    As more sectors are drawn into the regulatory net, are new rules enabling or stifling cyber resilience?  This session explores how organisations can respond to emerging threats, not just by meeting regulatory baselines but by building true operational resilience.  Drawing on recent events, we’ll ask: who didn’t get hit - and why? 
    Diversity and Skills

    At today’s crawl, cyber won’t hit parity until 2075, while we face a 4.8 M‑person talent gap and teams with 30 % women see 40 % fewer breaches. Yet just 17 % of CISOs are female.

    Ukraine’s Fast‑Track Proof: War drafted the men; thousands of women pivoted into cyber and tech roles in months, showing parity can happen at warp speed when survival demands it.

    Session Promise: In 30 minutes, we’ll torch the “slow progress” myth, steal Ukraine’s playbook, and slash 50 years to five.

    Key Takeaways

    Data > Diversity Talk: Use stats to win board buy‑in.

    Mid‑Career Hinge: Sponsor & retain women where the pipeline leaks worst.

    Live‑Fire Training Hack: Practical, real-world education (Ukraine‑style) to upskill twice as fast.
