Frontier Firms, AI Adoption & Agentic Future

Adrian Gregory, President of Insight EMEA, unpacks what truly drives AI success across global enterprises. His core argument: technology isn’t the bottleneck — people, process, and change management are. 

Adrian shares how Insight is stress-testing AI internally before rolling it out to clients, using a “client zero” approach to refine use cases and drive real outcomes. He warns against labeling everything as AI and urges leaders to solve for automation, data, or workflow — whatever the actual problem is. 

The episode dives into why bravery beats protectionism. Companies that cling to legacy revenue streams will fall behind. The winners will be those willing to rethink their operating models, prototype fast, and embed AI into value-driving processes — even if it disrupts the current quarter.

The Hidden Factors That Determine AI Success

Die Verwendung von KI-Technologien ermöglicht es Unternehmen, schnell große Datenmengen zu analysieren und nützliche Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen, die zur Verbesserung von Geschäftsprozessen, Produkten und Dienstleistungen genutzt werden können.

Ein effektives Datenmanagement ist ein wichtiger – wenn nicht sogar der wichtigste - Schritt vor der Einführung von KI. Unternehmen müssen sicherstellen, dass ihre Daten ausreichend vorhanden und von hoher Qualität sind sowie effektiv gespeichert und verwaltet werden, um die Verwendung von KI-Modellen zu erleichtern.

Was gilt es bei diesem Prozess zu beachten? Wie sehen wie ersten und nachfolgenden Implementierungsschritte aus?

Das Zeitalter der KI ist da. Sind Ihre Daten bereit?

AI technologies are simultaneously completely transforming business operations and creating new security vulnerabilities that cannot be addressed by technical safeguards alone. When implementing AI-driven solutions, human oversight is the biggest differentiator between secure innovation and catastrophic data breaches. As such, human intervention is both the biggest vulnerability and most significant defense in organizational security architectures.

To address this challenge, IT leaders can build a security champions program—a network of engaged employees who understand AI-specific threats and serve as frontline defenders. This group bridges the gap between security teams and other business units. They spread security awareness throughout the organization while maintaining operational efficiency.

Join Vincent Amanyi to discover proven strategies for empowering a team of security champions who can help safeguard your organization's AI initiatives and digital assets.

Key Takeaways:

- Learn to assess AI-related security risks across all business functions
- Design a people-centric security strategy that combines technical controls and human intelligence

Threat Actors Unveiled: Nation State versus Cyber Crime

AI is accelerating attacker speed, scale, and creativity. The result isn’t just “more threats,” it’s more inefficient security; overlapping controls, blind spots in identity and SaaS, and testing that lags behind change. The answer isn't in implementing another tool. Instead, it’s about operationalizing control optimization; measuring how each control actually reduces risk in the face of AI-aided techniques and reallocating investment accordingly.

In this talk, Evgeniy Kharam shares a practical, vendor-neutral way to quantify effectiveness: define adversary-centric objectives (ATT&CK-mapped), set baselines, continuously validate controls across identity, endpoint, SaaS, and cloud, and translate outcomes into ROI the business understands. He’ll cover quick wins (days, not months), common pitfalls, and how to use these metrics to justify roadmap and spend for 2026.

Key takeaways:

• A simple model to measure real control effectiveness against AI-driven tactics
• How to find and fix “control drift” created by digital transformation
• What to automate in continuous validation—and what not to
• A board-ready ROI narrative that ties security outcomes to business risk
