Agentic AI systems can operate independently, making decisions and taking actions without human input — including ones that break the rules. When embedded in trusted environments, these agents can be manipulated to bypass controls, exploit access, and deploy malware with little or no warning signs. This session explores how attackers are leveraging agentic AI, and how defenders are using safe AI to stay one step ahead. Expect real-world insights into the new battleground of autonomous cyber threats.

AI tools are being adopted faster than organisations can govern them. From unapproved chatbots to rogue automations, agentic AI is becoming the latest form of Shadow IT, often interacting with sensitive data and operating outside compliance frameworks. This panel will unpack the risks, explore real-life examples, and ask what boards, CISOs and innovation teams should be doing to regain control.

Quantum computing isn’t science fiction anymore, and when it arrives at scale, today’s encryption standards won’t stand a chance. With rapid advances in quantum chips and rising geopolitical tension, the pressure is building. This session looks at how the threat landscape is shifting, what post-quantum security looks like in practice, and the steps organisations should be taking now to protect critical assets for the future.
