or credential misuse, requires continuous monitoring and vulnerability management, with organization-wide support and clarity on dynamic real-time risk vectors for key stakeholders across the business.
A peer-to-peer roundtable dinner
This exclusive event offers a confidential setting for peer-to-peer exchange, enabling IT decision-makers to share real-world experiences, challenges, and lessons learned. Participants will gain perspectives from IDC and TrendAI experts on how organizations can strengthen cyber resilience and govern AI adoption in an increasingly AI-driven threat landscape.
European organizations rank data privacy breaches (26%) and security vulnerabilities from autonomous actions (23%) as the two biggest business risks of adopting agentic AI, well ahead of transparency, misuse, and ethical concerns.
The pattern reflects how data protection sensitivity and the loss of human oversight dominate the region’s governance worries, and why securing AI adoption is now a board-level cyber risk conversation.
