Interdisciplinary cyber: Securing every user in 2027—human or agent

Cybersecurity in 2027: Securing people and AI agents across the business

HotTopics C-suite Exchange, in partnership with 

As AI agents gain access to enterprise applications and sensitive data, CISOs face a growing challenge: deciding how much authority to delegate, how to monitor its use and when a human must intervene. Familiar problems of excessive permissions, data leakage and unclear accountability take on new urgency when software can act autonomously and at speed. Meanwhile, ransomware, third-party exposure and pressure to enable innovation continue to compete for security teams’ attention.

This virtual roundtable, in partnership with Menlo Security, brings together UK enterprise CISOs and cyber leaders to explore how security, identity, data and AI teams can share responsibility for this changing environment.

Participants will compare approaches to governing access, detecting unintended activity and assigning accountability, identifying practical priorities for protecting both human and agent-driven work in 2027.

Core debate question: Where can existing controls extend to agents, and where do they fall short?
