A practical, behind-the-scenes analysis of a real-world security breach. This session breaks down the timeline, attack path, detection gaps, and critical response decisions, highlighting where controls failed, what made the difference, and how security leaders can better prepare for and respond to similar incidents.

As autonomous AI systems become more capable, organisations must rethink governance. This panel explores how to design and implement technical policies that ensure safe, secure, and accountable use of agentic AI, with a focus on practical controls, oversight mechanisms, and how to operationalise policy in real environments.

Whilst the hype around Anthropic’s Mythos is highly visible, very few practitioners have actually been granted early access to the platform. In this session, a leading practitioner will share their firsthand experience working with advanced models that exhibit capabilities similar to those associated with Mythos, covering overall capability, ease of use, and initial reactions. This is a rare opportunity to hear informed, practical insight from someone operating close to the cutting edge of this emerging technology.

The Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) remains one of the cyber security industry’s most widely referenced sources of insight into real-world breaches and attack trends.

This session will explore the key findings from the latest report, examining the emerging threats, attack patterns and notable shifts that are shaping today’s threat landscape. We’ll discuss how this year’s findings compare with previous reports, what they tell us about the changing tactics of threat actors, and the lessons organisations can take away to strengthen their security posture.

Join the discussion to gain practical insights from one of the industry’s most respected annual reports and explore what the latest data means for security leaders and practitioners.
