Building Resilience — Empowering Cybersecurity Success in 2026
Hosted by Sophos
Geopolitical tensions, evolving regulations, and the relentless pace of AI innovation are fuelling a new wave of cyber risks. For the first time, economic indicators show that cybersecurity incidents can have a measurable impact on national growth. In this context, resilience is emerging as a key measure of security maturity—but what does that really mean?
Join this town hall to:
- Clarify how organisations are redefining resilience and adapting their strategies accordingly
- Explore the trends reshaping the security landscape across Europe and how CISOs are recalibrating priorities
- Discover practical and proven strategies for strengthening systems, processes, and organisational readiness
