In 2026’s AI-driven threat landscape, manual defence is a liability. Autonomous agents have accelerated attacks beyond human response capabilities. Security must pivot from proactive prevention to automated, operational resilience—designing systems that survive inevitable breaches. 

Regardless of your company size or complexity join expert speakers from frontline operators Ctera, Cato Networks and Akamai for the latest cybersecurity insights, trends, and practical strategies to boost ransomware resilience and minimise costly downtime.

Ctera leads in hybred files services, unifying on-prem, remote and cloud data with enterprise security and cyber resilience.  Trusted across 50,000+ locations, its Global File System provides distributed teams with low-latency access and multi-cloud scalability. A four-time GigaOm Radar leader, Ctera offers zero-trust architecture, ransomware protection, and AI-powered data intelligence.

Cato Networks provides a cloud-native platform that converges enterprise networking and security into a single global service. Cato is the leader in AI-native Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), a technology model that replaces traditional, fragmented infrastructure with a unified architecture enabling secure, high-performance connectivity for users, data centres, and cloud environments.

Akamai is a leading cloud computing, security, and content delivery network (CDN) provider that powers and protects life online. It operates a massive, distributed edge network, utilising over 400,000 servers in 135+ countries to bring content, applications, and security closer to users, improving performance and reducing latency.

Forewarned is forearmed...or at very least prepared and informed.
