AI security focus day

Welcome to techUK’s AI security focus day.

We're delighted to share a series of AI security blogs from our members at the heart of the AI security debate.

The year 2026 has been a year of rapid evolution for the cyber security sector. While industry has long anticipated both the defensive benefits and the risks associated with increasingly capable AI models, this year we've seen a real change in the speed and scale at which these vulnerabilities can now be identified. Following an announcement earlier this year that some new models have the potential to find vulnerable cyber defences at unprecedented speeds, government sent an open letter to UK business leaders warning of the risks posed by advancements in AI systems.

Though even a few months on, it's clear we are only just beginning to grasp the security risks presented by frontier and agentic models, with new breaches being announced on a regular basis. Our members are at the forefront of these developments, working with the UK's most critical sectors to ensure they are secure against the threats posed by frontier and agentic AI.

These blogs explore how businesses can keep themselves secure against the rapidly evolving developments in agentic AI, how to secure the agents that are deployed and how AI can improve cyber defences.
