London is full of hidden gems, even on gloomy March evenings, and one recent standout was an exclusive, invite-only evening hosted by Infinum, which brought together the city’s cybersecurity and tech leaders to explore last year’s biggest threats and what lies ahead — featuring perspectives from the NFL, AMR CyberSecurity, and AI governance experts.
The panel featured Kam Karaji, Director of Cybersecurity & Risk Management for the NFL and NFL International Series; Martin Walsham, Director of CyberSecurity at AMR CyberSecurity – Part of Infinum, which Infinum acquired in December 2024; and Eric Alter AI Risk & Governance Consultant at EA AI. Debbie Jones of PRPR agency moderated the discussion.
Sharing perspectives
The conversation covered ground that’s reshaping how organizations think about security: the surge in AI-driven threats, increasingly sophisticated phishing campaigns, and what 2025’s major incidents revealed about modern vulnerabilities.
Discussion ranged from new regulations like NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act to the double-edged role of AI in both attacking and defending systems. The group explored whether regulations are improving real security outcomes or mainly driving compliance exercises, and tackled the critical role of crisis communications when incidents do occur, how organizations communicate during a breach can be just as important as their technical response.
It’s important for us to be genuinely present in the markets where we operate. With AMR now part of Infinum, we’re not just expanding our cybersecurity capabilities; we’re deepening our commitment to the UK tech community. Events like this are how we stay connected to what’s actually happening on the ground.

Continuing the conversation
As the panel drew to a close, the moderator posed a final challenge to the speakers: if organizations could take one action in the next 12 months to significantly strengthen their cybersecurity posture, what should it be? The answers varied, from investing in threat detection capabilities to building stronger security culture, but a common thread ran through them all: organizations need to prepare for incidents, not just try to prevent them.
The formal discussion gave way to drinks and networking, creating space for the kind of candid conversations that don’t always happen in panel settings, sharing war stories, discussing emerging tools, and exploring the delicate balance between innovation and risk management.
With AMR’s comprehensive expertise now part of Infinum, spanning penetration testing, red teaming, governance and compliance, secure architecture, and incident response, we’re helping organizations that refuse to compromise on security build security that keeps incidents from happening in the first place.
