Cyber: The evolving intersection of risk and resilience

Thursday 1 October 2026 I 08:30 – 10:15 I In-person

Cyber risk is evolving rapidly, driven by AI, geopolitical instability, quantum computing and increasing dependence on interconnected technology ecosystems. These developments are creating more complex and potentially systemic financial, operational and reputational risks.

For boards and senior leaders, the challenge is no longer just preventing cyber-attacks, but understanding how to reduce the likelihood of major incidents, limit their impact and ensure critical services can continue or recover quickly. This growing intersection of cyber risk and organisational resilience is the focus of this session.
