Missed Security & Risk Forum 2026?

Security & Risk Forum gave security, risk, and privacy leaders a place to tackle their most urgent challenges and turn new ideas into action. From securing AI and strengthening resilience to building trust across the enterprise, attendees gained research, frameworks, and peer perspectives they could put to work.

In 2027, we’ll bring the community together again to explore what’s next and help leaders translate emerging risks and opportunities into smarter decisions, stronger strategies, and meaningful progress.

See What Made 2026 Different

Security & Risk Forum combined Forrester research with analyst access, hands-on learning, case studies, and conversations among peers facing many of the same challenges. Attendees left with new perspectives, practical tools, and ideas they could apply within their organizations. The event experience also included analyst one-on-ones, roundtables, networking, case studies, and other formats designed for applied learning.

Trusted Autonomy Starts With Securing Intent
As AI systems gain greater autonomy, security leaders need to think beyond traditional access and control models. Jeff Pollard’s keynote focused on securing intent as the foundation for trusted autonomy, while other sessions explored identity context, least agency, and protecting agentic architectures.

Build Trust Into AI From The Start
Attendees explored how to establish the guardrails, governance, and assurance needed to scale AI responsibly. Sessions addressed AEGIS, trust and assurance operating models, resilient AI, applications of AI guardrails, and approaches for defending against rogue agents.

Strengthen The Foundations For What Comes Next
The agenda extended beyond AI governance to the security capabilities needed for an increasingly agentic environment, including Zero Trust, quantum security migration, data classification and controls, threat intelligence, application threat modeling, OT security, and reskilling cybersecurity teams.
