Registration & Networking Breakfast

- 11:00AM
Panel: Strategic Alliances in Action - Stronger Together

Break
- 12:00PM
Agentic Collaboration Security: How AI Will Redefine How We Protect Humans & AI
AI is accelerating attacks, overwhelming defences built for human-paced threats. This session shows why agentic collaboration security is essential to scale protection across email, messaging, SaaS, and identities, using AI agents to detect, prioritise, explain, and respond autonomously before risk spreads across your organisation.
- 12:30PM
AI Changes the Rules: Protect and Govern Data Across Every Risk and Channel
Data security and governance are urgent, but AI has outpaced most programs. Shadow AI, Copilot oversharing, and data sprawl are expanding exposure faster than security. Learn how to unify data posture, loss prevention, insider risk, AI data protection, and communications governance, and govern data wherever it lives, moves, or is communicated.
- 1:00PM
Power Series Live: The Future of Cyber Risk in the Age of AI
AI is reshaping how threats target people, data, and identities, creating new risks that demand new defences. Join Proofpoint experts and security leaders as they discuss emerging human-centric and agentic threats, evolving governance strategies, and what the future of targeted and opportunistic exploitation means for organisations.
