Day Two

• Understand how quantum computing will impact encryption, data protection, and longterm project risk, and what construction firms need to do now to prepare
• Explore how agentic AI and autonomous security operations is reshaping how construction teams monitor, respond, and manage risk with limited resource
• Assess how data sovereignty will change where project data is stored, accessed, and controlled across global portfolios, and what this means for clients, contracts, and compliance

Practical Takeaway: Leave with a forward-looking roadmap to prepare for emerging risks from quantum computing, agentic AI and data sovereignty before they become business critical challenges

• Design compliance approaches that meet CMMC and client requirements without inflating cost or slowing projects
• Manage responsibility across subcontractors with varying levels of maturity without creating bottlenecks
• Balance compliance, contract eligibility, and commercial viability across your pipeline

Practical Takeaway: Leave with practical approaches for meeting CMMC and client requirements without creating unnecessary cost, project delays, or supply chain disruption

• What happens when payments stop, delivery slips, and clients are exposed?
• Respond to a simulated ransomware attack disrupting schedules, subcontractors, and payment flows
• Make real-time decisions on whether to stop work, how to communicate with clients, and how to manage contractual exposure
• Map how disruption spreads across cashflow, delivery timelines, and stakeholder relationships, not just IT systems

Practical Takeaway: Leave with a tested incident response framework for managing ransomware disruption across projects, payments, stakeholders and client relationships

• Identify where tool sprawl is creating blind spots, alert fatigue, and unnecessary cost without reducing real risk
• Decide what to consolidate, what to retain, and what to remove based on operational impact and response capability
• Evaluate whether your current stack would hold up under a real incident affecting projects, payments, or data

Practical Takeaway: Leave with a practical methodology for evaluating cybersecurity tools, reducing complexity, and prioritising investments that deliver measurable business value

• Focus effort on the risks that directly impact project delivery, payments, and contract performance
• Extend capability through partners, automation, and AI without losing accountability or visibility
• Build investment cases that link cyber maturity to reduced disruption, stronger client confidence, and contract protection

Practical Takeaway: Leave with practical strategies for maximizing cyber impact with limited resources, helping small teams focus investment where it most protects the business

• Identifying the risks that construction leaders are still not prepared for
• Pressure-test where your organisation is most exposed across projects, payments, subcontractors and client data
• Hear where peers remain vulnerable despite investment in tools, compliance, and training
• Define the decisions you need to make in the next 12 months to avoid disruption, client impact and commercial loss

Practical Takeaway: Leave with a prioritised view of the risks most likely to disrupt your business and a clearer understanding of the decisions needed to strengthen resilience over the next 12 months
