Securing the New Non-Human Workforce: AI Agents and Machine Identities in Law Enforcement

Law enforcement agencies increasingly rely on AI-driven systems and machine identities—ranging from automated surveillance to digital case management tools. These “non-human actors” can outnumber human operators, raising new security, accountability, and governance challenges.

  • Managing the identity lifecycle of AI agents and automated systems while meeting national and EU data protection requirements (GDPR/Swedish regulations). 
  • Securing automated processes—such as predictive policing systems or automated reporting pipelines—against misuse, tampering, or insider threats. 
  • Embedding governance, auditability, and compliance into AI deployment from design to operations.

Purple Room

12:10 Securing AI at Scale: Governance That Enables Innovation

Explore how leading enterprises implement secure, scalable AI pipelines without slowing adoption. Hear from in-house security leaders who balance governance with operational agility.

  • Best practices for AI agent oversight, runtime controls, and auditability.
  • Balancing security, compliance, and speed in enterprise AI deployments.
  • Lessons learned from scaling AI safely across multiple business units.
  • Preparing for upcoming regulatory guidance and identity management trends.

    Speaker: Jesper Rellme, Manager Solutions Engineering, Wiz


Blue Room

12:10 Beyond Awareness: The Deep Framework for the next Evolution of Security & Human Risk Management platform in the current reality

For too long, security has relied on expensive, ineffective annual training that addresses a knowledge problem when it should be focused on a behavioral challenge. This results in the human being the enterprise's most valuable, yet most frequently targeted, asset. This session pivots the conversation from the static Awareness Plateau to measurable, strategic risk reduction. 

We will introduce the next era of organisational defense: Workforce Trust Management (WTM), a framework essential for securing your newly hybrid organization—the diverse combination of humans, bots, and AI agents. Learn how to quantify this hybrid risk, apply behavioral science to build a positive, shame-free security culture, and implement the actionable DEEP Framework (Defend, Educate, Empower, Protect) to move your program from expensive compliance to strategic, business-aligned intelligence.

Speaker: Javvad Malik, Lead Security Awareness CISO, KnowBe4

Balancing Compliance, Regulation, and Operational Efficiency in Public Security

Law enforcement and municipal IT departments must navigate strict regulatory frameworks without slowing mission-critical operations. This session explores strategies for ensuring compliance while maintaining agility.

  • Aligning IT, security, risk management, and HR to meet evolving legal and operational requirements in policing and municipal services. 
  • Transitioning from static, checklist-based compliance to continuous, automated assurance that scales across agencies. 
  • Avoiding bottlenecks in digital transformation and AI adoption while staying accountable to Swedish and EU regulations.

Building Cyber Resilience in the Age of AI: Awareness, Collaboration, and Workforce Constraints

As organisations accelerate digital transformation and AI adoption, they face a rapidly evolving threat landscape alongside persistent talent shortages. This session explores how private sector organisations can strengthen cyber resilience through improved awareness, smarter collaboration, and more effective use of limited resources—while drawing on insights from law enforcement partnerships.

  • Adopting AI securely and measuring ROI
    Strategies for implementing AI in a way that delivers business value while managing risk, including practical approaches to measuring ROI and aligning AI initiatives with security objectives.
  • The evolving threat landscape: AI-driven attacks and insider risk
    Understanding how attackers are leveraging AI agents and automation, and how insider threats are shifting with the misuse of AI tools—along with techniques to detect and respond to these emerging risks.
  • Maximising limited cyber talent and resources
    Approaches to upskilling, cross-training, and augmenting teams to address workforce gaps, including the role of automation and managed services.
  • Enhancing real-time awareness and incident response
    Building better situational awareness through integrated security operations, intelligence sharing, and coordinated response across business units and external partners.
  • Strengthening public-private collaboration
    How private organisations can effectively collaborate with law enforcement and industry peers for threat intelligence, disruption of cybercrime, and improved operational readiness.

    Make Your Business a Hard Target for Cybercriminals

    When it comes to potential targets for cyberattacks, easier to breach means more likely to fall victim. While you might not be able to influence your perceived value, there are changes that can eliminate your organization from being seen as an easy target. We’ll explore practical tactics to reduce your surface area of attack and controls to prevent lateral movement should a breach occur.
