This session looks at how changes in cyber law, the use of AI, emerging quantum technologies, and growing demands around digital sovereignty are starting to impact UK organisations in day-to-day decision-making. Drawing on experience working directly with boards, it highlights where senior leaders are increasingly accountable, where existing governance arrangements are under strain, and why these issues now sit firmly outside the IT function. The aim is to create an informed and practical discussion about what needs attention now to safeguard data, protect organisational credibility, and remain resilient in an increasingly complex operating environment.
