The Programme
Six Sessions You Have to Be in the Room For
Included in every pass. Seats are limited.
We Are Breaking This AI System Right Now
A red teamer attacks a live AI system on stage. No script, no guaranteed outcome.
You predict: does it hold or fall? Your vote is locked before the attack starts.
Riyaz Walikar
Your Production LLM Just Got Compromised
Five roles, CISO, AI engineer, legal, comms and regulator, handle a breach live and in character.
You decide: shut it down or keep running, disclose or wait. The panel must respond to whatever the room votes.
Vandana Verma, Rohan Dhume, Prabhu Pathak
Defend Your Job: Cybersecurity Analyst vs AI
Two teams argue one motion: AI autonomous agents will make L1/L2 SOC roles fully obsolete by 2028.
You vote twice, before and after. The swing decides who won.
Hilal Ahmad Lone
Is Your Industry Guilty of AI Recklessness?
Five industries charged in turn. Prosecution and defence, 60 seconds each.
You are the jury: guilty or not guilty, on every charge.
Siddharth Durbha
Solve My AI Security Problem, Or Get Out
Three CISOs bring real, unsolved problems. Practitioners pitch cold, two minutes each, buzzer if they lose the room.
You crown the sharpest practitioner of the session.
Rajendra Singh, Lt Cdr (Retd) Amit Pal Singh
Rapid Fire. Hard Buzzer. No Slides.
Red team against blue team on scenarios fired cold, 60 seconds per answer.
You score every answer 1 to 5. The leaderboard updates live.
Roopa P, Dr. Lalit Gupta, Lekshmi Nair
Workshops
Four Workshops. Every One Capped.
Pre-registration required, limited seats, and no recording. Included in every pass — but the room fills in the order people book it.
11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
Runs in parallel — pick one
Cyber Career, Skills and Certifications for AI Era
You Got Here on Yesterday's Skillset. That Won't Get You Through the Next Five Years.
Leadership workshop for CISOs, CXOs, and cyber leaders building the skills, certifications, and talent bets that will define security leadership in the AI era. Work alongside peers to map where the discipline is headed and what capability gaps — yours and your team's — need closing first.
Built for leaders shaping the function’s future, not just running today’s.

Future CISO Leadership
The Board Doesn't Want a Technologist. It Wants a Translator.
Leadership workshop for security professionals stepping into the CISO seat. Learn to frame AI risk in the language of the boardroom — budget, liability, and continuity, not CVEs.
Built for the leader accountable when the model, not the network, is the attack surface.
Facilitated by
Satyavathi DivadariFounder and CEO · CyBe Global
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM
Runs in parallel — pick one
Critical Infrastructure & OT Security
The Breach That Does Not Leak Data. It Stops the Grid.
OT/ICS security for IT professionals. Learn to defend the systems that run power, water, manufacturing, and transport — where an outage is not an inconvenience, it is a safety event. Set inside the Arctis Grid and the Phantom Wire campaign.
For IT professionals moving into operational technology.

For analysts and engineers defending production AI.
