Securing the Next Wave — AI, Edge, and Advanced App Modernisation for CISOs

Attackers are now hiding in plain sight, weaponising trusted cloud services, SaaS platforms and everyday digital infrastructure to bypass traditional security measures. As the lines between legitimate activity and malicious behaviour blur, security leaders must rethink their approach and adapt quickly to stay ahead.

Join this Town Hall to discuss:

  • Spotting emerging attacker tactics shaping the next wave of cyber risk in AI, edge and cloud environments
  • Strengthening protection against threats hidden in trusted platforms
  • Adopting automated security to minimise attacker effectiveness and response time
