Trust Under Pressure – Technology, Security and Partnerships in Times of Transformation
As technologies such as artificial intelligence increasingly influence security, industry and the way entire organisations operate, simply having technological capabilities is no longer enough.
Trust, data security, access to the right talent and the ability to build long-term partnerships are becoming increasingly important.
During Trust Under Pressure, we will explore how technology companies and their partners can build the credibility and capabilities needed to deliver projects of high importance to security.
Particular attention will be given to the role of AI, technology security, and cooperation between technology companies, suppliers and organisations operating in sectors with heightened security requirements.
Building Capabilities. Who Will Secure Them?
The central part of the event will be an English-language panel discussion focused on building technological capabilities in times of rapid transformation.
The discussion will bring together representatives of the technology, business and security sectors.
