Panel Discussion
AI on the Battlefield: Who Wins – Attackers or Defenders?
AI is no longer just a tool for innovation: it’s a double-edged sword in cybersecurity. While defenders leverage AI to detect threats faster, automate responses, and predict attacks, adversaries are equally harnessing AI for sophisticated phishing, evasion, and autonomous attacks. This panel dives into the dual-use nature of AI in cybersecurity, exploring whether the advantage lies with attackers, defenders, or if the outcome depends on strategy, governance, and ethical use.

What Does Winning in Cyber Strategy Look Like Tomorrow
Cyber has never stood still—but have we truly evolved, or just found fancier ways to fight the same old battles? In this lively, no-holds-barred closing conversation, we bring together leading voices to unpack the wins, the missteps, and the myths shaping tomorrow’s strategy.

Together, they’ll dig into questions like:
- What’s genuinely changed in the cyber playbook over the last two years - and what’s just been rebranded with shinier buzzwords?
- What strategy completely flopped, and what was the one lesson you wish you’d learned sooner?
- Where do organisations desperately need a “back to basics” reset - and where is it time to stop tinkering and start taking moonshots?
- If you had to put a stake in the ground today: what’s the defining marker of a great cyber strategy in 2026?
