About this Event
When disruption isn’t an option, resilience is essential.
AI is transforming the cyber threat landscape. For organisations where downtime means disrupted services, financial losses or compromised operations, cyber resilience is a business-critical priority.
Join Smarttech247 in Belfast as part of our three-city Cyber Resilience in the Era of AI roadshow, in partnership with KnowBe4. Explore how organisations can prepare for cyber threats, respond effectively and recover quickly to protect critical operations and maintain business continuity.
From healthcare and pharmaceuticals to financial services, manufacturing and automotive, this event is relevant to organisations looking to strengthen cyber resilience and protect critical operations.
Expect straight answers to practical questions:
Hear practical insights from cybersecurity experts and industry leaders on:
- What would an AI-enabled attack on a business like yours look like?
- What are the three things to fix first?
- What do regulators and insurers now expect?
- And how do you get buy-in without a scare campaign?
