About this event
Cybersecurity engineers from Skyscanner and Accenture unpack what it takes to build a resilient security culture as organisations race to adopt AI. Chrisando Ryan (Skyscanner) shares hard-won lessons from embracing AI at pace — what burned, what they changed, and how far to trust autonomous systems — alongside Greg Cavé (Accenture) on the leadership buy-in, strong foundations and shared responsibility that matter as much as the technology. Free and in-person at 47 Potterrow (with an online option); essential for anyone working with data, AI or digital systems who wants to better protect their organisation. Part of The Data Lab Community's Cybersecurity & Privacy series.
