Join us to explore this year's theme Securing the AI era_
Frontier technologies are fundamentally reshaping our world. Artificial intelligence capabilities continue to advance and transform technologies, services and systems that underpin modern society. Securing the AI era will require more than simply responding to emerging risks.
The CYBERUK 2027 programme will examine the challenges and opportunities presented by AI, share insights and best practice, and help drive the innovation needed to build a more secure digital future.

Bookending both days, the plenary sessions will encourage everyone to step back and see the bigger picture. The stage will welcome leading voices and alternative thinkers to explore the theme of the conference: securing the AI era.

In-person, technical talks for experienced practitioners. Following an open call for papers, we select the best experts in their field to deliver these advanced briefings. They provide insight into some of the latest thinking and research into our most pressing current and future technical challenges, providing detailed analysis and practical implications.

How can the UK strengthen its cyber resilience as the world adopts AI? This track explores how we could adapt thinking and practices to ensure AI delivers cyber security benefit, both now and in the future.

This track examines the innovations, research, new tech governance and standards needed to build a secure technological future. Delegates will explore emerging ideas and proven evidence-based solutions, understand the trade-offs involved, and discover new ways to embed lasting security into future systems.

Our adversaries are agile, adaptive and global. This track sheds light on the emerging risks and vulnerabilities facing the country and the globe in the AI era. Hear from leading UK and international experts about how the threat landscape is shifting, and how intelligence insight is being turns into defensive advantage.

New for 2027, this track will present sessions that will be open to all and of wide interest but aimed specifically at selected disciplines within the cyber sector. For this year, we will have a focus on CISOs and Cyber Lawyers.

As the cyber landscape evolves, solutions must keep pace. Developed by government and industry sponsors, these sessions will explore live challenges, share strategies and practical approaches to allow delegates to develop their understanding and possibly adapt their practices as a result.

The Lightning Talks take place on the Spotlight Stage in the Expo during the morning, afternoon and lunchtime breaks. These are 5-minute, bite-size shots of inspiration, single-speaker, single-idea, solution-focused practitioner or research-led presentations. Delivered by delegates, curated by the NCSC. New for 2027 is the inclusion of international speakers on this stage.
