In an era of work from anywhere, how do you implement consistent security across all users and devices in all locations while simplifying operations? Hear from Blake Cloughley, who will show how this can be achieved with a Fortinet SASE Architecture.

According to the Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2023, 32% of all UK businesses reported a cyber breach in the past year. So what steps can you take to enhance security and protect your organisation from cyber threats?

Our panelists will provide an overview of the various tools which are available to public sector organisations to ensure they keep their data, customers and employees secure, even on a low budget.

A digital identity is a digital representation of your identity information, like your name and age. 

This comes with associated risks, where sensitive data may be jeopardised if the appropriate security measures are not in place. 

Our panellists will discuss the latest challenges and developments in keeping citizens’ data secure.

With the creation of the Digital Security Hub in Manchester, UK, this northern region is fast becoming a hub for cyber start-ups as well as a collaboration focus between academia and large organisations. Stuart will share with you case studies from DiSH, as well as lessons learned from the initial years of operation.

The Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR) is strengthening the cyber resilience across its social landlord portal. This case study will explore how SHR achieved Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation, and what steps you should take to improve your organisation’s cyber resilience, in order to obtain this.

A prolific cyber-crime gang issued an ultimatum to victims in the recent MOVEit hack, which targeted organisations around the world, including the BBC, British Airways and Ofcom. This is just one of many examples, where employees have been urged not to respond to ransom requests.

So how do we establish a workforce which is equipped with the right skills to be able to deal with the latest cyber threats? Our speakers will explore key areas where additional skills are most needed, upskilling of staff, and the role of diversity, equality and inclusion in developing and retaining talent.
