Join Illumio in London at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2026

In July, a routine frontier AI test at the UK AI Security Institute became a real security incident. AI agents took 19 unsanctioned actions on the open internet directed at real people and organizations. One even tried to insert malicious code into an open-source project and used fake identities to pressure a maintainer to approve it.

A human caught the attempt, and investigators found no evidence of real-world harm. Still, it showed how quickly autonomous systems can move past their assigned boundaries. Security teams need controls that limit what an agent or attacker can reach before unexpected activity turns into a full-environment compromise. Shrinking that reach is the practical work of breach containment, and it’s the conversation we’re bringing to London this September.

Illumio will be at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit from 22–24 September 2026 at ExCeL London. This is your guide to the week — what’s happening when, what you’ll see, how to book time with our team, and how to register for less.

Join Illumio at booth 713

Our team will be at booth 713 for all three days of the summit. Stop by to learn what the Illumio platform can do for you:

• Illumio Segmentation contains attacks across hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure by controlling how workloads communicate.
• Illumio Insights, built on the Illumio AI security graph, maps how your environment is actually communicating, surfaces the lateral movement paths an attacker would use, and contains threats at cloud scale with a single click.

Get a demo of the Illumio platform to understand what breach containment looks like in an environment like yours: where workloads are exposed today, which connections an attacker could use to move between them, and what changes once policy is enforced at the workload level. Our experts will also cover what to segment first, how to handle systems you can’t patch, and how to show your board that the blast radius is shrinking. Everyone who takes a demo walks away with Illumio swag.

Short on time? Sit in on an in-booth session. Booth sessions run in ten-minute windows. And if you want to dive deeper, request a meeting with our team.

Fireside chat: how Virgin Money built microsegmentation

Neil Robinson, CISO at Virgin Money, will join Illumio VP of Industry Strategy Raghu Nandakumara for a fireside chat, Inside Virgin Money’s Microsegmentation Journey with Illumio. It runs Thursday, 24 September, 11:30 AM–noon BST in Maritime Suite 26.

The two will cover what it took to build microsegmentation at a bank, from the first decisions through the day-to-day work of keeping it running.

Banks and financial services operate under some of the toughest conditions in security. Regulators want evidence, core legacy systems have been running for decades, and you can’t schedule downtime for a weekend of testing. Neil will walk through how his team worked within all three.

Make sure to add the session to your agenda when you register.

Network and wind down at two evening events with Illumio

On Tuesday, 22 September, Illumio and Check Point are hosting Gartner After Dark, a private dinner cruise on the Thames from 6:30–10:30 PM BST. Grab dinner, get a view of the London skyline, and take a few hours away with people who spend their days on the same problems you do. Numbers are capped, so register early.

And on Wednesday, 23 September, Illumio, Netskope, Cribl, ExtraHop, and Forescout take over Zero Sette at ExCeL from 6:00–9:00 PM BST. It’s an easy way to close out the day and compare notes with peers across the region. Save your spot here.

Plan your three days at the Gartner SRM Summit

Everyone at this summit is working on the same underlying problem: attacks are getting through. The difference between an incident and a catastrophe comes down to what happens in the minutes after.

Three days in London will sharpen how you think about that gap, and it will connect you with the people who can tell you what worked in an environment that looks like yours.

Come find us at booth 713, take a demo and grab some swag, book time with our team, and put Thursday’s Virgin Money session on your agenda.

See you in London!
