GOVWARE 2026 TO CONVENE GLOBAL LEADERS AS CYBER MOVES AT AGENTIC VELOCITY

Published

on

As AI moves from answering to acting, organisations must confront new realities around security, governance and accountability.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AI is moving from systems that generate answers to agents capable of making decisions and taking action. As this shift begins to reshape security operations, infrastructure and enterprise environments, GovWare Conference and Exhibition 2026 will bring together global cybersecurity leaders from 13 to 15 October 2026 to examine what must change, and what must remain anchored, as cyber moves at agentic velocity.

Held at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Singapore, as the anchor trade platform of the Singapore International Cyber Week (SICW) and supported by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA), GovWare 2026 is expected to convene more than 15,000 attendees from over 90 countries and regions, alongside 300+ speakers and more than 300 exhibitors from across government, industry and the cybersecurity community.

“Cybersecurity took several decades to evolve from a specialist technology concern into a whole-of-economy responsibility. AI is now driving another transformation, only at far greater speed,” said Richard Ireland, CEO of GovWare. “As systems become capable of making decisions and taking action with greater autonomy, no organisation can navigate the implications alone. The need to connect government, industry and practitioners, exchange knowledge and build trusted partnerships becomes more important, not less.”

This year’s theme, “Anchored in Unchanging Principles: Cyber at Agentic Velocity,” reflects this inflection point. Intelligent systems are increasingly sensing signals, supporting decisions and triggering actions. As a result, the time it takes to move from these signals to decision and consequence is compressing, raising new questions around delegated authority, human judgement and accountability.

Across three days, the programme will address what cybersecurity at agentic velocity means in practice, from defending core systems against evolving threats and designing secure, future-ready architectures, to strengthening governance, people and collective action as cyber risks increasingly cross organisational, sectoral and national boundaries.

More than 300 speakers will contribute perspectives from across the public and private sectors, including Jonathan Zanger, Chief Technology Officer, Check Point Software Technologies; Therese Quieta, Head of System Engineering, Centre for Advanced Technologies in Online Safety (CATOS), A*STAR; David Koh, Deputy Chairman, Ensign InfoSecurity; Bartley Richardson, Chief AI and Autonomous Systems Officer, CrowdStrike; Hoo Chuan Wei, Chief Information Security Officer, StarHub; Snehal Antani, Co-founder and CEO, Horizon3.ai; Kavitha Mariappan, Chief Transformation Officer, Rubrik; and Amir Ben-Efraim, Co-founder and Executive Chairman, Menlo Security.

GovWare 2026 will also examine what these shifts mean for sectors where cyber disruption can have wider economic and societal consequences, through closed-door Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) Forums for Financial Services and Healthcare.

The Financial Services CII Forum will examine AI governance, post-quantum readiness, technology concentration risk and maintaining financial services during disruption, including a live incident scenario, “Keeping Money Moving.” The Healthcare CII Forum will focus on patient safety and continuity of care, spanning AI adoption, third-party risk and operational resilience, including “Keeping Care Running: Operational & Cyber Resilience in Action,” a scenario-driven discussion on sustaining care during active cyber disruption.

The exhibition floor will further reflect GovWare’s international reach, with country pavilions from the Czech Republic, Finland, France and, for the first time, Italy. Bringing together cybersecurity companies and capabilities from across Europe, the pavilions will provide a gateway for international innovation and expertise to connect with the region’s cybersecurity community.

Local cybersecurity innovation will also be represented through a showcase jointly presented by the CyberSG Research & Development Programme Office (CRPO) and CyberSG Talent, Innovation and Growth (TIG) Collaboration Centre, which will bring together 10 cybersecurity innovators in a dedicated showcase. These include StrongKeep, AI Guardian and AgentSure with technologies spanning AI security, agentic AI accountability and post-quantum readiness, demonstrating how Singapore-based research and innovation are being translated into real-world applications.

Across the conference and exhibition, GovWare 2026 will connect perspectives from across markets and sectors, reflecting the increasingly global and interconnected nature of the cybersecurity challenges facing organisations today.

JustMarkets Explores What CFD Traders May Consider When Trading Volatility-Based Instruments

Published

on

By

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JustMarkets, a multi-asset CFD broker, has released an analysis of volatility-based instruments and the practical factors CFD traders may consider before trading them. According to the analysis, without volatility there may be little room for short-term trading — one of the reasons volatility-based instruments may attract attention from CFD traders seeking markets with distinct price behavior.

Unlike conventional assets, which can experience price fluctuations triggered by economic data releases, companies’ financial performance, central bank actions, or geopolitical events, volatility-based instruments may be constructed around specific market behavior.

What May Draw the Attention of Active CFD Traders

JustMarkets notes that exposure to price movement is the first factor.

Conventional markets experience calm and volatility based on liquidity, trading sessions, releases, and news. Meanwhile, volatility-based instruments exhibit specific characteristics, relevant for active CFD traders using technical strategies like momentum, breakout, and intraday-range approaches. Another factor is trading availability. Depending on the instrument, volatility-based instruments trade outside conventional exchange hours, giving CFD traders flexibility in timing analysis and trading. However, price movement alone does not mean improved conditions.

Increased Volatility Brings Higher Risk

Volatility can work in both directions. An instrument that can move quickly in a trader’s favor can also move quickly against the position. When trading leveraged CFDs, risk management becomes one of the most important factors.

Leverage allows CFD traders to control larger market exposure with limited margin. However, leverage also increases market exposure, capital volatility, and the potential for losses, and can lead to greater losses during adverse price movements.

Before placing a trade on any CFD instrument, traders should understand its price behavior, spreads, commissions, margin requirements, trading hours, overnight costs, and other factors.

JustMarkets notes that the key question before making a trading decision is not “Is this instrument volatile?” but rather “Does this kind of volatility fit my trading and risk management strategy?”

What to Check Before Trading

Before choosing a volatility-based CFD, traders may consider several practical factors:

Price behavior: how quickly and how often the instrument moves.Trading costs: spreads, commissions, and potential overnight charges.Leverage and margin: how much market exposure the position creates.Trading hours: when the instrument is available for trading.Risk tolerance: whether the instrument’s volatility aligns with the trader’s strategy and acceptable level of risk.

Shifting Focus to Market Behavior

For active CFD traders, an instrument’s price behavior may be just as important as the asset class it belongs to.

Depending on their strategy, scalpers may focus more on short-term price movements, spreads, and execution, while day traders may pay closer attention to intraday volatility and trading costs. Swing traders, meanwhile, may also consider how price behavior develops over a longer holding period, as well as potential overnight costs.

The same principle applies to the CFD markets offered by JustMarkets. CFD traders can choose among CFDs on different types of global markets and assess instruments based on their trading approach.

Volatility-based instruments may offer CFD traders more trading opportunities, but they also carry higher risk. Volatility should never be seen as a shortcut to profits.

For CFD traders, understanding an instrument’s price behavior and how it aligns with their trading strategy comes first.

JustMarkets aims to provide a convenient and transparent trading environment for CFD traders.
