dash – Navigating Threats in the New AI Landscape: Cybersecurity and Compliance in the AI Era

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the playing field for the financial and insurance sectors. While AI opens up enormous opportunities, it also imposes entirely new and complex demands on how organizations handle both cybersecurity and compliance.
Welcome to an interactive session where we go beyond theory and dive straight into practice. We have gathered leading experts to give you a comprehensive view of what the threat landscape looks like today – and how you can future-proof your business for tomorrow's technological shifts.
This event is designed to open doors and spark important discussions. Therefore, we have set aside plenty of time for open questions, knowledge sharing, and networking.
What you can expect:
The Paradigm Shift & Real-Life Cyber Threats We begin with Birkir Veigarsson, who introduces how AI has rewritten the rules of governance and cybersecurity. Then, we move into a real-life cybersecurity deep dive with Tony Buss (Freja eID) and Björn Orri Guðmundsson (Aftra). They will demonstrate exactly how modern threat actors operate, covering everything from targeted attacks and the impact of agentic work to the essential IT hygiene factors that keep you safe.
Navigating Risk in a Sovereign AI World We shift our focus to the complex regulatory landscape. Anne Leslie, Head of Risk & Compliance (IBM), explores how organisations can secure compliance and manage risks effectively in a rapidly evolving, Sovereign AI world.
Grounding the Strategy: What is Being Done Today? Peter Kjell (Grant Thornton) ties it all together by bringing the theory down to earth. He will highlight practical steps and showcase how today's compliance and risk management work must be adapted to keep pace with rapid AI advancements.
