    Cybercrime is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, with global costs projected to surge from $10 trillion in 2025 to $13.82 trillion by 2028. AI, once the domain of science fiction, now redefines how both attackers and defenders operate in the digital world. As science fiction author Frank Schätzing states, "AI is no longer controlled by a small group. With the rise of generative AI, every individual has become a potential player – and that changes everything."
    Drawing from recent insights, we have identified six critical trends shaping the cybersecurity landscape: the rapid evolution of AI-driven threats, the rise in multichannel attack strategies, and the growing reliance on third-party providers, among others. Highlights include:
    • 91% of organisations anticipate an increase in AI-based cyberattacks within three years.
    • 94% of organisations report a surge in multichannel attacks, combining email, social media, and other vectors to target vulnerabilities.
    • 83% of firms have already experienced breaches stemming from personal devices or accounts.
    This session offers a glimpse into these trends and their implications, revealing how organisations can prepare for emerging threats and ensure resilience against an increasingly sophisticated cybercrime ecosystem. Join us to explore actionable strategies and prepare for the future of cybersecurity.

    In this session, we’ll confront the hard truth: it's not a matter of "if" your organisation will be breached, but "when." We’ll examine the true impact and timelines of a breach, from detection to recovery, and challenge assumptions about AI’s role in threat response. It’s not about technology stacks; it’s about refining strategies and ensuring you are prepared to recover swiftly and confidently. Remember, AI can assist, but it can’t do the heavy lifting for you.

    Traditional security awareness metrics often focus on surface-level indicators, such as training completion rates or phishing click rates. that fail to capture meaningful behavioural change. The key question is: Are you measuring performance or real impact?​

    In this talk, ThinkCyber's CEO and Co-founder, Tim Ward, will discuss how to transition toward metrics that reflect genuine behavioural changes while ensuring compliance and effectively measuring the impact of your security awareness initiatives. ​

    Tim will cover what to measure to provide deeper insights into security culture, the tools available for tracking progress over time, and how to present these findings effectively to leadership. ​

    By leveraging behavioural science and meaningful data, organizations can move beyond compliance and successfully influence employee behaviours, thereby reducing operational risks and enhancing their overall security posture.​

    Manual certificate management can be an issue, and this is without the new changes on the horizon. Google’s cutting certificate lifespans to 90 days, Apple’s slashing them to 47, and post-quantum cryptography is looming. If your cert estate isn’t airtight, you could be more prone to outages, security gaps, and endless firefighting.

    Join AppViewX CSO Murali Palanisamy and Stuart McCann from cyber security consultancy FullProxy to find out how to stop certificate chaos before it stops you; strengthen your PQC strategy and stay ahead of the curve before the these changes come into effect.
