Southampton · Axis Conference Centre
Hosted by Hampshire AI
Explore how AI is reshaping cyber security at this practical Hampshire AI meetup in Southampton, covering emerging threats, stronger defences and secure AI adoption. Taking place at Axis Conference Centre on Tuesday 17 November 2026, from 6pm to 8pm, the event examines both sides of the changing security landscape: how AI can support cyber attacks, and how organisations can use it to improve detection, protection and resilience. The discussion will also address protecting business data and systems as companies embed AI into their operations. The evening’s speaker is Marc Woosnam, Chief Technology Officer at Centerprise International. Marc brings nearly 30 years of experience spanning infrastructure, cloud, networking, cyber security, automation and AI. His work includes technology strategy and solutions for major defence, national security and public-sector programmes, giving the session a practical perspective on turning new ideas into governed, supportable services and products. The final title of his talk is still to be announced.
