Email remains the number one entry point for cyber attacks, but the way organisations defend it hasn’t kept pace with the way attackers operate.
Join a small group of senior security leaders for an exclusive breakfast roundtable exploring how the email threat landscape is evolving, and what practical steps organisations are taking to stay ahead.
This is not your typical vendor pitch. It’s a candid, peer-driven discussion focused on real-world challenges, emerging threats, and the strategies security teams are using right now to strengthen their defences. The session will follow Chatham House Rule, encouraging open and candid discussion among peers.
What You'll Gain From The Discussion
As attackers increasingly use AI to craft convincing phishing and impersonation attacks, many organisations are discovering that traditional email security controls are no longer enough.
This roundtable is designed to provide practical insight into how organisations are responding to the rapidly evolving email threat landscape. Through expert perspectives and peer discussion, we’ll explore the strategies, technologies, and approaches security leaders are using to strengthen their defences.
Why traditional email security is struggling to keep pace with modern attacks
- A frank look at why legacy approaches are failing to keep pace with the threat landscape.
How behavioural AI is redefining threat detection and response
- Understanding how AI-driven platforms like Abnormal AI identify sophisticated attacks that evade traditional controls.
Why DMARC enforcement is non-negotiable in 2026
- How organisations are strengthening domain protection and preventing impersonation with Sendmarc.
How to modernise security without leaving critical archive data behind
- Explore how organisations migrate legacy archive data at speed, with chain of custody and integrity preserved, so modernisation doesn't create gaps in investigation readiness or compliance posture, with Simply Discover.
An open CISO forum
- A peer-led discussion about what's working, what's not, and what security leaders are prioritising next.
Turning insights into action
- Practical ideas and approaches you can take back to your organisation to strengthen email security and reduce operational risk.
Meet The Discussion Leaders
The session will be guided by experts in email security, domain protection, and external attack surface management, alongside the insights and experiences shared by fellow security leaders in the room.
