What to look out for
The sessions and announcements worth planning the days around.
Forrester's theme of the year: how AI changes attack, defence and the way risk is assessed.
Tracks on trust and assurance, guardrails for AI risk, AI for security and security fundamentals.
Sessions on governing fleets of AI agents, a topic most security teams have only started on.
What's in it for buyers
If you're choosing partners or planning a programme.
- Check a security roadmap or a managed security plan with Forrester's analysts in person.
- Hear how peers are putting guardrails around AI before it reaches production.
- Small enough that roundtables lead to real conversations with other CISOs.
What's in it for vendors
If you're selling services into this ecosystem.
- Vendor attendance is limited and approved by Forrester; sponsorship is the usual route.
- A concentrated audience of security leaders rather than a large, noisy expo.
- AI security and agent governance are what attendees are actively looking for help with.
