In partnership with Arctic Wolf
Attackers are using AI to move faster, automate activity, and operate at greater scale.
For already stretched IT and security teams, that creates a difficult challenge and raises the question:
How do you keep pace without adding more complexity, noise and pressure to your existing operations?
But AI isn’t only changing the way organisations are attacked. It’s also creating new opportunities to strengthen how threats are identified, investigated, and responded to.
Join NG-IT and Arctic Wolf for an interactive afternoon exploring both sides of the AI equation. We’ll look at how AI is changing the threat landscape, what that means for security teams, and how organisations can use these same advances to strengthen their own cyber defence.
We’ll also take a closer look at Agentic SOC, with Arctic Wolf explaining how it works, where AI fits within security operations, and the benefits it can bring to investigation and response.
Once the cybersecurity sessions are over, it’s time to hit the track and put your racing skills to the test with an optional F1 simulator experience, alongside drinks and networking.
Why Attend?
AI is already changing the balance between attackers and defenders.
For IT and cybersecurity leaders, the challenge is understanding what that means for your organisation and how to take advantage of AI without adding more complexity.
Join us to cut through the noise, understand how cyber defence is evolving, and explore where AI can make a meaningful difference to your security operations.

From Cyber to Circuit
Following the cybersecurity sessions, we’ll shift gears and head to the virtual circuit.
