Cybersecurity is no longer just about protecting systems, identities, and data.
As AI, automation, critical infrastructure, cloud platforms, and global supply chains become increasingly interconnected, security, resilience, and sovereignty are converging into a single challenge: maintaining the ability to act when dependencies fail, change, or come under pressure.
Drawing on insights from Black Hat and DEF CON, this keynote explores how the attack surface is expanding beyond technology into trust, dependency, autonomy, and decision-making itself. From critical infrastructure and supply chains to undersea cables, compute concentration, and hybrid cyber operations, the session examines how modern cyber incidents increasingly create operational, economic, and strategic effects.
Attendees will gain a new perspective on resilience, sovereignty, and agency in a world where digital capabilities depend on infrastructures and ecosystems that few organizations fully control.

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?
