Just Another Buzzword or a Fundamental Shift?\nBuzzwords have always come and gone in the Information Security and Cyber Security space, and previously new “defining” ways of working have been left behind. Following a CTEM program – as defined by Gartner – is the latest in the line of new methods. Where does this fit into existing risk management program, what changes does it require and what learnings can we take from it?\nSpeaker Bio: Tim Luck, Business Development Director\nTim is an experienced professional who has worked in cyber security for 15+ years in the UK and the US, currently working at Maple who specialize in Data, Security and EDR/MDR. Tim has a broad background, working across IT, OT, Red Teaming, IoT, has supported Maritime, Aviation and Automotive projects, and has established and opened a US office, creating a new arm of the business.\nTim has spoken at various events, including US Chamber of Commerce, FBI, BAR Council, plus specialized events covering FinTech, Law, Insurance, Maritime, Aviation and more.\nTopic Summary: Cybersecurity and AI Incident & Crisis Preparedness and Management\nAs cybersecurity threats accelerate and AI introduces powerful new capabilities—and risks—organizations now face a growing wave of hybrid cyber and AI incidents that can disrupt operations, damage trust, and trigger regulatory scrutiny. This one-hour session delivers a practical, real-world blueprint for preparing for, responding to, and managing from both cybersecurity and AI-driven incidents with speed, clarity, and control. Attendees will learn how traditional cyber-attacks and AI system failures differ, where they intersect, and how to manage both through an integrated incident management lifecycle. A dedicated focus on technical and cross-functional tabletop exercises shows how to test readiness across IT, Security, Legal, Risk, Compliance, Privacy, Insurance, and Regulatory Affairs before a real crisis occurs. Designed for cybersecurity, AI, risk, and technology leaders, this session provides actionable insights to strengthen incident execution, communication, and enterprise-wide collaboration when it matters most.\nSpeaker: Frank Roppelt, Cybersecurity & AI Risk Expert\nFrank Roppelt is a highly accomplished cybersecurity and technology risk executive with over 25 years of experience in financial services and critical infrastructure.

He has led assessments of infrastructure, applications, systems, and endpoint environments, identifying inherited and residual risks, and presenting mitigation strategies to boards and executive committees.\nIn third-party risk management, Frank has rebuilt global Third-Party Risk Management programs using risk-based methodologies aligned to NIST and ISO, and leveraging models such as Shared Assessments. His approach integrates threat intelligence, continuous monitoring, tiering strategies, and executive governance to assess and manage third-party cyber risk. He has modernized workflows, automated due diligence processes, and enhanced vendor accountability, all while supporting regulatory examination readiness.\nFrank has conducted multiple readiness and maturity assessments for cybersecurity, technology risk, and third-party risk programs, using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). His assessments provide insight into control effectiveness, policy maturity, and alignment with enterprise risk appetite. These evaluations have supported strategic planning, regulatory audit preparation, and ongoing program evolution.\nHe works closely with vulnerability management and threat intelligence teams to understand risks across the internal environment and third-party ecosystem. Frank ensures cyber threats and vulnerabilities are contextualized and prioritized, using threat modeling and control mapping to develop proactive risk mitigation strategies. He has a deep understanding of how to apply external threat data to business-specific operations, assets, and partnerships.\nFrank has also led the development of enterprise-wide incident and crisis management programs, serving as Incident Commander during ransomware, breach, and outage scenarios. He has built escalation playbooks, simulation exercises, and cross-functional coordination plans in collaboration with Legal, HR, Communications, and Compliance.
