Welcome & short introduction from the organization incl. elevator pitches from some hopefully interesting start ups moderated by Peter Kunz, Senior ICT Security Consultant at RUAG

3:00 pm

The first round of the roundtable discussion starts. You can participate in three different discussions.

Roundtable 1: Netanel (Neo) Azoulay, CEO & Co-Founder at Mesh Security
Co-Moderator: Jeff Schiemann, SIGS Contributor and CISO at AMINA Bank

Unified SAIL for the AI Era: Building the System of Decisions
The Security Analytics & Intelligence Layer (SAIL), introduced by Gartner, represents the next evolution of enterprise cybersecurity. In the AI era, the challenge is no longer collecting more telemetry. The challenge is turning fragmented security signals into faster, more confident decisions.

Join this discussion as we explore how organizations can evolve from disconnected security products into a unified System of Decisions that delivers measurable security outcomes across the enterprise.

Key Takeaways

• Understand which exposures truly threaten critical business assets by combining identity, vulnerabilities, attack paths, and business context.
• Measure the ROI of Zero Trust initiatives with defensible, board-ready metrics instead of technology-centric KPIs.
• Enable an Agentic Security Workforce, where AI augments security teams and automates security operations at scale.
• Continuously measure, validate, prioritize, and eliminate cyber exposure through a unified decision layer rather than disconnected security products.

Roundtable 2: Dominik Roithmeier, NG Identity Specialist at CrowdStrike
Co-Moderator: SIGS Contributor

An Identity Crisis: Securing Hybrid Infrastructure in the Age of AI Agents
Hybrid Infrastructure has never been easy. As AI agents become autonomous actors within hybrid environments, the traditional identity perimeters dissolves and security teams are faced with an explosion of non-human identities that are creating new attack surfaces.

This session explores what steps need to be taken to close the identity security gap before adversaries exploit the blind spots that come with AI adoption and how organisations can build a unified identity security strategy that spans humans, machines, and AI — without sacrificing speed or scale.

Roundtable 3: Nikola Novoselec, Technical Director, Agentic AI Architecture & Governance at Swiss Post
Co-Moderator: Cloudflare / SIGS Contributor

Zero Trust for the Agentic Enterprise: From Policy Fabric to Controlled Autonomy

• Everyone is excited about autonomous AI agents. Almost nobody is ready to govern them.
• Enterprises are moving from AI systems that answer questions to AI agents that take action: writing code, modifying infrastructure, calling APIs, opening tickets, testing systems, reviewing changes, and operating across toolchains at machine speed. That creates a new version of an old architectural problem. Who is the entity? What is it allowed to reach? Which tools may it execute? What evidence supports its decision? Who is accountable when it acts?
• The answer is not to bolt another AI security product onto the side. The answer is to treat Agentic AI as an enterprise architecture problem, and to build it on the same Zero Trust policy fabric used to govern humans, services, partners, suppliers, customers, and machine-to-machine systems.
• Drawing from the enterprise Zero Trust Program at Swiss Post and the development of Codeflare as a governed agentic engine, this session connects Zero Trust architecture with Agentic AI governance. We will explore how consensus architecture, explicit trust boundaries, policy-governed access, and continuous verification become the foundation for safe autonomy. Then we will apply those principles to agents: identity lineage, scoped tool access, gateway guardrails, Maker-Checker approval patterns, graduated autonomy, and forensic attribution.
• The central argument is simple: Agentic AI does not replace Zero Trust. It makes Zero Trust operationally mandatory.

Key Takeaways

• Zero Trust as the Agentic Control Plane:
  • How identity, policy, context, and continuous verification become the governance foundation for autonomous AI.
• Controlled Execution Model:
  • How to link agents, tools, evidence, approvals, and accountability into one operating model across SDLC, operations, and infrastructure.
• Graduated Autonomy:
  • How to move safely from human approval to controlled agent execution using Maker-Checker patterns, confidence thresholds, escalation paths, and policy gates.

Roundtable 4: Thierry Silly, Lead Sales Engineer at Check Point
Co-Moderator: SIGS Contributor

The Need for Speed: What if AI is not only the challenge, but also part of the answer?

Cybersecurity teams are expected to move faster than ever - while facing growing threats, increasing complexity, and constant resource constraints. AI is part of the challenge, but it may also be the key to closing the gap.

Join the conversation as we discuss how AI can help organizations improve decision-making, strengthen resilience, accelerate operations, and increase cybersecurity effectiveness across strategy, risk, compliance, architecture, and response.

We're all understaffed, overloaded, and facing growing pressure. What If AI Became Your Best Cybersecurity Resource?

Roundtable 5: Christer Swartz, Director, Industry Solutions & Tech Integrations at Illumio
Co-Moderator: SIGS Contributor

Zero Trust is the Foundation of Protecting yourself from the AI-enabled Threats
The current controversy around the Anthropic Mythos security AI model has now enabled the stark reality were the amount of time between a cyber vulnerability being assigned a CVE, and a threat-actor writing malicious code to take advantage of that vulnerability, has collapsed from months or years down to hours or minutes. No cyber prevention or detection approach will ever be able react as fast as AI-discovered vulnerabilities can now be compromised. Is cybersecurity doomed?

No. Zero Trust is now more relevant than ever, in the age of AI-enabled cybercrime. All of the threats which Mythos, or similar AI models, can compromise assume that the intended target can be reached. Zero Trust enforces and monitors the common dependency which all threats have in order to move between all workloads: segmentation.

Before we try to understand the intent and inner workings of a detected threat, Zero Trust enforces the paths which any threat needs to move. If you enforce the one weakness which all threats rely on, you can limit the scope of the inevitable cyber breach. That first hijacked workload becomes the last, keeping a small breach from migrating and escalating into a crisis.

Zero Trust isn’t just a good idea, it is the foundation of protecting yourself from the AI-enabled threats of today and tomorrow.

Roundtable 6: Immersive & POPP Schweiz AG
Co-Moderator: SIGS Contributor

Security Champions Passport: Building Cyber Resilience in the Age of AI
As AI transforms the way organizations operate, cyber resilience depends on empowering people across the business not just the security team. Join this roundtable to explore how the Security Champions Passport is cultivating a network of security advocates who help drive secure behaviors, responsible AI adoption, and a stronger security culture.

By attending this roundtable you will learn

• How empowering employees across the business creates a distributed network of advocates who strengthen security culture and reduce organizational risk
• Why the AI era requires a shift from awareness to proven readiness. Responsible AI adoption depends on continuously validating that people can recognize, respond to, and mitigate AI-related cyber risks, not just complete training
• Why a Security Champions program scales secure behaviors across the business. By combining practical learning, real-world simulations, and measurable outcomes, organizations can embed security into everyday decision-making and confidently adopt AI.

Roundtable 7: Archana Panchal, Customer Technology Advisor for Security (ALPS) at Kyndryl

A Day in the Life of a Security Professional: defend against the Frontier AI Models
In the AI era, in the context of security, AI has fast started to mean “accelerating incidents”. Mythos was just the beginning, and things could get much worse, before they finally start to become better.

Organizations are dealing with the duality and dilemma of AI being both welcomed in the front door, AND becoming a case of “the call is coming from inside the house” - its most strategic asset, and potentially, its weakest link

So how DO you safeguard against an accelerated insider threat, that does not eat/sleep/rest, has no emotions when it fails, and has yet to understand the hippocratic principle of “first, do no harm”?

Join us, as we discuss some creative - and some not-so-imaginative - ways, to defend against the Frontier AI models.
