Enterprise buyers used to ask growing companies three questions. Which standards do you comply with? How do you manage your security posture? What does your third-party risk look like?

Procurement checklists now carry a fourth: how do you govern the AI built into your product?

For growing SaaS and B2B companies selling into financial services, healthcare and the public sector, winning a deal means answering all four. Most teams do it while running SOC 2, ISO 27001 and a sector framework at the same time, with a small team carrying the work. Join fellow founders and security leaders over dinner to compare how teams keep up without adding headcount.

As cyber threats become more sophisticated, financial services firms are exploring how artificial intelligence can strengthen security operations, improve threat detection and accelerate incident response. At the same time, adopting AI introduces new challenges around data protection, model reliability, automated decision-making and accountability.

For technology and security leaders, the opportunity lies in moving beyond reactive security towards a more intelligent, adaptive approach to cyber defence. This executive roundtable will explore how AI can help security teams identify emerging threats, prioritise risks and respond more effectively within AWS environments, while maintaining the human oversight, governance and controls needed to protect critical systems and sensitive data.

• How can AI improve threat detection and investigation while helping security teams anticipate emerging attack patterns?
• Where can automation accelerate incident response, and which decisions still require human oversight?
• How can organisations integrate AI-driven security capabilities into AWS environments while maintaining strong data protection, governance and accountability?
• What practical steps can security leaders take today to build a more adaptive and resilient cyber defence strategy?

Agents are pulling dependencies and shipping code faster than ever, on a foundation that is inherently insecure and at a speed that makes reviewing all of it almost impossible. This makes supply chain risk and AI risk a single problem, and leaves you with one question. Are you confident in what your agents build on and what they can reach?

Docker has built the answer in two layers, starting with Docker Hardened Images, the foundation for everything your team and your agents build with, then Sandboxes with AI Governance, the governed boundary around the agents doing the building. Together they mean your agents build on images with near-zero CVEs and reach only what you allow, with the evidence to prove both. Docker turns secure by default from a tax on speed into the reason you can move faster. Docker’s own teams already run their agents this way.

Come and discuss with us how you can bring your agents inside one boundary and keep delegating without taking on more risk.

When security takes a detour, you pay the toll.

Your workloads run on AWS. Your security runs outside it. Deploying it, managing it and fitting it into your architecture creates complexity, and that complexity makes it hard to run at scale.

Then there’s the traffic moving between your VPCs, internet and EC2 instances. Is anyone watching?

And, the policy that gets written twice, by two teams, who don’t always agree.

What you hear here, the public hears later.

Security that runs inside your AWS network.

Here’s what AWS customers tell us they need, and what we’ll work through in the room.

Bring one flow, path or policy you can’t see or control today. We’ll work on it together.

In a mature AWS estate, the humans are a rounding error. The population that actually holds privilege is roles, workloads, service accounts, CI/CD runners, Lambda execution roles, and now AI agents that assume roles and call tools on their own. Most of it was provisioned outside any joiner-mover-leaver process, carries broad or wildcard permissions, and never gets deprovisioned.

Agents make it sharper: a workload chaining sts:AssumeRole or invoking a tool with a scoped-too-wide credential is a privilege decision no human ever reviewed. The table compares how teams are discovering the non-human identities they already have, scoping and expiring that access, and deciding what an autonomous agent is actually allowed to do, without grinding the platform to a halt.

UAE security teams are managing more change in their AWS environments than usual: new accounts, shifting workloads and pressure to keep critical services running. Each change can open a gap in visibility, and attackers look for exactly those gaps. Keeping detection and response coverage steady through that change is now a daily operating priority.

As financial institutions face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, security teams must move beyond reactive measures to identify suspicious activity early, investigate incidents efficiently and minimise the impact of attacks. With critical workloads and sensitive data increasingly hosted in the cloud, achieving this requires strong visibility across environments, timely threat intelligence and a coordinated approach to detection and response.

For technology and cybersecurity leaders in Mumbai’s financial services sector, the challenge is turning these capabilities into a practical, sustainable defence strategy. This executive roundtable will explore how AWS security capabilities and Operisoft’s expertise can help organisations strengthen threat monitoring, streamline incident investigation and improve response readiness, while maintaining appropriate controls over sensitive data and critical systems.

• How can organisations improve visibility across AWS environments to detect suspicious activity and emerging threats earlier?
• What helps security teams investigate incidents faster, prioritise alerts and reduce the burden of false positives?
• How can organisations coordinate incident response effectively across cloud infrastructure, applications and security teams?
• What practical steps can strengthen cyber resilience and response readiness without adding unnecessary operational complexity?
