Speakers warned that AI accelerates both attacks and defensive response, while capital and workforce dynamics are shifting rapidly.

🎥 RSAC 2026 concluded with AI agents taking center stage across sessions and discussions. ESET Chief Security Evangelist Tony Anscombe, on the ground for the conference, highlights that AI was discussed both as a strong defensive capability and, more urgently, as a growing risk many organizations have not yet fully addressed. Watch the video for concise, practical takeaways from the event, where ESET delivered a record six presentations.

🛡️ This webinar, Exposure-Driven Resilience, demonstrates how teams can move from assumptions to evidence by automating tests that emulate real attacker behavior. The session explains how to pressure-test both technical controls and operational processes, use threat intelligence to prioritize what to test, and fold results into everyday SOC and incident response workflows without added complexity. Presenters Jermain Njemanze and Sébastien Miguel provide a practical walkthrough and a live demonstration to show how to prove defenses actually work.

🎤 Infosecurity Europe has named former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dr. Dmytro Kuleba as a headline keynote for its 2–4 June 2026 conference at ExCeL London. Kuleba will speak on 3 June at 10:05 about 'Ukraine's Hybrid War and the New Cyber Frontline,' sharing lessons on coordinated cyber‑kinetic attacks, disinformation and why Western enterprises are increasingly the primary cyber frontline. Attendees will hear practical insights for resilience.
