Beyond AI Assistants: From Reactive Alerting to AI-Native Cyber Defense
AI is rapidly redefining cybersecurity—but its greatest potential extends far beyond AI copilots, anomaly detection, and scanning for vulnerabilities. Today’s enterprises are typically over-fragmented, operating dozens of disconnected security technologies that generate overwhelming volumes of data yet lack the contextual intelligence needed for rapid decision-making. The next generation of AI-native cyber defense will leverage frontier AI models with intelligent reasoning and orchestration capabilities spanning traditionally isolated cyber domains. By continuously correlating data produced in real-time and determining their relational context, AI can expose hidden attack paths before they are exploited, predict adversary behavior, dynamically adjust risk priorities and recommend response actions, and automate complex security workflows—transforming cybersecurity from reactive alerting to anticipatory, intelligence-driven defense.
This presentation will explore these capabilities can be realized while preserving technical sovereignty, AI sovereignty, and data sovereignty through secure AI architectures that maintain organizational control over data, model usage, and critical decision-making. Attendees will discover how AI-native cybersecurity can dramatically reduce analyst workload, accelerate detection and containment, strengthen governance and regulatory compliance, and provide explainable, auditable recommendations that security leaders can trust.

AI-Driven SecOps (Evolution of Operations): How artificial intelligence is transforming the daily workflow of SOC and CERT teams by automating incident triage and reducing alert fatigue. The focus is on shifting from reactive detection to proactive threat prediction.
Network Intelligence & Visibility: In the era of hybrid work and cloud infrastructure, traditional network perimeters no longer exist. Discussion on how advanced network detection and response (NDR) and threat intelligence help teams spot sophisticated, hidden anomalies in real time.
Cyber Resilience Beyond Compliance: Regulatory mandates (such as NIS2) establish a necessary baseline, but mere compliance does not guarantee security. How to build a culture of true resilience where SOC/CERT operations focus on business continuity and surviving attacks, rather than just checking compliance boxes.
Human-Machine Synergy in Crisis Management: While AI and automation are powerful tools, incident response still relies heavily on human expertise. How to effectively balance roles between AI assistants and human analysts to accelerate mean time to respond (MTTR) to complex threats while retaining key talent within the team.

Panel Discussion: Global Cyber Threats & Critical Infrastructure: From Threat Intelligence to Grid Resilience
As IT and operational technology (OT) converge, critical infrastructure, power grids, and global supply chains face highly coordinated, multi-layered threats that target entire commercial ecosystems. This panel dissects the harsh realities of real-time breach response and the strategic shift from basic regulatory compliance to true organizational resilience.
Operational Reality and Vulnerability in the Power Grid: Exploring how IT/OT integration exposes physical assets—such as smart grids, substations, and production lines—to digital manipulation, where a single breach can cause immediate kinetic and economic fallout.
The Critical First 60 Minutes of Incident Response: Deconstructing the high-stakes coordination between SOC and CERT teams during the golden hour of a crisis, focusing on automated containment playbooks and the decisive business actions needed to prevent a domino effect.

Panelists:
The 47-Day Certificate Lifecycle: Are Organizations Ready?
By 2029, TLS/SSL certificates will have a maximum validity of just 47 days – meaning organizations with large certificate estates can expect hundreds of renewals every year. For business and IT teams that depend on high service availability, this is not only a technical issue, but also an operational and financial risk. It’s not something happening in 2 to 3 years, but a real change starting with 100 day validity from march ’27.
This session examines how the certificate lifecycle can move from reactive, manual management toward automated approach. We will explore how automation can transform the entire TLS certificate lifecycle, from discovering certificates across complex infrastructures and identifying forgotten or unmanaged certificates, to automated renewal, deployment, and service restart. Through real-world use cases, we will show how a zero-touch approach can reduce manual effort, eliminate recurring operational tasks, and minimize the risk of certificate-related outages. Drawing on practical examples, the talk looks at the operational challenges this shift raises and the trade-offs organizations should consider when planning for shorter certificate lifetimes.
