With 2 intriguing workshops and an interactive panel discussion, Obrela is further supporting its presence in key events targeted to security leads that search for actionable insights both in terms of regulatory compliance and faster and more accurate threat intelligence.
Obrela sponsors the IDC IT Security Summit UK 2026, a leading cybersecurity conference bringing together CISOs, IT leaders, and security experts to discuss the challenges of securing modern digital enterprises. The event will be held at Convene 133 Houndsditch in London, a major conference venue located in the heart of the city’s financial district, from 8:30 until 17:00.
Event Overview
The summit focuses on how organizations can navigate a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape shaped by:
- Increasing cyber threats
- Regulatory changes across Europe
- Rapid adoption of AI, cloud, and emerging technologies
- The need for stronger digital resilience
The event will gather C-level security leaders and decision-makers from major organizations across multiple sectors including finance, energy, manufacturing, and public services.
Obrela’s Participation
Capitalising on Obrela’s unique offering that combines cyber risk management and threat intelligence to deliver an integrated approach, the team will both participate in an intriguing panel discussion about the way to manage threat management and incident response and two intereactive workshops about the regulatory frameworks and compliance concerns for the UK Security leaders.
In the panel discussion Andrew Winters, EVP of MDR will analyze how, through 24/7 security monitoring, threat intelligence, advanced analytics, and automated response capabilities, MDR helps organizations:
- Detect sophisticated attacks earlier
- Reduce dwell time and attacker persistence
- Improve response speed and operational resilience
- Align security operations with regulatory compliance requirements
In highly regulated sectors such as financial services, energy, telecommunications, and critical infrastructure, MDR provides the operational capability needed to meet evolving expectations for real-time threat detection, rapid incident response, and continuous risk monitoring. For organizations operating across multiple jurisdictions, MDR also supports consistent security operations and governance across distributed environments, including hybrid cloud, OT environments, and remote work infrastructures.
In the workshop, Notis Iliopoulos EVP of MRC will present cases to analyse and elaborate on how the frameworks such as the Cyber Security Resilience Act, NIS2, DORA, and the EU AI Act are redefining expectations for cybersecurity governance, risk management, and operational resilience.
During this workshop discussion, participants will explore:
- How organizations can operationalize cybersecurity governance frameworks
- Strategies for aligning security operations with regulatory requirements
- Managing cyber risk across complex hybrid and multi-cloud environments
- Integrating continuous monitoring with compliance reporting
- Building resilience in line with industry and national cybersecurity mandates
The session will encourage participants to share practical experiences and discuss how organizations can move from periodic compliance exercises toward continuous compliance and risk visibility.
These sessions will focus on how organizations can improve threat detection, accelerate incident response, and strengthen cyber resilience through advanced security operations.
