Securing Agentic AI: Five Trends Reshaping Cybersecurity
Diana Kelley | CISO at Noma Security
This talk explores how agentic AI is transforming cybersecurity by shifting decision-making to autonomous systems—introducing new risks that traditional models aren’t built to handle. It highlights key vulnerabilities and the five emerging trends reshaping security, along with a practical framework to secure AI-driven environments without slowing innovation.

The Quantum-AI Collision: Moving from Static Defense to Cryptographic Agility
Matthew White | VP Cyber Security Specialist Team at Thales
This session explores why traditional static cryptography is no longer sufficient and how organizations can transition to cryptographic agility—the ability to quickly adapt and replace cryptographic mechanisms as threats evolve. We’ll discuss the security implications of the Quantum‑AI convergence and practical steps to build resilient, future‑ready security architectures.

Pentesting in the Age of AI: Evolution or Extinction
Angelina Liu | Account Executive, ANZ at Aikido Security
Penetration testing is at a crossroads. In an era of AI agents and automation, some argue it’s becoming obsolete, others insist it’s more essential than ever. Can agentic AI agents truly rival the creativity and intuition of human hackers, or will AI simply accelerate routine tasks?

Data Visibility, Access Control, and Governance in the AI Era: What CISOs and CIOs Must Know and Prove
Dean Saunders | Regional Director, ANZ at Forcepoint
This session will examine the operational gaps that leave organisations exposed - shadow data in hybrid environments, security controls that exist as part of process but fail under scrutiny, and data risk activity that only surfaces after the damage is done.
Drawing on challenges common across Australian public and private sector environments, we will explore how organisations are rethinking data security and breach prevention strategies for today’s AI era, that support and add real-time value to CISO’s and security teams.

The Human Factor – How AI is Mitigating the Risk
Matt Berry | Field CTO at Abnormal AI
Cybercrime is built on complex socio-technical systems with humans in the loop. Humans make mistakes because they're distracted, overwhelmed or confused. In fact, the aviation industry has long looked at the "human factor" as the leading cause of aircraft incidents and has developed extensive safety science frameworks and training to mitigate the effect of the fallible human. Is that something we can do as cyber professionals? In this talk I'll illustrate with real examples, how cybercriminals are exploiting the human factor and how behavioural AI can directly intervene, removing the human from the loop, plus provide the training needed to improve human resilience to cybercrime.

From Legacy SOC to Agentic Operations: A Practitioner's Path Forward
Sameer Kashid | Sales Manager APJ at Strike48
Legacy SOC architectures promised unified visibility and automated response. They delivered alert fatigue, fragmented workflows, and analysts buried in manual tasks. The tools changed, but the outcomes didn't.
How can we finally break the cycle? Join this session hear one’s organization's SOC rebuilding journey to:
- Evaluate legacy SOC limitations
- Update to an agentic SOC model
- Avoid AI hype and pitfalls
- Move from pilot to production for agentic phishing detection
Expect concrete examples, an honest look at what worked and what didn't, and a framework for evaluating whether agentic capabilities are ready for your environment.

Secure Workdays: Browser Security for Humans and Agents
Boon Peng Lao | Area VP, Sales Engineering - Asia Pacific at Menlo Security
Join Menlo Security to solve the AI agent challenge. We’re shifting from "securing the wire" to securing the modern workspace. Discover how our Browser Security Platform (BSP) acts as a "guardian runtime," shielding agents from poisoned ingestion and bridging the gap to legacy, API-deficient systems and data.
Don't let your AI strategy hit the "Modernization Wall." Secure the future of autonomous work today.

Fixing Every Known Vulnerability Has Always Been Operationally Infeasible.
Wayne O'Young | Country Manager, ANZ at XM Cyber
The sheer volume of vulnerabilities is only the tip of the iceberg, compounded by the increasing diversity and distribution of assets and outdated prioritisation logic. Furthermore, even teams with ample resources struggle due to complex approval processes and limited context on which systems to patch first and why. With attackers weaponising AI, there is never a time when improving your cyber hygiene is less critical.
There needs to be a paradigm shift in how we prioritise our limited remediation resources based on the risk posed by the attacker. In this session, we will discover how to supercharge your remediation by looking through attackers' lenses and breaking their attack cycle.
