Security at the speed of AI
AI now writes phishing emails, finds vulnerable code and answers customers. It also makes mistakes attackers can steer. Security teams are being asked to defend systems they didn't build, against tools that improve every month.
The summit brings defenders, attackers, researchers and regulators into one room for two days. We keep sessions practical: what broke, what worked, and what you can change when you're back at your desk.
“The region is digitising fast, and attackers know it. We want everyone who leaves this summit to defend their organization a little better on Monday morning.”

Why this matters now
Attackers have new tools
AI writes convincing phishing in any language and finds weak code faster than most teams can patch it.
AI is part of the attack surface
Chatbots, copilots and agents add prompt injection, data leakage and model theft to the risk register.
Rules are arriving
Data protection and AI regulation are tightening. Security teams need to know what will be required of them.
Smaller markets are targets too
Banks, telcos and public services in fast-digitising economies attract attackers because defences are still maturing.
Talent is scarce
The region needs more defenders, and the defenders it has need AI skills to keep up.
Defenders can use AI as well
Used well, AI triages alerts, hunts threats and drafts detections. Used carelessly, it adds risk.
What the programme covers
Every session belongs to one of these streams.
- Offensive AI and red teaming
- How attackers use AI, and how to test your own AI systems before they do.
- Securing AI systems
- Prompt injection, data poisoning, model supply chains and safe deployment.
- Detection and response
- Using AI in the security operations centre without drowning in false positives.
- Critical infrastructure
- Protecting banks, telcos, energy and public services that everyone depends on.
- Policy and regulation
- What lawmakers are asking for, and how to comply without slowing down.
- People and skills
- Hiring, training and keeping the security talent the region needs.
