Agenda Day 1

9:30 AM Day 1 Opening Panel Discussion – Cyber’s New Perimeter: Securing AI Without Slowing Innovation

AI is reshaping where cyber responsibility begins and ends. Attacks now target prompts, models, and data flows, areas that sit outside traditional controls. As organisations move to secure AI, leaders face real trade-offs between risk reduction and speed. This opening panel surfaces where to draw the line, who owns it, and what's practical today.

• Defining ownership across cyber, data, and engineering teams.

• Balancing security controls with AI deployment speed.

• Identifying priority control points across models, prompts, and data flows.
