Building Trust in a Breach-Prone World

The world is experiencing a surge in massive, AI-powered data breaches, with nearly 140,000
global leaks reported in January 2026 alone. Experts warn that 2026 will be the “Year of AI” in
cybersecurity, with AI being leveraged to accelerate attack timeliness, create highly realistic
phishing lures, and generate synthetic profiles and deepfakes. Insider threat is also evolving
through AI and remote work. As attacks become faster, more complex, and geopolitically
motivated, the traditional defenses are no longer sufficient. The landscape is shifting towards an
“assume breach” mentality, where organizations must adapt and prepare for sophisticated and
potentially autonomous cyberattacks. With speakers from unique backgrounds, this timely
session will explore the latest cybersecurity threats and advanced strategies to safeguard your
critical information. Our speakers will discuss:
 An overview of cybersecurity attacks and zero trust principles
 New cyber threats presented by insiders and AI
 Best practices to mitigate risks and defend against attacks
