โAbout This Event
โCyber risk does not respect borders, time zones, or jurisdictions.
โIn 2025, organizations around the world faced AI-enabled scams, identity compromise, SaaS and supply-chain failures, and large-scale data leaks that crossed industries and geographies. Many incidents spread rapidly across regions because cloud platforms, third-party vendors, and identity systems were shared globally.
โRisk Awareness Now 2026: Global Edition brings together security, cloud, and risk practitioners from around the world to examine what actually happened in 2025 and how to prepare for the pressures 2026 will bring.
โAcross five focused sessions, this virtual summit analyzes the most consequential incidents of 2025, the role of AI and identity in modern attacks, and the defensive practices, playbooks, and continuity strategies that proved effective across different regulatory and operational environments.
โYouโll leave with a clear, practical 90-day action framework you can adapt to your organization, your region, and your regulatory context.
โWho Should Attend
โโ
CISOs, security leaders, and incident response managers working in global or regional roles
โ
Cloud, SaaS, and identity owners operating across Azure, AWS, GCP, Entra, Okta, and similar platforms
โ
Risk, resilience, BCDR, and GRC professionals managing cross-border exposure
โ
Cybersecurity practitioners seeking to understand global attack patterns and defensive priorities
โ
Founders, technology leaders, and advisors responsible for security decisions in multinational environments
โWhether you operate in the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, or globally distributed teams, this event is designed to help you translate last yearโs incidents into concrete action.
โWhat Youโll Learn
โ๐ฏ How the most significant breaches and data leaks of 2025 affected organizations across regions and industries
๐ฏ How AI, identity abuse, and third-party SaaS reshaped attacker capabilities worldwide โ and why many legacy controls failed
๐ฏ What detection, containment, and recovery practices worked across different regulatory and operational contexts
๐ฏ How to build a practical 90-day security and risk action plan that aligns technical controls with business and regulatory expectations
