AI, supply chains and the new rules of the market
The 2026 CyberSecurity Summit made the case that cybersecurity belongs on the AV agenda. That argument is settled. The question now is whether the industry can move fast enough.
AI has made attacking cheaper faster than it has made defending easier, and that gap does not fall evenly. The AV channel runs on small and mid-sized integrators, on systems built to last a decade, and on supply chains nobody fully maps. It now sits in hospitals, stadiums, transport hubs, control rooms, broadcast galleries and government buildings.
So exposure is no longer about who you are. It is about where your product ends up. A manufacturer inherits its customers' threat profile and carries it for the life of the installation. Where components come from, who can reach a system remotely, whose jurisdiction holds a meeting room's data: these are no longer purchasing details.
And the deadline is no longer abstract. Ten months after ISE 2027 closes, the Cyber Resilience Act makes cybersecurity a condition of sale: connected products will not reach the European market without it. Reporting duties are already live. Meanwhile NIS2 lands at a different speed in every country, so the ground shifts by market.
The Summit moves from evidence to practice: national incident data, the global pattern behind it, what manufacturers owe once a product is on the market, and how a single operation keeps running when something goes wrong. Its subject is resilience and continuity, on the assumption that incidents will happen and the question is what they cost. The aim is staying operational and credible when the AV layer is critical infrastructure and AI plays three roles at once: the attacker's tool, an asset worth protecting, and a system making decisions on your behalf.
None of this is predetermined. Speed can be automated. Accountability cannot. Delegates leave knowing what they are up against, and what to decide before December 2027.

SUMMIT PROGRAMME
Summit chair is Pere Ferrer i Sastre, a senior public executive and strategic advisor with over 15 years of experience in leadership roles across public safety, digital transformation, and critical infrastructure governance.
From 2019 to 2024, he served as Director General of Police for the Government of Catalonia, where he led the strategic planning and operational transformation of a 20,000-strong police organisation with an annual budget of €1.5 billion. Among his key initiatives was the approval of a new organisational decree that, for the first time, created a General Commissariat for ICT, tasked with leading the force’s digital strategy and technological innovation.
As Chair of the CyberSecurity Summit, he has brought his understanding of how cybersecurity intersects with AV systems, critical environments and regulation, fostering dialogue between technology providers, institutions and integrators to help build a safer, smarter AV ecosystem.
