Chasing every agent identity in our organizations doesn't scale. We must implement runtime authorization, which enforces policy at the point of action.

Agents are running on standing credentials issued to people, not to systems. Vault them and replace standing access with just-in-time access.

Assume breach, prepare for recovery: why data resilience is mandatory for business survival

Miguel Tena Martin Object First Field Sales Engineer Speaker

2026-11-03 15:45 2026-11-03 16:15 Europe/Madrid Assume breach, prepare for recovery: why data resilience is mandatory for business survival

Zero Trust teaches us to assume that there’s a breach, but what’s the worst that could happen when there is a breach? And how do you mitigate against that?

Join Miguel Tena, Object First Field Sales Engineer as he discusses why data resilience is critical in the evolving cybersecurity landscape and what that means in practice. Leveraging insights from research on data protection and ransomware trends, Miguel will explore how organisations can prepare for the worst-case scenario: where a cybercriminal has access to all passwords and secrets. Meeting regulatory and cyberinsurance requirements and, ultimately, guaranteeing business survival mean this is no longer ‘just’ an IT topic, it’s a board-level imperative.

The Real Story Behind Zero Trust, Identity, and Device Security. From Identity to Workforce Trust: Securing Workforce Access End-to-End

Darren James Specops Software Senior Product Manager Speaker

#leadership

2026-11-04 12:30 2026-11-04 13:00 Europe/Madrid The Real Story Behind Zero Trust, Identity, and Device Security. From Identity to Workforce Trust: Securing Workforce Access End-to-End

Workforce access has never been more dynamic or more unpredictable. Users connect from anywhere, on devices that shift daily between personal, managed, trusted, and unknown, and security teams are expected to make the right call every time. Identity tells you who is connecting, but today’s environments make it equally critical to understand what they’re connecting with.

Because if you don’t trust the device, you can’t trust the access. This session explores how identity and device trust come together to meet the real access challenges organizations face. Curious how this story shapes the future of secure access in 2026? Join us to find out.

2026-11-04 13:05 2026-11-04 13:55 Europe/Madrid Europe’s cyber resilience & cyber sovereignty: a strategic perspective from Europe’s governmental cybersecurity agencies

Europe is entering a decisive era for cybersecurity. As geopolitical tensions, sophisticated cyber threats, supply-chain dependencies and digital disruption continue to grow, European governments must strengthen their ability to anticipate, withstand and recover from cyber incidents while protecting Europe’s strategic digital autonomy.

This high-level panel brings together senior representatives from the national cybersecurity agencies of Portugal, Spain, Finland and Austria to explore the governmental perspective on European Cyber Resilience and Cyber Sovereignty. The discussion will examine how European nations are translating EU cyber strategies, regulations and resilience frameworks into national capabilities; protecting critical infrastructure and government services; strengthening public-private cooperation; securing strategic technologies and supply chains; and developing greater European sovereignty in an increasingly contested digital environment.

The panel will provide practical insights into Europe’s evolving cybersecurity priorities, cross-border cooperation and the capabilities required to build a more resilient, secure and digitally sovereign Europe.

Okay… so, what next?

2026-11-05 15:45 2026-11-05 16:10 Europe/Madrid Okay… so, what next?

We are at the AI inflection point.

Externally, AI is enabling attackers. Internally, adoption is racing ahead of security, governance, and clarity of ownership. It all feels a bit uncomfortably familiar.

This session draws lessons from yesterday's cyber security as we look to tomorrow. What has worked, what failed, and where can we head next if we want to secure AI without slowing progress.

I’ll look ahead to autonomous SOC operations and a threat landscape shaped by AI-enabled attackers and machine-speed decision making.

AI is changing security. Okay... so, what next?
