Innovation and seizing the opportunities of AI and other disruptive technologies require openness and building on a global tech stack. Yet geopolitical tensions and outright warfare are leading many countries to raise the barricades of digital sovereignty. Luukas will touch upon: - Estonia and Ukraine's experiences at the frontlines of cyber and physical warfare - How to extend previous tech and innovation success into the AI era - How small states like Estonia and Singapore and groupings like Europe can find their footing between the US and China (and some practical considerations for companies stuck in the middle).

Track 1: AI x Cybersecurity
Speaker(s)Chaos Engineering is a disciplined approach to system reliability that involves deliberately injecting failures into production-like environments to uncover vulnerabilities and build confidence in system behavior under stress. System failures, especially for commonly used public services can lead to significant impact and reputational damage, understanding and implementing chaos engineering has become crucial for organizations aiming to build truly resilient systems. This session delivers practical insights into chaos engineering concepts, demonstrating how systematic failure injection across different environments can help verify system behavior and identify potential issues before they affect your business operations. Attendees will gain valuable takeaways from transposing essential chaos engineering concepts into practical approaches to implementing failure injection for to enhance service reliability. Whether you are a technology leader, system architect, or engineer, this session will provide you with actionable insights to build more resilient systems that can withstand turbulent conditions and maintain business continuity.

Today's adversaries have long been accelerating and evolving their operations. CrowdStrike now tracks 257 named adversaries and over 140 emerging activity clusters. To stop these adversaries, it is imperative we understand their behaviors, motivations, and techniques. Cloud environments are under siege: New and unattributed cloud intrusions increased by 26% year-over-year. In this session, findings pertaining to cloud threats from the CrowdStrike 2025 Global Threat Report will be shared along with how organisations need to evolve their Cloud Security strategy and prioritise what matters the most – Applications.

Bug Bounty is more than just finding vulnerabilities; it is a continuous approach that optimises testing efforts, enhances resilience and provides valuable insights into real-world attack scenarios. This session will break down how CISOs can build a strong business case for Bug Bounty, demonstrating ROI through a cost-effective, pay-per-valid-report model. Learn how to structure a program that aligns with your security maturity, integrate it into your existing security framework and leverage it as a strategic advantage. With examples from successful industry implementations, we’ll explore how to balance risk, cost and other resource constraints for maximum security impact.

Modern Security Operations Centers (SOCs) face a formidable set of challenges that render traditional security approaches increasingly ineffective. The complexity and heterogeneity of their tool stacks create operational friction, while the sheer volume of alerts leads to debilitating "alert fatigue" among analysts. Compounding these issues is a persistent talent shortage, leaving SOCs understaffed and struggling to keep pace with the ever-evolving sophistication of cyber attackers. These combined pressures demonstrate that the legacy methods of securing organisations are no longer sufficient, necessitating a comprehensive modernisation of the SOC to effectively address today's dynamic threat landscape.

In today's world of cybersecurity, waiting for vulnerabilities to be exploited is no longer an option. Instead, the best defense is a good offense, and the Government is taking a proactive approach to security testing — poking holes in our own systems before attackers do. Join us as we pull the curtains back on the various types of security testing done on Government systems, share lessons learnt in our journey, and how we continuously evolve our approach with the ever-changing cyber threat landscape.
