Framing the Cybersecurity Conversation: Reviews, Resets, and the Reveal of a Digital Hyperspace Bypass

Sensemaking in cybersecurity can be an exercise in frustration, if not futility. Setting context can itself seem a revolving carousel of flashy, important bits, all eye catching but with coherence always that bit beyond reach. 

“Core” cybersecurity itself is a moving target, with its foundational and relative importance role in technology a shifting spectrum of views. With a background of tech itself being a means to an end, and the oft repeated dictum that tech (and cybersecurity) does not exist in a vacuum, driving consensus on the future and its digital yellow brick road is a tough ask.

This panel attempts to give line of sight to the most prominent guideposts. How is security and tech evolving - what are the flashpoints in data, identity, and other fundamentals under the aegis of GAI? How does the ground continue to shift in the interplay of leadership roles in security, tech, and general organisation? What are the implications for policy, deployment, and the daily reality for governments, industry, and social units?

If we were to craft a hitchhiker’s guide to cyber, would we indeed be told “don’t panic” even as we search for the meaning of our own 42?
