Knowledge Sprint: Threat Detection & Incident Response in 2026

Threat landscapes are evolving faster than ever. With AI‑driven attacks, cloud dependency, supply‑chain vulnerabilities, and an increasingly sophisticated ransomware ecosystem, organisations must rethink how they detect, investigate, and respond to threats. 

Join us for a high‑impact knowledge sprint where we break down the modern state of Threat Detection and Incident Response (TDIR) and show how today’s defenders can stay one step ahead. 

During this session, we’ll explore what TDIR Really Means in 2026:

• Detection: Actively monitoring security events across cloud, network, and identity to spot emerging threats. 
• Investigation: Correlating signals, analysing behaviour patterns, and using AI to uncover deeper insights. 
• Response: Containing threats, restoring services, and implementing changes to prevent future compromises. 

How TDIR Has Transformed Over the Past Year 

• The rise of AI and Large Language Models on both sides of the security battle. 
• Attackers automating malware, exploitation, and phishing campaigns. 
• Defenders accelerating detection, correlation, and triage with AI‑powered tools. 
• Increased reliance on cloud platforms and the reality of major cloud outages. 
• Growing supply‑chain compromises as big organisations harden security, but vendors lag. 
• The shift in ransomware strategy from encryption to data theft and extortion due to improved backup maturity.
