At BD.COM, we approached NIS2 and CRA implementation as an opportunity to strengthen trust, not just meet obligations. Our journey revealed how cross‑functional collaboration accelerates compliance without slowing innovation. We learned that governance, automation, and continuous risk visibility are the pillars of sustainable resilience.

By embedding security-by-design into every product and process, we’ve turned regulatory pressure into strategic advantage. I’ll share our key lessons and the practices that are foundational BD.COM’s cyber‑resilient future.

Operational resilience requires a right-sized framework that fits the organization’s culture and can scale across the enterprise. Move too fast or add unnecessary complexity, and leadership support quickly erodes. Equally important is generating excitement among the workforce and its leaders to actively participate in the program. This is where influential leadership becomes critical to program success and to driving engagement beyond compliance.

In this keynote, Gayle Anders, Global Head of Business Continuity and Enterprise Resilience Leader at Netflix, shares how Netflix builds scalable resilience. You will learn how influential leadership helps mobilize teams and gain practical insights from Netflix on engaging organizations worldwide.

Fraud is accelerating everywhere: Belgian companies are loosing millions every year due to scams like CEO fraud, invoice fraud, trademark scams. Despite initiatives to counter fraud, the YOY growth is still near 35-45%. Criminals pressure victim companies with convincing fake platforms and urgent messaging tactics now supercharged by AI-driven impersonation and deepfakes.

Also new technological developments, intended to make payment processes safer like Verification of Payee and e-invoicing/Peppol are already showing major flaws and criminals found ways to use these new developments to their advantage to give companies a fake sense of security and even scale up their fraud attacks.

Goal of this roundtable is to understand the evolution and sophistication of scams and fraud patterns, so we can jointly take the necessary measures to up our game in detection and preventing fraud.

The European Commission’s Digital Omnibus introduces targeted simplifications to GDPR, AI, data, and cybersecurity rules, aiming to reduce administrative burdens for businesses. By aligning overlapping obligations and easing reporting requirements, the Omnibus helps companies cut compliance costs and focus on innovation.

New clarity on data use, streamlined incident reporting, and extended relief for SMEs and mid‑caps make it easier to manage day‑to‑day regulatory duties. The package is designed to replace fragmentation with coherence making compliance more predictable, practical, and scalable as companies grow.

AI is increasingly embedded in core business systems, often faster than enterprise architectures can adapt. In this interactive roundtable, security leaders and architects discuss how AI is reshaping enterprise architecture, introducing new dependencies, risks, and governance challenges.

Participants will exchange experiences and perspectives on maintaining architectural coherence, security, and resilience while enabling AI-driven innovation within the enterprise.
