Infosecurity Europe 2025 unveils new event features in response to AI reshaping cybersecurity priorities

As artificial intelligence continues to transform both the attack landscape and internal security strategies, Infosecurity Europe 2025 will respond with a sharp focus on realigning priorities across the cybersecurity community.

According to Infosecurity Europe’s 2025 Cybersecurity Trends Report, AI-generated attacks are now the primary driver of cybersecurity investment. Generative AI has overtaken other concerns to become the top perceived risk among 28% of cybersecurity professionals. The impact of AI is far-reaching, with 78% saying it will force a complete overhaul of their security strategy, 71% believe it will increase automation across their organisation, and 80% report that AI is now a regular topic of discussion at board level.

To reflect this growing urgency, Infosecurity Europe 2025 has introduced the new AI and cloud security theatre. This dedicated stage will explore AI-driven threat vectors such as deepfakes, automated phishing and LLM exploitation, alongside practical strategies for securing AI and GenAI systems themselves. It will also tackle persistent challenges in cloud security, from misconfigurations to identity management and API threats, within the context of an evolving AI-powered threat environment.

Brad Maule-ffinch, Event Director at Infosecurity Europe, commented:

“AI is fundamentally reshaping how we think about cyber risk, and how we plan for it. What we’re seeing this year is a community eager to move beyond awareness into action, to understand where the real risks are, what the opportunities might be and how to respond strategically.”

The show’s AI coverage expands beyond the theatre into newly launched spaces across the exhibition. Among the most anticipated is the Channel Zone, a first-of-its-kind area dedicated to resellers, integrators, MSSPs and other channel players.

The Channel Zone keynote programme and workshops will offer insight into buying trends, AI-driven transformation, and the impact of emerging technologies on the channel ecosystem. It is designed to foster practical business conversations, deepen industry knowledge and equip attendees to better navigate a cloud and AI-dominated market.

Don’t miss CISO Ian Thornton-Trump on Tuesday 3 June at 13:30, to explore how AI is reshaping cybersecurity. Learn how early adoption is boosting threat detection, response times, and operational efficiency. Discover how MSSPs are building AI-driven roadmaps through real-world case studies.

Further supporting decision-making on the show floor, the new Infosec Hub will offer a destination for cyber professionals focused on selecting and implementing solutions, with peer discussion groups and analyst drop-in clinics hosted by Forrester and Frost & Sullivan. The Hub is designed to give security leaders space to evaluate choices with expert guidance. Access is available via upgraded Hub or Leaders’ badges.

New Infosec Table Talks, a series of curated small-group conversations, will allow professionals to dive into key challenges in a vendor-free setting. Topics include securing your AI, identity management and real-world implementation issues, with every session designed to foster honest, actionable dialogue. Each lasts 30–45 minutes and can be reserved in advance.

The show will feature a full programme of high-level roundtables and workshops, offering strategic insight and guidance for today’s security leaders:
