Mapping the Human Perimeter: Understanding and Mapping Modern Cybersecurity Threats

Oliver Simonnet, Lead Cybersecurity Researcher, CultureAI

The security game has changed. Your perimeter isn't just your office anymore - it's everywhere your people are. This shift has made understanding human risk critical, transforming our focus from securing individual endpoints to protecting individuals themselves. In this session, we'll explore the concept of the "human perimeter" and how organisations can develop a structured approach to managing human risk. We'll introduce the concept of human threat mapping to identify and assess the risks posed by employee behaviour in an increasingly decentralised workforce.

Attendees will learn:

• How the cybersecurity perimeter has evolved over the past decade.
• Why Human Risk Management is now essential for all organisations and how to integrate this into existing cybersecurity frameworks.
• The fundamentals of human threat mapping: tools, techniques, and methodologies.

Zero Trust in An AI World – Moving From Talk to Action

Michael Adjei, Director, Solutions Engineering, Illumio

In the face of evolving threat landscape, it is no longer a matter of if you are targeted by threat actors but rather when you are targeted.  This fact is further amplified by the pervasive use of AI across various digital platforms today. How can organisations set themselves up to survive and thrive after an attack? This session will focus on how to implement zero trust principles to ensure critical business operations can continue during and after a cyber incident.

Attendees will learn:

• Rethinking cyber resilience in favour of ease of operationalisation.

The Security Gap No One Talks About

John Wood, Senior Regional Sales Manager, Contrast Security

For years, organisations have relied on a simple security model: find vulnerabilities early, fix them before deployment. This approach sounds reasonable - until we confront the reality of modern cyber threats. Real-world cyber threats occur against live production applications, not pre-production environments. Cybercriminals exploit gaps—zero-days, unpatched dependencies, and hidden misconfigurations—as soon as they emerge. Join John Wood from Contrast Security to explore the future of application security with real-time protection and intelligence.

Attendees will learn:

• Why traditional security approaches fail against production threats.
• How modern attacks bypass static testing and legacy security tools like WAFs.
• The importance of real-time application security and detection (ADR).
• New techniques for measuring risk and building resilient applications.

Fighting Misinformation and Fraud in a Deepfake Era

Adam Shearn, Solutions Engineer, UK, Pindrop

AI-powered voice fraud is a major cybersecurity threat. Pindrop will show how criminals use synthetic voices to bypass authentication, demonstrate real attacks, and present solutions to detect and combat this threat. It's time to rethink voice security in the AI era.

Attendees will learn:

• AI is changing the way we see and hear information. With the rise of deepfakes, so does misinformation and fraud.
• The human ear can detect synthetic voice only 60% of the time. How do we close the 40% gap?
• Learn how deepfakes are becoming more sophisticated and how “good AI” needs to be ready to combat “bad AI”.

The Ever-Evolving Threat Landscape: Staying Ahead of Adversaries

Craig Hinchliffe, Regional Sales Engineer, Crowdstrike

Cyber adversaries are evolving rapidly, using sophisticated techniques to breach organisations faster than ever. With breakout times shrinking, security teams have minimal time to detect and respond before damage occurs. To stay ahead, businesses need real-time visibility, proactive intelligence, and AI-powered detection to outpace modern threats.

Join CrowdStrike as we dive into the latest intelligence on how adversaries operate and, more importantly, how to stop them before they gain a foothold in your environment.

Attendees will learn:

• How to identify unknown risks and exposures in real time – Attackers are constantly probing for vulnerabilities, whether in external-facing assets or within cloud environments. Learn how to map and mitigate risks before they become entry points for intrusion.
• Falcon Shield: What is it? Why is it important? And why now? – Discover how CrowdStrike Falcon Shield is redefining proactive defence, offering real-time attack surface monitoring and automated threat disruption to keep organisations secure against evolving threats.
• Leveraging AI-powered detection and response to disrupt adversaries faster – With AI-driven detection and intelligence-led response, security teams can move from reactive to proactive defence, neutralising threats before they escalate into full-blown incidents.

B2B(2X) Under Siege: The Billion-Dollar Economy You Are Funding

Rob Otto, EMEA Field CTO, Ping Identity

In the era of B2B(2X), where organisations must seamlessly connect with customers, partners, and suppliers, identity must be treated as the new security perimeter. Traditional authentication methods are failing, leaving businesses exposed to costly breaches, operational disruption, and reputational damage. Security leaders must rethink identity strategies to stay ahead. This session will break down the latest innovations in identity security—so you can eliminate threats before they strike, enable frictionless user experiences, and future-proof your organisation against the competition. If you think MFA is enough, think again. Identity is your first line of defense, how will you ensure it's built to win?

Attendees will learn:

• B2B(2X) at Risk – How stolen credentials and third-party access create new vulnerabilities in extended business ecosystems.
• AI-Powered Fraud is Here – How attackers are using automation to bypass traditional identity defenses.

Attendees will learn:

• What you need to understand about data removal claims and ethical practices.
• How vendors are reporting on efforts and obfuscating actual results.

Connecting Data Security to the Identity Fabric

Dave Philpotts, Sales Engineer, Varonis

Data and access events are tied intrinsically to identity. Security teams monitor data access and administration by focusing on the “who?” of an action, including non-human identities like machine and service accounts. That’s why effective data security platforms must intrinsically incorporate the identity context, otherwise known as the identity fabric. 

Attendees will learn:

• How cyberattacks start with an identity exploit and end with data compromise.
• Why identity posture is important for data security.
• Where ITDR can stop breaches before it's too late.
• What measures to take in integrating identity and data.

In 2025 we’re already seeing an increase in AI-driven attacks, alongside the hidden risks of cloud adoption and ever-present insider threats. It's becoming harder than ever to ensure your data is secure. In this session, we’ll explore how a data-centric, identity-first approach, combined with automation and DSPM, can advance your security posture and help your organisation stay ahead of these emerging threats. We’ll share the security playbook created from conversations with top CISOs and other cybersecurity leaders across manufacturing, finance, and other industries.

Attendees will learn:

• Discover where top CISOs are focusing their efforts in 2025.
