Event Brings Together Experts in Telecommunications and Utilities, While CEO of TI Safe Presents New Approach to Digital Security Based on Artificial Intelligence
Firstly, the UTCAL Summit 2026 will take place from March 17 to 20, 2026, at the Windsor Barra Hotel, located in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro.
Moreover, the meeting is organized by UTC Latin America, an entity recognized in the telecommunications sector applied to utilities.
Consequently, the event will bring together experts, executives, regulators, and technology companies to discuss the future of critical infrastructure in areas such as electricity, gas, water, and telecommunications.

At the same time, the program will include lectures, technical panels, specialized workshops, networking sessions, and technology exhibitions aimed at the digital transformation of utilities.
Therefore, according to the event organizers, the initiative seeks to broaden the debate on technological innovation, digital security, and modernization of critical networks.
Lecture Discusses Limits of Traditional Digital Security
In this context, one of the highlights of the program will take place on March 18, 2026, at 3:30 PM.
On this occasion, cybersecurity expert for critical systems and CEO of TI Safe, Marcelo Branquinho, will present a provocative lecture on the evolution of digital threats.
Additionally, the executive will discuss the topic “Cybersecurity is Dead and AI is Deciding Who Survives”, a title that addresses the transformation of digital protection strategies.
However, as Branquinho explains, the title does not indicate the disappearance of digital security.
In fact, he points to the limitation of traditional models in the face of AI-driven attacks.
According to the expert, AI-based attacks use polymorphic and mutable techniques, capable of rapidly adapting and circumventing conventional defenses.
Thus, these threats can identify vulnerabilities and exploit systems in real-time, making static barriers less effective.
Consequently, as the executive emphasizes, a system can be breached when there is enough time and intent to execute the attack.
Intelligent Cybersecurity Emerges as a New Paradigm
In light of this scenario, Branquinho states that the sector is going through a turning point in digital security.
Therefore, during the lecture, he will present the transition from traditional security to an intelligent cybersecurity model based on artificial intelligence.
In this regard, the expert will introduce the iCPS Cybersecurity methodology, developed by TI Safe.
Furthermore, the proposal was created to protect highly connected environments, especially those formed by Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS).
These systems, in turn, integrate information technology, industrial automation, IoT devices, and critical infrastructures.
Currently, according to the expert, such technologies are present in various environments of the so-called smart world, including:
- smart electric grids
- automated factories
- connected agriculture
- smart transportation
- digital buildings
- smart cities
However, as these technologies advance, cyber threats also evolve.
Furthermore, many of them have begun to use artificial intelligence to automate stages of attack, such as reconnaissance, vulnerability exploitation, and execution of breaches.
Therefore, in this context, traditional models based on static defenses become insufficient in the face of increasingly dynamic threats.
iCPS Methodology Uses Operational Data to Strengthen Defense
Thus, the iCPS Cybersecurity methodology proposes to reverse the logic of traditional security.
Instead of merely reacting to attacks, the system places artificial intelligence at the center of digital defense.
To do this, the methodology utilizes large volumes of operational data from the client, referred to as operational context.
This set includes, for example:
- security policies and procedures
- audit results
- incident history
- user interactions
- system logs
- technological configurations
- results from internal training
From this information, the platform continuously analyzes the protected environment.
Moreover, the system identifies risks, measures the maturity level of security, and automatically recommends or executes appropriate responses.
Consequently, all actions taken feed the system back with new data.
Thus, artificial intelligence continuously learns from the specific reality of each organization, enhancing its detection and response capability.
Safer Platform Operates as the Core of the Protection System
Finally, all this methodology is operationalized by the Safer Platform, considered the cognitive core of the iCPS Cybersecurity model.
According to Marcelo Branquinho, the solution was developed to protect cyber-physical systems present in critical environments.
Additionally, the platform integrates information technology (IT), operational technology (OT), IoT devices, and cloud environments.
With this, it becomes possible to detect threats early, automate responses to incidents, and maintain compliance with security standards.
Furthermore, the solution is deployed directly in the client’s environment, operating with specialized monitoring 24 hours a day.
In this way, as the CEO of TI Safe explains, the technology contributes to increasing operational resilience, strengthening digital governance, and supporting business continuity in critical infrastructures.
