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 Akamai, Ctera, and Cato Networks for the latest cybersecurity insights, trends, and practical strategies to boost ransomware resilience and minimise costly downtime.

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 365,000 servers in 135+ countries to bring content, applications, and security closer to users, improving performance and reducing latency.

Ctera delivers a secure global file system that merges cloud-scale storage with edge caching to boost performance and simplify collaboration. It provides a unified data fabric that protects, detects, and acts against advanced cyber threats, ensuring robust security and resilience for unstructured data.

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.

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