Agenda

►What comes after Zero Trust Architecture?

Herbert Leenstra, Security Architect, Rabobank

• Understand the most impactful trends of the 14 identified technology trends that are driving the evolution beyond traditional Zero Trust Architecture.
• Discover the concept of the Security Immune System (SIS) and how AI, automation, and PQC are transforming security architectures.
• Gain practical insights to assess the impact of these trends and incorporate them into your organization's future security strategy and architecture roadmap.

►Has the West Won the Cyber War?

William Dixon, Senior Associate Fellow, Royal United Services Institute, & Associate Fellow, GLOBSEC

• Has the West Won the Cyber War?: How Russia, Iran and other authoritarian states pioneered cyber warfare — and why the West thought they had the advantage.
• The West’s Hidden Advantage: The Market: How capital, talent, technology and commercial innovation have become an unexpected source of Western cyber power.
• The China Test: Has the West really won? China combines authoritarian state power with a vast technology ecosystem — putting the West’s greatest advantage to the test.
   

►OT/IT Cybersecurity Alignment: Challenges, Risks, and Lessons Learned

Alireza Saadiani, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Allego

• Identifying the most common challenges in aligning OT and IT cybersecurity, including legacy systems, visibility gaps, and operational constraints.
• Learn practical approaches to improve collaboration between OT and IT teams while maintaining business continuity and safety.
• Discover best practices for reducing cyber risk in industrial and critical infrastructure environments through governance, segmentation, monitoring, and incident response.

►Fireside Chat: Navigating the Ripple Effect: How New Cyber Regulations Shape Corporate Strategy

Simon Brady, Event Chairman
Barbara Pires, Chief Information Security Officer, Booking Holdings Financial Services

• Understand how emerging cyber regulations reshape enterprise risk appetite, investment priorities, operating models, and board-level decision-making.
• Explore how regulatory change extends beyond compliance—affecting supply chains, third-party risk, incident response, resilience, M&A, and competitive positioning.
• Identify how leading organizations can move from reactive compliance to proactive cyber governance, using regulation as a catalyst for resilience, trust, and strategic differentiation.

►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 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.

►Panel Discussion: Beyond Compliance — From Regulation to Resilience

Simon Brady, Event Chairman (Moderater)
Lalit Bhakuni, Senior Leader Cyber Defense, ABN AMRO Bank
Eleonora Petridou, CISO, RIPE NCC
Stevan Bias, Business Information Security Officer, Booking.com
Walter Van Oostrum, CISO, Het CAK

• What has changed your organisation with NIS2, DORA or the CER Directive, and what lessons have you learned from implementation?
• Which metrics or indicators do you use to demonstrate cyber resilience to your board and regulators and which have you stopped using because they don't drive better decisions?
• How are you preparing for the next wave of cyber regulation and emerging threats?

►Runtime Identity Control: Continuous Trust for the Frontline and the Agentic Era

Jochen Raymaekers, Snr Principal Solutions Architect, Ping Identity

• Traditional identity breaks at the frontline, where decisions made in stable conditions fail in real-world execution. In the agentic AI era, that gap only widens as organizations must protect access across humans, devices, and autonomous agents operating in unpredictable environments.
• This technical session shows how to close that gap. Through deep dives and live demos, we’ll demonstrate how to implement continuous, low-friction, high-assurance access across shared devices and dynamic conditions using adaptive Journeys, real-time context signals, and liveness checks designed to help protect against deepfakes and other spoofing attempts.
• The result is identity that adapts at runtime, not just at login, giving organizations stronger control, better protection, and more trustworthy access for the frontline.

►Anti-Heroes! Why AI Goes Rogue

Michael Adjei, Director, Systems Engineering, EMEA, Illumio

• We are now in the agentic AI era, but what happens when your supposedly trusted agent turns rogue? Why does that even happen? And more importantly, could your organisation be the next victim?
• The misalignment of increasingly capable AI models continues to be a big challenge for the major AI vendors.
• This means that the consumer organisations who are using these models could potentially be harbouring dangerous rogue agents deep inside their corporate networks — and the risk becomes more evident with each new reported frontier release.
• So, in this session, Michael Adjei, Director of Systems Engineering at the breach containment company, Illumio, will take attendees through the principles of: why AI agents go rogue; how rogue AI is amplifying existing foundational cyber problems; what it means for cyber and business resilience; and rethinking defence in-depth for this new agentic AI era.
