Data and Cyber Security – why do breaches still happen?

Our first panel session of 2026 brings together four experts (Lizzy Stewart, Peter Lancos, Neil May and Cameron Ireland) to explore why organisations across every sector continue to suffer significant data breaches that impact their business, and why experts within professional services are as prone to attacks as any other organisation.

Key areas that the panel will discuss include:
– How effective and pro-active leadership can help prevent cyber security attacks and data breaches
– How should investment be prioritised so that cyber and data security is not forgotten?
– If the unthinkable happens – how can the firm react to minimise the impact and financial loss.
– In the fast moving world of AI, how does an organisation’s leadership team manage these changes effectively.

The panel will bring fresh perspectives combined with practical experience to provide key takeaways to inform your thinking around cyber and data security.

Hope you can join your peers.
