Organizers of SOC Forum 2026 have released the full program for the cybersecurity event taking place on 27-28 October at Moscow's Lomonosov cluster. The main theme centers on the dual use of generative AI by attackers and defenders, examining both the benefits of the technology and the challenges that arise when AI assistants receive access to corporate systems.
The forum will feature more than 170 speakers and moderators from over 90 organizations, along with more than 60 sessions and 82 technical reports chosen from over 400 applications. On 27 October the agenda focuses on business and regulatory issues. Invited speaker Chen Qiufan, co-author of the book AI 2041, will deliver a 30-minute keynote and participate in a plenary discussion. Topics include the economic impact of AI, responsibility for mistakes, limits of autonomy, anti-fraud measures, and the risks of employees sending corporate data to external models.
On 28 October the program shifts to technical matters: the application of AI in attacks and defense, code security, cloud environments, and the protection of autonomous agents. Discussions will cover access rights, prompt attacks, and incident investigation procedures for AI systems. The AI & Cybersecurity track attracted 126 CFP submissions, 2.5 times more than last year. Participants represent banks, industrial companies, telecom operators, and cybersecurity firms. The forum is held within Russian Cybersecurity Week, with GK Solar serving as organizer and co-organizer. Registration remains open.
