Everyone is Talking About AI, But Are We Resilient Enough to Roll It Out at Scale? - DXC and Check Point

‍

Overview

In this CIO and CISO Inspired Summit session, DXC Technology and Check Point discuss the UK cyber resilience bill introduced on 12 November 2025 alongside the rush to adopt AI. The conversation includes Check Point's Field CISO, a former CIO for NHS Scotland, and the leader of DXC's global cyber security practice.

The bill shifts security from protection and point products towards prediction and business continuity, making resilience a business problem rather than just a security one. The panel looks at how that collides with businesses setting up discrete AI pilots, often outside traditional IT and security teams and without a single governance framework.

Key takeaways

  • The bill builds on the NIS regulations and expands their scope, pushing a more pointed approach to resilience.
  • A strong compliance score does not mean you are secure or won't be breached, and boards need to understand the difference.
  • Recent supply chain attacks with life-or-death consequences show the value of business continuity plans that are regularly exercised.
  • AI adoption looks like the early days of cloud, with isolated pockets of brilliance and growing AI sprawl that make oversight and governance difficult.
  • With limited resources, set a clear risk tolerance and prioritise, including watching for leaked or brokered credentials and known vulnerabilities.
