  • Bringing together security, cloud, and IT insights to improve collaboration and cross-team decision-making.
  • Strengthening incident response by improving visibility, reducing tool sprawl, and streamlining operational processes.
  • Tackling emerging threat patterns — including human, machine, and AI-driven behaviours — through improved detection and analysis.

Andrea Szeiler, Group CISO, MVM Ltd

  • Understanding Your Third-Party Ecosystem: Mapping vendors, services, and business dependencies to identify what truly matters.

►Rise of Autonomous Attacks (Live Mythos-Style Hack)

Manit Sahib, Ethical Hacker & Former Head of Penetration Testing & Red Teaming, Bank of England

  • See how autonomous AI agents are now running the recon and exploitation phases of real-world attacks. and what that means for boards, CISOs, and red teams in 2026.
  • A first-hand look at how agentic offensive AI works in practice, driven by intent, not step-by-step instruction.
  • See AI agent run reconnaissance against a controlled target, identify exploitable assets, and demonstrate the early stages of a kill chain in real time.
  • A walk through real-world findings from recent engagements including critical vulnerabilities discovered by AI agents that automated scanners (Tenable, Qualys, Nessus) had missed for over 18 years.
  • What defenders need to know: why traditional, control-based security models are structurally insufficient against goal-driven autonomous attackers, and the three specific actions every CISO should be taking before this becomes the default attacker model.
