Roundtable: “Network Pentesting: From Annual Event to Continuous Assurance” Network pentesting is moving from an annual event to continuous assurance. In this roundtable, we’ll discuss what senior IT leaders should ask for: automation with human depth, attack-path testing, and outcomes over reports. • • • •

Liam Lillywhite-Buley Senior Solution Specialist Kasaya

•

The problem: Annual, manual pentests can’t keep pace with attackers. Vulnerability exploitation now starts 31% of breaches, up from 20%. The hackers are the future of security: most security stacks are built on assumptions that they’re working effectively. Until your network and the tools are tested, you won’t know with certainty they can stop. That’s where pentesting comes in. Shift 1, manual to automated: Automation brings scale and frequency, and human experts add depth and judgment. Manual testing is costly and slow, taking two weeks to a month. Shift 2, attack paths: Attackers chain small network weaknesses into serious breaches. Test the routes to your “crown jewels”, not just a list of assets. Shift 3, outcomes: Judge testing by risk reduced, time to fix, retest rate, and repeat findings, not just by findings delivered.

Liam Lillywhite-Buley is the senior sales engineer for pentesting, vulnerability scanning, network risk reporting, and compliance at Kaseya.

Seminars 11.20 – 11.45

Keynote: “From LulzSec to Scattered Spider: How Teenage Hackers Hijack the Internet” Gone is the era of harmless youthful curiosity; teenage hacking is now serious cybercrime fueled by money, fame, or criminal group recruitment. In his book Ctrl+Alt+Chaos, Joe Tidy lifts the lid on the dark underbelly of the internet and youth culture tracking the rise and fall of groups such as LulzSec, HTP, UG Nazi, Lizard Squad, Lapsus$ and Scattered Spider. Join Joe for his keynote which draws parallels with recent high-profile attacks from teenage gangs and asks the question – how can we stop the cycle of teenage boys hijacking life online? • • •

Joe Tidy BBC News Cyber Correspondent & Author

12.35 - 13.00

Teenage hacker profiles - lessons anecdotes and parralells High profile hacks and how Joe investigated and covered them including talking with some of the hackers Lessons for defenders and parents on how to prevent this cycle

With over a decade of experience—spanning Sky News and the BBC—Tidy has been on the front lines of every major global cyberattack, reporting across television, radio, and digital platforms. Joe is the author of Ctrl+Alt+Chaos and the presenter of the BBC’s Cyber Hack: Evil Corp podcast series. His book of Ctrl+Alt+Chaos: How Teenage Hacker Hijack the Internet is out now and investigates the dark side of teen hacking culture and why we are repeatedly failing as a society to address the growing issue of teen cybercrime.

Keynote: “The AI Leadership Agenda: Realising Value Whilst Managing Risk and Governance” AI leadership is no longer about proving what is possible, it is about delivering what is valuable, safely and at scale, The real AI risk is lack of controls on trusted execution. In this discussion, I will share my thoughts on how CIOs must balance innovation with control and risk awareness. Build in governance, security, transparency, and accountability Focus on faster research, analysis and decision-making and use trusted data to embed AI where customers work. Discussion with include: • Creditsafe’ s AI journey so far, how we got there • How we priorities the different initiatives while not stifling innovation • The importance of AI Leadership and governance • What we will do next!

Seminars 13.05 - 13.30

Keynote: “From AI Strategy to Enterprise Reality: Why Adoption Fails (and What Leaders Miss)” Technology is the easy part. AI strategies live and die by how they are adopted, deployed, and exercised every day. Matthew Simon provides practical real life advice on ensuring that your AI strategy works for you and your business goals. • • •

Matthew Wolff Simon COO mAIself

• •

The shift to AI: why the collapse in the cost of building technology means AI adoption now amplifies the old governance gaps and creates entirely new ones. Why “ban it” always backfires: the twenty-year lesson from shadow IT, now playing out as shadow AI: people route around the sanctioned path when it’s slower or worse, and prohibition just drives the behaviour out of sight. The risks leaders are actually governing: data leaving your boundary, the model becoming the attack surface, and agentic systems that spend real money and take real actions, with the controls that contain each. From frameworks to practice: how to use NIST, ISO 42001, and the regulatory map pragmatically. Slice the problem by risk, tackle the highest exposure first, and couple every step to a real deliverable. Why adoption really fails: the reason no framework can fix: accountability gaps and stakeholder resistance. Governance and AI done to people fails; done with them, it sticks. Understand the why, and the controls follow.

Matthew Wolff Simon is co-founder and COO of mAIself and a technology and operations leader with over twenty years building and scaling global organisations. Most recently he built a 250-person engineering centre for Comcast, where he designed the governance framework for AI applications in production and led AI-driven automation across the operation. He has consulted on operating models and reliability for two of the largest US banks, and built capability centres across EMEA and APAC. His work focuses on the human and operational side of AI adoption, because, as he puts it, technology is the easy part; people are the hard part.

14.35 - 15.00

Roundtable: “How can we encourage diverse thinking talent into Tech at all levels?” Challenging ourselves to question the status quo when it comes to diverse thinking in our teams. • • • • •

What comes first? An inclusive environment, or recruiting diverse talent? Should we take different approaches for different levels of seniority and / or roles? Are any types of diverse thinking more important / impactful than others? Are there any differences between tech and other functions / business areas? What 3 things can you takeaway from this discussion that will make a real difference in your organisation?

Seminars 15.05 - 15.30

Roundtable: “Leading Through Continuous Disruption: Preparing the Enterprise for What’s Next” Technology leaders are no longer preparing for a single transformation. They are leading through continuous disruption, where AI, shifting business models, rising expectations and operational pressures are changing faster than traditional planning cycles. This roundtable will explore how enterprises can adapt repeatedly without losing control, trust or delivery focus, and how leaders can balance immediate progress with the long-term resilience, governance and organisational capability needed for whatever comes next. • •
