Security Matters

Cyber Security Governance: Latest Trends, Threats, and Risks. September 2026

Lloyd's Library, Lloyd's Building, One Lime Street, London EC3M 7HA,

Thursday 17 September 2026

12:00PM - 14:00PM

Introduction

Equip your business against modern cyber and fraud threats with our fast-paced, 90-minute forums. Led by Lloyd's market professionals and global security and legal experts, these popular sessions provide actionable insights and proactive strategies that empower market companies—regardless of size—to build stronger defences. 

Cyber-attacks are inevitable; crisis is optional. Market firms cannot stop every breach, but they can control the fallout. The difference between a front-page disaster and a routine security event comes down to operational resilience. 

Whether your company is a growing startup or a global enterprise join frontline experts from Cato Networks, BullWall, and Infinigate to discover practical strategies to bolster your threat resilience and minimise costly downtime.

This session will cover:-
 
  • Total Visibility: Eliminate blind spots across IT operations
  • Behavioural Profiling: Spot anomalous AI threats before they strike
  • Instant Containment: Neutralise cyberattacks with zero lag
  • Perpetual Governance: Automate continuous compliance seamlessly
  • A ransomware attack does not end when systems are restored

 

There will be an opportunity to put questions to the presenters at the end of the forum.

This event is free to attend. To register, please submit your request via email to brian@intechforums.com. A confirmation email will be issued to secure your registration.

Prize Draw for an Apple iPad, awarded post-event for the best topic/theme suggestion for a future ‘IT-Security Matters’ forum.

Who Should Attend

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

This session has been tailored to the needs of senior business; CISOs, IT and security professionals; finance officers; legal, risk and compliance executives; underwriters and brokers who work in the Lloyd's and London insurance market. If this forum is relevant to other colleagues within your company, then please forward this e-mail to them. Thank you.
