The Gap Between Detection and Decision. AI raises the alert. Ransomware forces the choice.
In today’s security teams, detection is faster than ever. AI flags anomalies in seconds, dashboards light up, and playbooks kick in. But the hardest part of any incident still hasn’t changed.
The decision.
The Women in Cyber Security, WiCyS UK&I members and allies are invited to Barclays Canary Wharf, to attend a panel discussion on one of the most complex issues in cybersecurity: ransomware payments.
This panel explores the critical moments after a ransomware alert, when automation hands over to humans, pressure spikes, and the consequences of the next call can shape careers, businesses, and lives. We’ll unpack how AI is really being used inside security teams, where it strengthens response, and where it can mislead or fail entirely.
Join us to hear from industry experts and share your own perspectives on this complex decision.
When: 11 February 2026 at 17:30 - 20:00 GMT
Where: Barclays, 1 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5HP
