Cyber Resilience in the Era of AI, Smarttech247’s four-city roadshow starts in Cork, before Dublin, Limerick and Belfast.
About this Event

Cyber Resilience in the Era of AI is a four-city roadshow brought to you by Smarttech247, taking place in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Belfast. AI is changing the threat landscape fast and organisations are under pressure to adapt their security programs. Each event cuts through that noise with real-world case studies, speakers who’ve dealt with incidents first-hand, and local industry voices sharing what’s actually working in their organisations.

In Cork, Gavan Egan, CRO at Smarttech247, and Robert Kehoe, CTO at Smarttech247, will be joined on stage by Karim Hernandez, Senior Information Security Lead at AXA/Laya Healthcare and David Parkinson, Senior Solution Engineer at SOCRadar. David works across the UK, Ireland, Benelux and Nordics, helping organisations improve and demonstrate resilience from a cybersecurity and threat intelligence perspective. Karim focuses on cybersecurity strategy, business alignment, and helping strengthen their security posture and manage risk.

Expect straight answers to practical questions:

What would an AI-enabled attack on a business like yours look like?
What are the three things to fix first?
What do regulators and insurers now expect?
And how do you get buy-in without a scare campaign?

Each stop also includes a live demo of VisionX, our AI-enhanced MDR platform, hosted by our CTO, a chance to see real-time threat detection and response in action, not just hear about it.

Just as importantly, this is a chance for connecting. We’ve built in networking time over breakfast refreshments, so you can compare notes with peers in your region facing the same challenges. The conversations at these events are often worth the trip on their own.

Note: This event is for senior information security professionals and we reserve the right to refuse submissions. Registration with personal email addresses will not be accepted.
