Agenda

Risk leaders’ panel: Cyber risk measurement and management

Best practice for measuring cyber risk – what is it and how to ensure buy in from the management team and board
Quantification and analysis of cyber risk
Identifying vulnerabilities that could lead to cyber breaches
How can we ensure cyber risk is embedded in strategic decision making
Creating future proof measurement and management systems to enable robust security platforms
Reducing legacy architecture and platforms to avoid being exposed to accidental risk

Identity Protection in an AI-Driven World

Cybersecurity and IT decision-makers continue to make significant progress in combatting identity-related threats. But they are typically dependent on static manual techniques. As cybercriminals increasingly leverage AI, existing identity controls are struggling to keep up. While cybersecurity criminals still use basic techniques, GenAI is fast becoming used to support attacks and obtain credentials and privileges.

How can organisations respond to ensure their identity management controls are adequate in an increasingly AI-driven world? In this session we will discuss:

The threats to identify protection from AI
The benefits of using AI to augment identify protection
The impact of Generative AI on identity and access management
Understanding the ROI of AI in security
