A clear, non-technical briefing showing how AI changes cyber risk for SMEs and the steps leaders must prioritise in 2026.
About this Event

AI has changed cyber security faster than most SMEs can keep up. Criminals now use AI to automate the high-end attacks once aimed only at large enterprises, and they run them at scale against smaller organisations because it’s cheap, fast and highly profitable.

This briefing shows you exactly how these attacks work and what you must do to protect your business in 2026. Everything is explained in plain English, without technical detail.


What you’ll see on the day

Live demonstrations, including:

  • a deepfake video
  • a voice clone that could fool busy staff
  • phishing emails generated in seconds
  • a simple walk-through of the modern attack chain

These demos show why traditional cyber controls no longer hold up and why SMEs are now the softest targets.


What you’ll learn

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of:

  • how AI impersonation works and why it bypasses people and payment controls
  • where SMEs are most exposed
  • why identity is now the single biggest weakness in most businesses
  • the practical steps that reduce risk quickly
  • how cloud-first and identity-first security keep attackers out
  • the questions every board should be asking

This is a business-focused session for senior leaders, not an IT seminar.


Who should attend

This session is for:

  • CEOs
  • Partners
  • Managing Directors
  • Finance Directors
  • Operations Directors
  • Senior leaders responsible for business risk or compliance

No technical knowledge required.


What you’ll leave with
  • a clear picture of your cyber risk
  • a simple 90-day action plan
  • a better understanding of modern identity and cloud security
  • insight into how attackers now operate and what actually matters
