ISMG Summits bring the foremost thought leaders and educators in the security space to the stage and knowledge sharing discussions. Hear what is on the minds of leading security experts as they share insights and challenges of the ever-evolving threat landscape.
The session will delve into the real-world attaches and the challenges that these CISOs faced during significant ransomware incidents, exploring how they discovered and responded to attacks, managed crises, and communicated with stakeholders.
Key Topics:
Moderated by Ian Thornton Trump, CISO, Cyjax
Jon Staniforth, Former CISO, Royal Mail
Heather Lowrie, Former CISO, University of Manchester
With Identity compromise common to almost every cyber-attack, distinguishing between how a legitimate user is leveraging an identity and the misuse of that identity by an unauthorized user is difficult. This leaves the door open for threat actors to use impersonated identities to access resources, compromise systems, move laterally and achieve their illicit objectives. Today this is effectively making identity the new security perimeter.
Join the discussion with James as he shares what is driving this paradigm shift, and how attackers are successfully exploiting the gaps in visibility between IAM and security tools.
You will hear:
• How the threat landscape is evolving
• Real world examples of identity breaches
• How attackers are exploiting hidden paths to privilege
• How controlling identities and privileges can be your greatest defense
James Maude, Field Chief Technology Officer, BeyondTrust
Ian Thornton-Trump, CISO, Cyjax
Milos Pesic, CISO, ABB Accelleron
Adam Wedgbury, Head of Enterprise Security Architecture, Airbus
Ash Hunt, Global CISO, APEX Group
This panel discussion will explore how cybercriminals are leveraging AI to conduct sophisticated attacks, such as automated phishing, deepfake generation, and AI-driven malware. Recent incidents, including the AI-powered spear-phishing attack against Metro Bank and the deepfake fraud targeting German energy firm RWE, highlight the pressing need for advanced defenses. We will examine these real-world cases, discuss their implications for UK organizations, and provide strategies for mitigating these advanced threats.
Join us to gain a deeper understanding of the evolving threat landscape and to equip your organization with the knowledge to stay ahead of AI-powered cyber threats. We will dissect specific AI-driven attacks, analyzing the methodologies used by cybercriminals and offering insights on how to bolster your cybersecurity posture against such advanced tactics.

So it’s no surprise they’re increasingly embracing practices and approaches to help them better lock down their networks to minimize the impact of a successful attack. Cyber insurance is also part of many organizations’ risk-mitigation strategy. But the continuing success of ransomware as a criminal business model has led to a surge in premiums and insurers demanding more robust defenses from prospective policyholders. Accordingly, how can CISOs ensure they employ the right defenses? What “must have” capabilities are cyber insurers demanding? What is the role of multi-factor authentication, microsegmentation, secure web gateways and zero trust network access? This session will provide answers to these and other critical questions.
DISCUSSION POINTS
In this presentation we will explore the specific challenges around operational security, SOC resources and welfare and the regulatory landscape, and how these challenges can be met head on through automation, collaboration and greater speed of investigation.
Steve Jackson, Senior Vice President of Growth, Binalyze
Recent incidents such as the 2024 breach of the UK Ministry of Defence, which involved a third-party payroll system managed by SSCL, highlight the significant risks posed by third-party software providers. This breach exposed personal data of nearly 270,000 current and former staff, underscoring the necessity for rigorous supply chain security and the adoption of comprehensive risk management frameworks. In joining the discussion, attendees will acquire actionable strategies to fortify their supply chains against emerging threats and ensure no stone is left unturned in their risk management strategy.
Key Points:
Brian Brackenborough, CISO, Channel 4
Organisations must adapt their cyber resilience and cyber security strategies to ensure their critical business operations remain uninterrupted when the worst-case scenario occurs.
This session, “Predictive Resilience with AI: Safeguarding Critical Business Operations,” will explore how businesses can leverage the very latest technology capabilities (many of which are already embedded into existing operations and services eco-systems) to not only respond to threats in real-time but also predict and mitigate operational risks proactively.
Join us as we delve into the transformative role of artificial intelligence in enhancing cyber resilience. Discover how AI-driven insights can help organisations understand their current resilience posture, predict likely points of failure, and integrate seamlessly with existing security platforms to combat the threats we’re now facing to our critical business operations.
Key topics include:
• The integration of AI with data-at-rest solutions to provide deeper insights and predictive capabilities.
• Strategies for maintaining continuous business operations amidst rising cyber threats.
• Approaches for the successful application of AI in predicting and mitigating cyber risks.
• Collaborative approaches to building a resilient security ecosystem that leverages the strengths of AI and existing cybersecurity tools.
By attending this event, you will gain valuable knowledge on leveraging AI for predictive resilience, ensuring that your organisation can withstand and quickly recover from cyber incidents, to maintain operational continuity in an increasingly hostile digital landscape.
Richard Cassidy, EMEA CISO, Rubrik
This session will delve into the benefits of automated threat profiling, exploring why it is crucial and the challenges it presents. Attendees will learn how to prioritize threat actors and malware more dynamically and in real-time, and discover methods to operationalize the output to further protect their organizations. Join us for an in-depth discussion with experts who will share their insights and strategies for leveraging automated threat profiling to enhance cybersecurity defenses.
Key Discussion Points:
– Benefits of Automated Threat Profiling: Understanding why automated threat profiling is crucial for modern cybersecurity and the challenges it presents.
– Dynamic Prioritization: Exploring methods to prioritize threat actors and malware dynamically and in real-time to stay ahead of evolving threats.
– Operationalizing Threat Profiling: Discussing how to effectively operationalize the output of automated threat profiling to enhance organizational protection and response strategies.
