The American Chamber of Commerce in Sri Lanka (AmCham Sri Lanka), in partnership with Standard Chartered Sri Lanka, will host SeCure 2026: Strengthening Organisations Against Tomorrow’s Threats on Tuesday, 4 August 2026, at the Courtyard by Marriott, Colombo.
Recognising the importance of equipping Sri Lankan businesses with insights drawn from international best practice, AmCham Sri Lanka has partnered with Standard Chartered Sri Lanka to bring Standard Chartered Executive Director and Head of Client and Third-Party Security Chris Fleming to Colombo for an exclusive executive session.
With extensive experience leading cybersecurity and third-party security programs across one of the world’s leading international banks, Fleming brings a global perspective on cyber resilience, governance and risk management. His work spans enterprise security strategy, threat intelligence, third-party risk and cyber governance, giving him practical insight into how organisations can better anticipate, prepare for, and respond to today’s increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
During his keynote address, Chris will explore the rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape, examining why organisations of every size and sector are becoming increasingly attractive targets for cybercriminals, how leading international organisations are strengthening their cyber resilience, and the strategic actions business leaders must take to safeguard their organisations in an increasingly digital world. Adding a unique and highly engaging dimension to the keynote, Chris will also lead an interactive exercise where participants will work together to solve a series of evolving challenges, testing their communication, collaboration and decision-making in real time.
Complementing the keynote will be a panel discussion featuring LankaPay Ltd., Deputy Chief Executive Officer Dinuka Perera and Moderated by Microsoft Sri Lanka Senior Partner- Solutions Sales Lead for Sri Lanka and Maldives and AmCham SL Board Member, Chinthaka Dunuwille the discussion will explore recent cyber and fraud incidents affecting organisations, evolving governance expectations, and practical strategies for strengthening organisational resilience in an increasingly interconnected digital economy.
Designed as a high-level executive breakfast forum, SeCure 2026 is expected to attract a strictly limited audience of 150 senior decision-makers, including CEOs, Board Directors, CIOs, CISOs, CFOs, legal professionals, risk managers, technology leaders and policymakers.
For attendees, the forum offers a focused opportunity to step away from day-to-day priorities and engage directly with the cyber risks, governance expectations and strategic decisions shaping business resilience. In a single morning, participants will gain access to international expertise, practical insights and peer perspectives that will help them better understand emerging threats, ask sharper questions within their own organisations, and strengthen preparedness.
The partnership between AmCham Sri Lanka and Standard Chartered reflects a shared commitment to strengthening cyber resilience across Sri Lanka’s corporate sector by creating platforms that connect local business leaders with internationally recognised expertise, practical insights and real-world learning experiences.
