This isn’t another high-level AI session.It’s a practical, working discussion focused on what’s actually happening in real environments. This isn’t about AI creating entirely new risks. It’s about AI amplifying existing data governance decisions, making permissions, classification, ownership, and lifecycle management more important than ever.
We’ll walk through:
No theory, no generic frameworks, just a clear view of how this plays out in practice.
Bringing together Microsoft's Chief Security Advisor, Lesley Kipling, Quorum Cyber's Data and AI Solution Director, Leon Butler, and real-life customers to explore how AI governance is becoming the next frontier of data risk and compliance.

Copilot as an Insider — Risk vs Controlled Reality

With nearly two decades leading investigations into some of Microsoft’s most complex global cyber incidents, Lesley Kipling brings deep frontline experience in incident response, forensic investigations, and crisis leadership.
Formerly Lead Investigator for Microsoft’s Incident Response team, she now advises organisations worldwide on strengthening resilience and using the power of cloud and automation to contain attacks. Lesley holds an M.Sc. in Forensic Computing from Cranfield University.
In her keynote, Lesley will share how Microsoft views AI governance today, what organisations are underestimating about AI-driven risk, and where governance, compliance, and security must intersect as tools like Microsoft Copilot become embedded in daily operations. She will explore how Microsoft is thinking about Copilot, control, and accountability, and why resilience must be designed in from the outset.
This will be a conversational, insight-led session grounded in real-world experience, not a slide-heavy presentation.

Richard brings over 25 years practical, real-world insight, and looks to challenge us on how AI and data governance actually work in live environments, not just in theory.

Leon specialises in data governance, Microsoft 365 security and improving information security maturity. Sharing what this looks like in real environments.

With incredible technical expertise Maha understands how to actually put controls in place with a practical demo.
Because if it isn’t, AI will show you.
