AI Changed the Cyber Rules. Are You Ready?

AI, Risk & Responsibility: Emerging Threats, Board Accountability and the New Rules of Cyber Risk

Sponsored by CyberOne

AI isn't waiting for anyone's governance framework to catch up. It's rewriting how organisations operate, how attackers strike, and what boards will be held accountable for when things go wrong.

Join us for an afternoon that cuts through the hype and gets to what actually matters. We'll open with a presentation from our headline sponsor, CyberOne, on the fast-shifting overlap between AI and cyber risk, before handing over to an expert panel for an open, no-nonsense discussion around three big questions:

The Opportunity: where AI is delivering real value for defenders and the business, and where it's mostly a shiny slide deck.

The Threat: how attackers are already weaponising AI, from autonomous attack patterns to the risks organisations create for themselves by rushing to adopt it.

The Response: what good governance looks like now, and why cyber risk has firmly landed on the boardroom table.

SPEAKER: Philip Ridley - Director of Cyber Risk Management

Philip is a seasoned Cyber Security Leader with over 20 years of experience in incident response, risk management and security operations. A member of the CREST Council, he brings deep industry expertise and strategic insight to advancing cyber security standards and best practice.

Whether you're a CISO, security leader, technologist, board member or simply trying to work out who owns AI risk in your organisation (spoiler: it might be you), you'll leave with sharper thinking, a few challenged assumptions and some very useful new connections.

Light refreshments will be served, and the conversation carries on afterwards at the MK Social, just over the road.
