What you will learn

This session explores the practical challenges and strategies for implementing AI Security in real-world organisations. The panel will reflect on: 

  • Turning policy into practice (i.e. DSIT’s AI Cybersecurity Code of Practice). What are the barriers.  
  • Case studies and lessons learned from implementation 
  • Bridging innovation with governance and risk management 
  • Building sustainable AI security programmes 

The event will also serve as a launchpad for a UK AI Cyber Network—a community of practice to share experiences, connect across sectors, and accelerate secure AI adoption.
