As artificial intelligence transforms both offensive and defensive security, organisations face growing challenges across AI governance, cloud transformation, identity protection and enterprise cyber resilience. The event will explore how organisations can manage emerging AI-related risks, strengthen security controls and adopt proactive approaches to vulnerability management.
Hosted by Chillisoft, CybersecCon 2026 provides a platform for the cybersecurity community to share expertise, exchange ideas and explore the technologies and strategies needed to address tomorrow’s threats.
Registration is free thanks to the event sponsors. Keynote speakers include Tony Allwood and Sarah Penman. See the official programme and registration page for details.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, organisations need security strategies that go beyond reacting to incidents and addressing vulnerabilities after they emerge. A proactive approach combines effective governance, strong identity and access controls, continuous risk assessment and security operations aligned with business priorities.
Artificial intelligence introduces both new opportunities for defence and new risks that organisations must understand and manage. Establishing appropriate AI governance, implementing effective security controls and maintaining visibility across increasingly complex digital environments are becoming essential to modern cyber resilience.
CybersecCon 2026 will bring together industry expertise and practical perspectives to explore how organisations can strengthen their security posture, prioritise business-critical risks and build more resilient security operations. Through presentations, expert panels and workshops, attendees can explore strategies for managing emerging threats and preparing for the next generation of cybersecurity challenges.
