Cybercrime, risk appetite and the quest for digital trust

Unburdened by Hurdles: Tomorrow’s Data Governance Opportunities
Data—high quality, real-time and accessible— is crucial to gaining timely insights into market trends and customer needs, which drive the business agility that is key to continuous success.
However, most organisations still face multiple data hurdles that get in the way of timely decision-making. A recent report from Confluent cited 60% of respondents highlight governance-related disjoints as another major or frequent challenge [to its data activation strategy]. It doesn’t have to be this way. Working with the right partners, sharing insights with peers and hiring the right people for what your business needs are three ways to unburden oneself from the friction that governance principles can often bring without decoupling from its necessary and important guardrails. In this panel debate, learn how executives across the technology function are attempting this balance—and what they have learned so far.

The 5 Questions the C-Suite Need to Answer for Robust Security
In partnership with Rapid7
Building the (Continuously) Agile Business of 2025
C-suite leaders recognise that successful modern businesses are adaptive. This means many things, but from a technical perspective it means keeping up with innovation, prioritising updates and harnessing them to drive business benefits, seamlessly. The key to this seamlessness? Data—high quality, real-time and accessible.
This triple entente of good data practice makes data the modern catalyst for success, enabling businesses to achieve visibility and agility, driving innovation or maximising cost-effectiveness. This conversation is a competitive differentiator for the C-suite, and yet as a complex conversation between industry leaders, partners and the wider market, is still far from solved.
What lessons have executives learned from years of enacting successive change programs, and how does this inform new ways of unlocking value from data? And what impact is genAI having on these hard-fought-for lessons?
