Conventional detect-and-respond models are no longer sufficient against AI-augmented adversaries, identity-based breaches and the looming threat of quantum decryption. As the attack surface expands and threats grow faster and more autonomous, organizations need a new approach - one that anticipates and neutralizes threats before they materialize.

In this session, Shilpa Sawant, vice president of cyber security at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, will share insights on:

• Why preemptive, predictive security - built on adversary tracking, exposure management and moving target defense - must replace reactive models;
• How identity has become the new perimeter, and why unified identity governance across hybrid and multi-cloud environments is now critical;
• What quantum readiness looks like in practice today, from building a crypto inventory to planning migration to post-quantum cryptography algorithms.
