Insurance Technology Forums

Neutralise Early: Transforming Corporate Security with AI

Clyde & Co LLP, The St Botolph Building, 138 Houndsditch, London, EC3A 7AR,

Thursday 06 August 2026

12:00PM - 14:00PM

Introduction

With AI-driven risks and agentic automation reshaping the cyber threat landscape, your estate infrastructure must be resilient by design as today’s (and tomorrow’s) vulnerabilities demand total network visibility, behavioural profiling, instant threat containment, and continuous governance.

Boost your cyber defences and reclaim your time. Join the third 2026 "Security Matters" Lunchtime Roundtable to help stop reactive firefighting. Learn practical steps to block threats, silence false alarms, and accelerate investigations.

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 experts from Exabeam, BullWall, and Clyde & Co LLP as they share actionable insights on mitigating 2026 AI cyber threats, securing sensitive data architectures, and navigating rapidly evolving corporate regulatory compliance requirements. 

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

Attendance is free. However, capacity is capped at 24 delegates. 

Registration. Simply complete the panel below and confirmation of your registration will be sent to your email address.

Who Should Attend

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

This roundtable is designed for senior business, CISOs, IT, legal, and compliance professionals, plus underwriters and brokers.  If this roundtable is relevant to colleagues within your market company, then please give notice about this event. Thank you.
