UK & Ireland CISO Community
Executive Summit

Whether it’s a seemingly harmless email, trusted collaboration tool, innocent user error via shadow AI, or malicious exfiltration of sensitive information, employees can function as an asset but also a potential security risk.

Join this session to discover:

• Strategies to transform human risk into organisational resilience
• Approaches for quantifying and managing human-centric cybersecurity risks
• Ways to empower your security teams to connect the dots between humans and technology

Today’s ever-evolving threat landscape means organisations must be ready to bounce back swiftly and effectively from any cyber incident. Join us for an inside look at how Lloyd’s of London has gone beyond traditional business continuity, pioneering a comprehensive cyber resilience strategy that has dramatically reduced response times. 

• Discover how Lloyd’s have transitioned from conventional business continuity planning to a mature, organisation-wide approach to cyber resilience.
• Find out how Lloyd’s measured their recovery capabilities against strict timeframes, and how they put the “minimal viable company” concept to the test to guarantee critical operations could continue in the aftermath of a cyber attack.
• Walk away with practical strategies and real-world insights to empower your teams, minimise operational downtime, and ensure your organisation is truly prepared to respond to and recover from cyber threats with confidence.
