CISO Spotlight: Dimitris Georgiou on Building Security that Serves People First

Dimitris Georgiou has been a self-professed computer geek since the early 80s. At university, he studied the convergence of educational technology with computer science as part of his psychology MA – finding, to his disbelief, that systems were perilously insecure. Since then, he’s always worked in and around cybersecurity.

APIs Are Critical Infrastructure. Why Aren't We Treating Them That Way?

‍In this session, we take an in-depth look at what it truly means to treat APIs as critical infrastructure. Using industry data and real-world examples, we explore the gap between how much businesses rely on APIs and how well they are actually protected. And we talk about why that gap introduces operational and regulatory risks.

AppSec in the age of AI: An RSA Conference preview

Application security is at a breaking point as development teams move faster than ever, aided by AI-powered coding assistants. While these tools boost productivity, they also introduce subtle errors and insecure patterns at scale. The result: a growing backlog of vulnerabilities that outpaces traditional AppSec models. This webcast examines the risks and opportunities of AI in AppSec and who will be addressing it at RSA Conference. We’ll explore how defenders can use AI to level the playing field with automated scanning, intelligent prioritization, and secure-by-design practices.

The CISO's Dilemma: How To Scale AI Securely

Your board wants AI. Your developers are building with it. Your budget committee is asking for an ROI timeline. But as CISO, you're the one who has to answer when the inevitable question comes up: "How do we know this is secure?" If you're like most security leaders, you're caught between two impossible positions. Say yes to AI initiatives without proper security controls, and you're responsible when something goes wrong.

Agent-to-Agent Attacks Are Coming: What API Security Teaches Us About Securing AI Systems

AI systems are no longer just isolated models responding to human prompts. In modern production environments, they are increasingly chained together – delegating tasks, calling tools, and coordinating decisions with limited or no human oversight. Almost all that communication happens through APIs. This shift offers enormous productivity benefits. But it has also complicated security. Because as soon as systems can talk to each other, they can be attacked through each other.

Everyone Knows About Broken Authorization - So Why Does It Still Work for Attackers?

Broken authorization is one of the most widely known API vulnerabilities. It features in the OWASP Top 10, AppSec conversations, and secure coding guidelines. Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) and Broken Function Level Authorization (BFLA) account for hundreds of API vulnerabilities every quarter. According to the 2026 API ThreatStats report, authorization issues ranked ninth in the API Top 10, “reflecting chronic difficulty in managing roles and permissions at scale.”
