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

As AI-driven risks and agentic automation accelerate the speed of cyber threats, passive defense is no longer enough. Your core infrastructure requires built-in, resilient-by-design immunity. Modern vulnerabilities demand an active posture: total network visibility, behavioral activity profiling, instant threat containment, and continuous, always-on governance.

The hard truth is ‘cyber attacks and data breaches are inevitable’ but market firms can cushion the blow of an attack, by:

·       Anticipating and thwarting likely threats

·       Containing breaches early

·       Minimising impact to customers, revenue, and reputation

That’s the difference between a headline-grabbing crisis and a minor security event. 

Join us for the third installment of this year’s "Security Matters" Lunchtime Forum. Learn proven methods and actionable insights to neutralise incoming threats, eliminate false alarms, isolate active attacks, and dramatically reduce investigation times.

Delivered by Lloyd's market professionals, leading security commentators and subject matter experts, these fast paced, informative 75-minute sessions will get your wheels turning about what the latest cyber threats and tripwires look like and the preventative steps you can take to protect your market business (irrespective of size) from this fast-evolving cyber threat landscape.

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

This is a Free to attend event. To Register, simply complete the panel below and an email confirmation of your registration will be sent to your email address.

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