Bridging the gap: How organizations are building a more secure & resilient future<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

The presentation gives a clear summary of the 2025 cyber risk landscape, focusing on the expansion of cybercrime, the worldwide adoption of cybersecurity practices, and the increased instability caused by geopolitical events and new technologies. Notable trends include the emergence of generative AI, the essential role of identity and access management (IAM), and the growing significance of continuous threat monitoring and organizational resilience. It also addresses evolving regulations such as the European Union\u2019s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2), which aim to reinforce cybersecurity standards for a range of sectors. Achieving cyber resilience requires strong governance, accountability at the senior management level, and strategies to reduce recovery times for essential business functions. Ultimately, this provides practical guidance to help organizations improve their security and resilience.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Taming the AI Act: Build Smart, Not From Scratch<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

The EU AI Act is here \u2014 compliance isn\u2019t optional, but the path forward doesn\u2019t have to be overwhelming. This session cuts through the legal noise to deliver a practical, risk-based roadmap<\/strong> for putting the Act into action. Instead of reinventing the wheel, we show how your existing Privacy and Security programs<\/strong>\u00a0can become the launchpad for AI governance. You’ll learn how to mobilize cross-functional teams<\/strong>, align with suppliers and data owners, and scale without chaos. We also tackle the gaps: what the AI Act misses \u2014 and how forward-thinking organizations can get ahead of what\u2019s coming next.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
