The threats have evolved. Has your defense strategy?

Join moderator Sami Laiho and a powerhouse panel of security and IT experts as they tackle one of the most pressing questions of the year: How do you actually avoid getting hacked in 2026?

This candid, high-energy discussion will cover what's working (and what's not) in real-world environments—from zero trust and attack surface reduction, to identity protection, endpoint hardening, use or abuse of AI and securing the cloud. The panel will share war stories, unexpected lessons, and actionable insights that go beyond checklists and buzzwords.

Bring your toughest questions. Leave with practical, modern strategies to help your organization stay one step ahead of attackers.

This is the playbook you wish you'd had before the breach.
