The panelists - Anna Delaney, director, productions, ISMG; Jon Staniforth, former CISO, Royal Mail; Mathew Schwartz, executive editor, DataBreachToday and Europe; and Helmut Spöcker, vice president, chief security officer, ECS Partner Management - discussed:

  • Lessons learned from the Royal Mail ransomware attack and the response, including the need for good communication and a plan to address the broader organizational impact of major cyber incidents;
  • The dual nature of AI in cybersecurity, how AI both enhances security and accelerates threats to the enterprise, and why data governance is so important;
  • How security organizations have made significant progress in sharing knowledge and strengthening defenses, and the role of continuous learning and cyber resilience in securing operations.
