Securing AI in Action: Bridging Policy, Innovation, and Implementation

Join Kainos for an event exploring the practical challenges and strategies for implementing AI Security in real-world organisations.

Hear from the following expert panellists:

• John Sotiropoulos – Head of AI Security at Kainos, OWASP GenAI Security Board Director
• Ali Shepherd – CISO, Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
• Aswini Dasika – Head of Dev, AI & Innovation, Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)
• Ed Venmore-Rowland – Head of AI Cybersecurity Policy, Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT)
• Rory McLaren – Chief Product Officer, Kaizen

The panel will reflect on:

• Turning policy into practice (i.e. DSIT’s AI Cybersecurity Code of Practice). What are the barriers.
• Case studies and lessons learned from implementation
• Bridging innovation with governance and risk management
• Building sustainable AI security programmes

The event will also serve as a launchpad for a UK AI Cyber Network—a community of practice to share experiences, connect across sectors, and accelerate secure AI adoption.
