   Breaking Into Cyber Security: Military, Law & Tech Pivots. LIVE from ICE 2026

   The biggest lie in the industry is that you need a technical background to secure a network. (Here's the Truth) Some of the best minds defending our infrastructure didn't start in a server room. They started on military bases and in law schools. Live from the International Cyber Expo, we bypass the corporate jargon to explore the unfiltered realities of building a career in a high-pressure industry. We sat down with professionals whose backgrounds span from the Royal Air Force to corporate law to prove that there is no single pathway into this space. We unpack what it really takes to transition into tech, why admitting your networking anxiety is the ultimate icebreaker, and how transparent business practices and continuous security actually work in the real world. 👇 Join the conversation and let us know: What is the most unconventional job or experience that prepared you for your current career? A massive thank you to OSSPREY for sponsoring this on-site ICE special edition. 🚀 Featured Guests & Sponsors: Will Jude-Poole – Frontline Incident Responder | Agentic AI Investigator As the former Principal Cyber Investigation Officer for the ICO, Will has investigated the UK's most high-profile breaches, giving him a rare view into exactly what companies try to hide from regulators and why they always get caught. Connect With Will: https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhpoole/ Owen Masters – Lead Cyber Security Consultant: Owen Masters works in cybersecurity at Hackurity, helping organisations stay one step ahead of attackers. Away from cybersecurity, he’s a lifelong martial artist, passionate traveller and devoted animal lover who spends much of his free time with his two dogs and volunteering to help animals.

Open source is the backbone of modern software, and it’s also a fast-moving attack surface: typosquats, maintainer takeovers, dependency confusion, suspicious release patterns, and payloads hidden in “legit-looking” updates. Ossprey Security is built to detect these threats with a security-first view of both code behavior and package provenance. Ossprey Security is designed for security leaders and engineers who need practical guardrails in CI/CD: catch risky dependencies early, reduce triage time, and make dependency decisions with evidence, not guesswork. If you’re building or shipping with npm, PyPI, and other ecosystems, and want to harden your software supply chain, we’d encourage you to connect with the team.

   Global Cyber Threats: The Real Strategy to Protect Tech

   An algorithm can predict your behavior, but it can never catch you when you fall. True resilience doesn't live in a server room- it lives in the people standing next to you. Live from the International Cyber Expo, we are cutting through the tech hype to address the real crisis: the cyber security industry doesn't just have a technology problem, it has a decision problem. Change makers Chuks, Nas, Bianca, and Allen join Warren and Jay to unpack the reality of securing modern businesses against automated cyber threats. We break down the industry's accessibility problem for early-career professionals, the widening AI security skills gap, and practical ways to protect your family from AI-driven social engineering and voice cloning. Drawing on global perspectives from the UK, the EU, India, and Brazil, the panel cuts through the tech hype to address shadow AI risks, data sovereignty, and how to eliminate "tool fatigue" by holding vendors accountable for actual ROI. Beyond the server room, we explore actionable strategies for expanding tech partnerships into South American markets, leveraging endpoint automation to reclaim IT hours, and maintaining mental resilience through sports, faith, and community charity work in a high-pressure digital world.

   How Autonomous AI Infiltrates Infrastructure: Can You Actually Trust Your Agents? | International Cyber Expo LIVE

   You are terrified of machines taking over, yet you wake up every morning and operate your schedule like one. In our collective rush to automate heavy lifting, enterprises are blindly handing the keys to critical infrastructure over to autonomous AI agents operating with zero human visibility. The "Move Fast and Break Things" era is dead. Today, an unvetted agent given a completely benign prompt- combined with access to sensitive data and external networks- can quietly misalign, bypass permissions, and infiltrate live production. The ultimate leadership test is no longer about how fast you can deploy AI, but whether you have the architecture to actually see what it is doing and govern it. Live from the floor at the International Cyber Expo (ICE) at Olympia London 2026, we sit down with Jack Miller, Co-Founder & CTO of Helmguard AI. Moving past generative AI hype, we expose the real mechanics of agentic AI security, why elite enterprises choose 16-hour governed workflows over 1-hour unmonitored scripts, and how to deploy secure execution environments to keep autonomous tech in check. A massive thank you to Helmguard AI for partnering with us to sponsor this on-site ICE special edition episode. 🔥 Inside this episode: - The Misalignment Reality: How simple prompts trigger rogue network actions and the growing legal threat of autonomous agent liability. - The 16-Hour Rule & GRC 8.0: Why top hedge funds prioritize slow, rigorous assurance and how to simulate risk before breaking production. - Taming the AI: Fixing LLM sycophancy, eliminating shadow AI, and safely automating vendor governance. - Scaling Securely: How Helmguard AI reached £1M ARR in 9 months by cutting through the noise to master AI security. 🚀 Featured Guest & Sponsors: Jack Miller, HelmGuard AI’s CTO, is an AI engineer and researcher specializing in secure, robust AI systems. He has collaborated with top European institutions such as ETH Zürich, University of Cambridge, and University of Oxford. Jack graduated from the Australian National University, earning one of the country’s most prestigious undergraduate scholarships. His work includes publishing in leading AI research journals and developing a commercialized algorithm in quantum chemistry. Jack combines deep academic expertise with practical innovation to shape HelmGuard’s approach to AI-powered cyber defence. HelmGuard is currently offering a free rapid assessment of your company's AI usage and risks. We will review up to 50 vendors you select to determine the risk posed by their use of AI. We also check your internal AI usage via a risk assessment process that can bring in data from MDM, internal policies and your cloud usage. 👉 Get in touch: https://helmguard.ai/contact Up Next: SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss our upcoming montage episode from the ICE floor featuring rapid-fire operator insights.
