VP Security at Microsoft
Four in five CEOs are more optimistic about the ROI on AI investments than a year ago, and more than 90% plan to continue investing to drive further efficiency, scale, and cost savings [BCG, 2026]. For security leaders, this creates a familiar tension: how to enable transformation at speed without weakening oversight or creating new forms of unmanaged access risk.
As environments become more complex, the number of identities operating across the enterprise continues to grow dramatically – with non-human identities increasing 820% year-on-year [Forrester, 2025]. These identities often fall outside traditional operating models, creating new challenges around ownership, visibility into who or what has access, and business’ ability to demonstrate effective control.
With the AI revolution advancing rapidly, what steps should you take now to enable its benefits while governing access in a way that is measurable, defensible, and scalable?

An intimate dinner at a Michelin-starred location
2nd June 2026 // City Social // 6:30-9:30 PM
Jason Atherton’s handsome restaurant on the 24th floor of Tower 42 is dark and moody, with a subtle art deco twist. It boasts impressive views of the City skyline and the menu offers generous modern European dishes including multiple cuts of Cumbrian beef cooked on the Josper grill, from rib-eye to sirloin. The wine list offers an appealing mixture of prices and styles, and there are noteworthy cocktails too.

CMO, Hastings
