Nobody Reads 40,000 Vulnerability Findings

Gerardo Prieto MessemerTech OÜ CISO Speaker

#HumanInTheLoop, #Remediation

2026-11-03 16:30 2026-11-03 17:00 Europe/Madrid Nobody Reads 40,000 Vulnerability Findings Handing the backlog to a chain of AI agents — and knowing when to stop and ask a human. Detection was never the bottleneck. Triage, ownership, chasing and retesting are. This session walks through an agentic pipeline that takes a finding — whether it came from a cloud scanner, a SAST tool, an endpoint agent or a pentest report — all the way to a verified fix. Contextual severity scoring, one agent independently checking another's work, and the hard part: knowing when the automation is confident and when a human still has to decide. Networking Hub

2026-11-03 15:10 2026-11-03 15:40 Europe/Madrid The confidence gap: Securing what changes faster than you can test

Security leaders face a difficult reality: applications, infrastructure, APIs, and attack surfaces are changing faster than traditional security programs can validate them.

While annual and periodic testing still provide value, they were never designed for environments shaped by AI-powered development, continuous deployment, and rapidly evolving threats. The result is a growing confidence gap between perceived security and actual exposure.

So how do organizations determine what to test, when to test it, and where to focus their efforts as the environment continuously changes?

In this session, we'll explore the shift from static testing programs to continuous, risk-based validation strategies that enable teams to identify exploitable risk, prioritize what matters most, and validate security as their attack surface evolves. We'll examine the role of automation, human expertise, and continuous exposure assessment in helping organizations move from reactive testing to continuous confidence.

Join us to see how modern security teams are adapting their validation strategies to keep pace with change and make better security decisions in an increasingly dynamic risk landscape.

Your agents will inherit your blind spots: Context before autonomy in the integrated SOC

Charalambos Ioannides ClearSkies™ Sales Engineering Manager Speaker

2026-11-03 11:20 2026-11-03 11:50 Europe/Madrid Your agents will inherit your blind spots: Context before autonomy in the integrated SOC

Every agentic SOC demo works, because every demo environment has perfect context. Yours does not. An alert carries almost none of what is needed to judge it: who the identity is, how critical the asset is, what depends on it, whether a change window is open. Analysts assemble that context by asking people. An agent has nobody to ask, and when context is missing it does not stop, it reasons around the gap and answers confidently anyway.

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.

Agentic AI in Production: What Works and What Doesn’t in a Real SOC

Erik Alejos Agustí Fundació “la Caixa” CISO Speaker

Ángela Martijena Di Monte Var Group Iberia Head of Cyber Defence Speaker

2026-11-04 14:35 2026-11-04 15:05 Europe/Madrid Agentic AI in Production: What Works and What Doesn’t in a Real SOC

The evolution of the SOC is no longer just about increasing automation, but about improving decision-making and prioritising alerts according to actual business risk.

This session presents a real-world use case from Fundació “la Caixa”, whose 24/7 Follow-the-Sun SOC operates across Spain, Thailand and Mexico. Building on existing SIEM/SOAR automation, the organisation is exploring agentic AI capabilities using Devo and Strike AI 48 to support alert triage, enrichment and initial analysis.

The goal is to reduce analysts’ workload, improve response times and ensure more consistent risk-based prioritisation, while keeping human judgement at the centre. Preliminary results show improvements in triage time, analytical consistency and escalation processes. The session will also address key challenges, including agent governance, context quality and the need for human oversight.

Co-presented with Erik Alejos, Security Manager at Fundació “la Caixa”, this session shares practical lessons, benefits and limitations from a real-world implementation, with no commercial focus.

Your AI Agents Can Act Without You: Can You See Them, Control Them and Stop Them?

Arvin Bansal C&S Wholesale Grocers CISO Speaker

2026-11-04 11:55 2026-11-04 12:25 Europe/Madrid Your AI Agents Can Act Without You: Can You See Them, Control Them and Stop Them?

Enterprise AI has crossed a line. The first wave advised people. Agentic AI can now use credentials, call APIs, access sensitive data and change business systems at machine speed.

Before you scale it, can you answer: How many agents are running? Who owns them? What can they access and change? Can an agent exceed the authority of the human it serves? Can you prove what an agent actually did? And if one is compromised or manipulated, can you stop it before it becomes a business incident?

Drawing on practical experience building an enterprise AI security strategy, Arvin Bansal will show how to move from AI policy to production control using TRACE: Track, Register, Approve, Certify and Expose. He will connect board risk to agent identity, permission inheritance, data protection, gateways, behavioral monitoring, forensic traceability and kill switches, showing how security can accelerate agentic transformation without surrendering control.

2026-11-04 10:05 2026-11-04 10:40 Europe/Madrid Sovereign Cyber AI: Beyond the obvious Sovereign AI usually raises three concerns: where the data resides, what the regulator will ask, and a geopolitically induced coma. Those are the obvious ones. The harder questions are who can alter your AI, whether your defenders can live without it, and one rarely asked: how far an attacker can steer it without ever touching it. Drawing on real-world initiatives, this session sets out a reference architecture for Sovereign Cyber AI and its value-realisation model. Existing standards stop short of this, and closing the gap is our job as a community. The safeguards we settle on now are what the next generation inherits. Auditorium I

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.

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.

2026-11-05 10:45 2026-11-05 11:15 Europe/Madrid Who governs the agents? Identity governance in the age of agentic AI AI agents are rapidly becoming autonomous actors within the enterprise: accessing applications, consuming APIs, handling data and making decisions on behalf of humans and organisations. But who owns these identities? Who grants their access, certifies their permissions and removes them when they are no longer needed? This session explores why Agentic AI requires us to extend Identity Governance beyond the human workforce. We will examine how AI agents can be discovered, assigned ownership, governed throughout their lifecycle and linked to the permissions they accumulate across cloud and enterprise environments. The goal is simple: enable organisations to embrace Agentic AI without losing control of who - or what - has access to what, why, and on whose behalf. Auditorium I

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?
