Executive Summit

As enforcement of NIS2 intensifies and the EU AI Act reshapes compliance expectations, CISOs face an overwhelming volume of security alerts and emerging threats driven by intelligent automation. Addressing every vulnerability is no longer feasible; instead, resilience depends on targeting critical intersections across hybrid infrastructure.

Join this session to explore:

• Data-driven approaches for prioritising security investments at key “choke points”
• Strategies for shifting from reactive patch management to proactive, exposure-centric risk reduction
• Practical guidance for meeting regulatory demands and ensuring business continuity in multi-cloud, intelligent environments

As organisations accelerate digital transformation and cloud adoption, IT and security leaders face a new paradox: how to unlock the agility and efficiency of hybrid and multi-cloud environments while maintaining uncompromised data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and cyber resilience.

Join this session/boardroom to discuss:

• Navigating complex compliance demands to enable agile, secure cloud adoption without hindering innovation
• Building resilience and achieving definitive, immutable data protection and orchestrated recovery across all environments
• Strategies to eliminate blind spots and ensure continuous discovery, classification, and protection of critical data (structured and unstructured)

As AI adoption grows, IT & security leaders must ensure these technologies deliver measurable value while minimising risk. In today’s evolving GenAI landscape, CISOs and CIOs face a key question: How can we evaluate the real-world impact of AI on our security posture?

Join this session to discuss:

• Defining success and aligning AI initiatives with risk reduction
• Practical frameworks and metrics to translate AI performance into business outcomes
• Approaches for monitoring and reducing data exposure incidents related to GenAI

AI is now a board-level priority - and a board-level risk. When exposure becomes unclear, organisations often resort to temporary measures such as blanket blocking, emergency funding motions, and ad hoc decision-making. Executives need a practical blueprint that defines decision rights, enables measured adoption, and demonstrates that AI risk is being actively managed rather than deferred. A Zero Trust approach across internet access, AI applications, SaaS, and private applications supports continuous AI Red Teaming and secure access plus runtime guardrails to translate governance into enforceable controls.

Join this session to discuss:

• Establishing decision rights and an operating blueprint that aligns business strategy, IT enablement, and risk governance
• Using continuous AI Red Teaming to inform prioritization, funding, and remediation with evidence rather than assumption
• Replacing stopgap blocking with measurable guardrails and reporting that executive sponsors and boards can evaluate with confidence

As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, CIOs and CISOs must move beyond technical defences to address the human element. With a multi-generational workforce, building security awareness means empowering every individual—regardless of age or experience — to recognise risks both at work and in their personal lives. 

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Translating complex cyber risks into clear, actionable messages for all employees
• Encouraging a culture where everyone protects their own data and helps secure the organisation
• Leaning into risk‑centric awareness to drive responsible digital behavior across generations

CIOs must embrace strategic shifts to stay ahead—adapting to economic uncertainty, resource constraints, and fast-changing digital demands. Success now depends on reimagining technology’s role across the enterprise.

Join this boardroom session to discuss:

• Addressing digital sovereignty amid geopolitical tensions
• Reprioritising and rationalising technology portfolios
• Positioning AI as an operating layer, not just a tool

Evolving regulations like NIS2 and DORA are raising the bar for CISOs, shifting focus from compliance to meaningful security outcomes. Now comes the delivery part: leaders can use lessons learnt from recent regulatory compliance journeys to drive resilience, investment, and influence across the organisation, beyond the compliance obligations.

Join this session to discuss:

• Aligning strategy with the world’s most prescriptive regulations
• Engaging executives on bridging gaps and seizing opportunity
• Preparing policy and culture for rapid regulatory evolution

As organisations advance beyond pilots, AI is reshaping how technology and business processes are designed, delivered, and evolved. To unlock measurable impact, scale and trust, modern enterprises must rethink operating models so platforms, data, people and governance work in harmony. This places new responsibility on IT – and the CIO – to guide the integration of AI across end-to-end business operations, ensuring value creation, resilience and adaptability throughout organisational change.

Join Giuseppe Amoroso, Head of Global ICT at Enel as he shares his insights and experience on:

• Modernising business processes for AI readiness and enterprise-wide adoption
• Moving beyond isolated use cases to achieve meaningful transformation at scale
• Orchestrating platforms, data, people and governance to safely scale AI
