Drones are reshaping warfare and challenging how we protect critical infrastructure, public spaces and national borders. As unmanned systems become cheaper, smarter and more autonomous, how can defences keep pace? Mikko Hypponen explores the evolving drone threat, the technologies used to detect and counter it, and the challenges ahead—from coordinated swarms to AI-driven systems. A look at the growing range of drone uses in conflict and national security settings, and what it will take to secure the skies.

Lunch will be served before the talk from 12:00 to 12:30 GMT.
