In a world where cyber threats are evolving at an unprecedented pace, the traditional perimeter-based security models are no longer sufficient. Zero-Trust Architecture (ZTA) offers a transformative approach to modern security, shifting the focus from trusted networks to continuous verification of every user, device, and connection. How Zero-Trust is redefining the digital landscape, ensuring that security is embedded in every layer of access control, data exchange, and operational integrity? It’s a call for organisations to adopt a proactive defence mechanism in an increasingly borderless digital environment.

  • Trust no one, verify everything: The shift from perimeter security. How does ZTA enforces the principle of “never trust, always verify,” ensuring each access request is authenticated and authorised regardless of location?
  • How does Zero-Trust dynamically adapt to changing threat landscapes by constantly validating credentials and access points?

While the advantages and drawbacks of Zero Trust solutions have been widely debated, the greatest challenge lies in shifting the mindset of users. Educating individuals on adopting the Zero Trust approach is far more crucial than merely deploying the technology itself. The success of Zero Trust strategies hinges on effectively translating the concept into tangible business value.

  • The Future of Zero Trust with Advanced Technologies and AI: As technology evolves, particularly with advancements in artificial intelligence, the Zero Trust framework will continue to evolve. AI will play a pivotal role in enhancing security through dynamic, real-time verification processes, automating threat detection, and responding to potential risks in a smarter, more adaptive manner.
  • What Does “Always Verify, Never Trust” Mean? At the core of Zero Trust is the principle that no entity, whether inside or outside the network, should ever be trusted by default. Every access attempt must be continuously verified. This proactive stance ensures that the network remains secure, requiring constant authentication and validation of users, devices, and data before granting access.
  • Zero Trust in the Cybersecurity Landscape: In cybersecurity, the Zero Trust model marks a paradigm shift from traditional perimeter-based defences. Instead of assuming that entities within the network are safe, Zero Trust operates under the assumption that threats can exist both inside and outside. This approach minimises risk by enforcing strict access controls, continuous monitoring, and verification at every step, ensuring a more resilient and secure environment.

Zero Trust is a forward-thinking cybersecurity approach that abandons the outdated perimeter-based security mindset. It assumes that no user or device—inside or outside an organization’s network—should be trusted by default. As remote work, cloud adoption, and advanced cyber threats become the norm, Zero Trust delivers a resilient strategy for reducing risk, managing access, and validating identity at every step. Its guiding principle is simple: trust nothing, verify everything.

  • Continuous verification: Every access request is fully authenticated, authorized, and encrypted, regardless of origin or location.
  • Least privilege access: Limit access strictly to what users and devices need, minimizing potential damage from compromised accounts or systems.
  • Assume breach mentality: Zero Trust operates under the assumption that breaches will occur, focusing on containment, visibility, and rapid response rather than only prevention.

As cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated and stealthy, MDR has emerged as a preferred solution for organizations seeking 24x7 threat detection and incident response. However, not all MDR services are created equal; some fail to provide real, actionable outcomes and improvement.

 

This roundtable will explore the reality behind MDR offerings, what’s working, what’s marketing fluff, and how organizations can cut through the noise to find actual value. We’ll also explore how to evaluate MDR effectiveness, what is required from the customer, and what metrics matter when measuring success.

 

With real-world insights, peer experiences, and challenging questions on the table, this session will help you rethink how MDR fits into your broader security strategy.

 

  • What does “effective MDR” actually look like in practice?
  • How can you tell if your MDR provider is truly improving your security posture?
  • What questions should you ask before choosing or renewing an MDR contract?
  • What role does the customer play in ensuring MDR success — and what does effective collaboration look like?

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) came into full effect on January 17, 2025, ushering in a new era of stringent cybersecurity and operational resilience requirements for financial institutions and their technology providers operating in the EU. So now what? 

Non-compliance isn’t just risky—it has real regulatory and business consequences, including mandatory contract termination for non-compliant ICT vendors.

But achieving DORA compliance across today’s sprawling, complex infrastructure is no small feat. From on-prem data centers to cloud-native environments and dynamic DevOps pipelines, financial organizations and ICT providers alike face an uphill battle: securing every access point, ensuring continuous monitoring, and maintaining productivity without compromise.

  • Eliminate credentials and standing privileges to reduce unauthorized access risks
  • Implement dynamic, least-privilege access controls with short-lived certificates
  • Gain real-time visibility, auditing, and automated incident response
  • Support operational continuity while boosting developer productivity
  • Align with DORA’s five-pillar ICT risk framework

Today, security teams want to cover everything across their digital attack surface. But knowing what you’re exposing and what you should be scanning remains a challenge. You’re covering your core web apps, but if you were asked today, "What other apps should we be covering?" The answer is often, "I'm not sure." Why is that? Because always knowing the right targets to scan and why you should scan them is unlikely for any individual or even an entire security team. But does it have to be this way?

Join our table where we will tackle this challenge head-on with a hacker's mindset.

Questions we’ll cover:

  • How does your organization select targets to scan?
  • What are the factors you consider when selecting targets to scan?
  • How do you work with vendors to help you figure out what to scan?
  • How do you see these challenges evolving with AI tools becoming more involved in AppSec?

Folks who come to our table will get insights into:

  • Why attackers don’t care about what you think is exposed, they care about the apps you miss. How diving into the signals – like the presence of JS libs, cookie consent, specific headers, or analytics, PII data – can reveal hidden web applications that you may not be aware of.
  • How it’s possible to keep an eye on everything you’re exposing, all while knowing when you should be taking a closer look at an application that you didn’t know about that could be hacked. You can go from just knowing your top 10 apps to knowing everything.

Go Hack Yourself.

As digital ecosystems grow, fragmented B2B connections creates security gaps, compliance risks, and poor user experiences. Siloed solutions lack scalability, interoperability, and trust across partners and suppliers.
