Security Leaders Summit 2026
The event focuses on a full range of IT security issues, with greater emphasis on leadership and decision-making.
Intended for senior security professionals, the program centres on the intersection of strategy and operational practice. It provides a forum for peers to exchange perspectives, examine emerging technologies, and discuss practical approaches to protecting organisational data, systems, and reputation.
Recent, high-profile security incidents underscore the increasing scale and sophistication of cyber threats. While new technologies have lowered barriers for attackers, they have also introduced new defensive capabilities. At the same time, cybersecurity risk exists alongside other pressures facing security leaders, including skills shortages, budget constraints, regulatory change, third-party risk, and complex compliance requirements.
The agenda is structured to address this broader context. Through a combination of keynote sessions, case studies, and panel discussions, the program emphasises applied insight, shared learning, and professional connection.
Overall, the aim is to support senior IT and security professionals by providing relevant information, exposure to current technologies, and opportunities to engage with peers facing similar challenges. Sessions highlight peer-led problem solving, technology evaluation through direct vendor engagement, practical lessons drawn from real-world experience, and discussion of legislative and industry developments shaping the security landscape.
