In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, strategies such as ethical hacking, threat intelligence and red teaming are not just buzzwords - they're essential tools for safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining business continuity.

We will be joined by:

Sandeep has over 18 years of experience supporting clients with large scale security engagements. He will highlight the challenges that cyber security teams are facing as threats become smarter, and how we can empower resilience from within.

A panel of experts – We will hear first-hand from the Head of Tech Policy at the ICAEW, Esther Mallowah, as well as other experts in ethical hacking about the types of attacks they are truly concerned about – and how we can stay one step ahead of malicious actors who are using AI to disrupt the market.
