This session explores the AI readiness gap and shares practical strategies for driving adoption, enabling responsible use at scale, and maximising return on AI investment (ROAI) across the organisation.

The latest Oh, Behave! report reveals how cybersecurity behaviours are changing worldwide. We explore AI-related information sharing, deepfake scams, generational differences and the growing gap between awareness and action, with insights from the UK, US, India, Brazil and Singapore.

Security teams face growing pressure from limited resources, expanding toolsets and increasingly sophisticated threats. We explore practical ways to improve visibility, strengthen threat detection, protect data and automate response, helping organisations stay ahead of attacks without adding complexity.

Protecting corporate data without taking over someone's personal device is the balance every BYOD programme has to find, and it's easy to get wrong. We run our own, and this session covers the calls we got right, the ones we didn't, and what we chose not to collect and why

Non-human identities now outnumber human users in many organisations, creating one of today's fastest-growing cyber risks. We discover how AI agents, APIs, service accounts, and machine identities can introduce hidden vulnerabilities, and learn practical strategies to improve visibility, governance, and control across your digital workforce.

Security awareness metrics often measure activity rather than outcomes. We explore how Secure Behaviour Management combines competencies, behavioural insights and phishing intelligence to provide a clearer view of workforce readiness and phishing defence effectiveness.
