Event Sessions
One Day Event 12:30 pm
Design Thinking Workshop: Everything Everywhere All at Once: Cyber Crisis Edition
It begins with a single unpatched appliance. Within minutes, the incident spreads across systems, disrupts critical operations, compromises financial processes, and turns the organization’s own AI capabilities against it.
The environment is sophisticated. Defenses are modern. AI is embedded across the enterprise. Post-quantum migration is nearly complete.
In this 60-minute design-thinking simulation, participants will step into a fast-moving cyber crisis where one overlooked vulnerability triggers a systemic chain reaction.
One breach. Seven interconnected threads. Each table will manage a different dimension of the crisis, but only the room will see the full picture. Teams will face limited budgets, incomplete information, unexpected developments, and escalating pressure from the board, all while the adversary continues to adapt. Every decision will shape what happens next.
Designed to mirror the complexity of a real-world cyber crisis, the session will test how effectively CISOs can collaborate, prioritize, communicate, and respond when the stakes are high and time is running out.
Can the room connect the signals, contain the damage, and outmaneuver a common adversary before the crisis becomes irreversible?

Governing Machine Identities & AI Agents in Hybrid Cloud: A Quantum-Ready Roadmap
Machine identities and AI agents are multiplying across hybrid cloud environments—creating a rapidly expanding attack surface that traditional IAM can’t control. At the same time, quantum computing threatens today’s cryptography.
This session delivers practical strategies to govern non-human identities and AI agents at scale, while building a clear, actionable roadmap to quantum-ready cryptography. Learn how to secure the present and future-proof your hybrid cloud infrastructure in one integrated approach.

Securing AI Across the Enterprise – Assistants to Agents
AI is reshaping the enterprise at an unprecedented pace, creating new opportunities for productivity, innovation, and automation. At the same time, it is introducing new risks that many organisations are only beginning to understand. This session examines how AI is changing the cybersecurity landscape, why securing AI requires a different approach from securing traditional systems, and the challenges security leaders must prepare for as AI becomes more deeply embedded across the business. Join us as we explore the foundations of a Secure AI future and what it means for modern organisations
