Securing the Cloud: driving adoption, organisational change and COVID-19 – powered by UKCloudX

Cloud technologies offer the scalability, resilience and functionality that can enable organisations to become more agile, dynamic, and better utilise other cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, 5G, Edge Computing and AR/VR. Steadily all sectors are seeing increases in adoption and 87% of organisations say they would move IT to the cloud if the perfect solution existed.

This panel will explore whether security remains a barrier that is slowing the adoption of cloud technologies amongst multiple sectors. To do this, we will explore two key themes. First, panellists will discuss the impacts of COVID-19 disruption, and how this has changed the way all organisations must work, with increased remote working likely to be a long-term trend. Has this enforced adoption of digital technologies improved trust in the cloud? Has the cyber security sector moved quickly and effectively enough to underpin this digital transformation for the long term? Has this changed the threat landscape or just changed the vulnerabilities, or both?

The panel will also explore how the sectors with perhaps the most heightened security concerns have renewed their approach to tackling these problems, looking particularly at the Defence & Security sectors which face specific challenges around data sovereignty and classification. There will also be more general discussion on the shared challenges all sectors face including the growing threat surface and skills shortfalls. Whilst they face these huge challenges, the potential benefits of adoption are vast too. Establishing an information superiority offering gives the UK an edge in terms of capability. Discussion will include how MOD has recently approached this problem, implementing key process changes and beginning to drive cultural change in how it approaches information and technology. Finally we’ll touch on how cloud technologies have the potential to unlock further innovation, providing a value proposition which far outstrips the initial investment in the cloud.

Panel

  • Gerry Cantwell, Chief Technology Officer, UKCloudX

  • Sue Daley, Associate Director, Technology & Innovation, techUK

  • Robert Hannigan, Chairman, BlueVoyant

  • Andrew Tsonchev, Director of Technology, Darktrace

Cyber Security for Industrial Control Systems

Building Resilient Systems for the 21st Century Cybersecurity

With the rapid advancements in technology and connectivity, the threat of cyber-attacks on industrial control systems is fast becoming a reality that no company can ignore. Such attacks not only have the potential to cause financial damages but can lead to loss of production downtime for the entire system.

Join us for the Cybersecurity for Industrial Control Systems conference taking place on 5-6 March 2020 in London. With more than a decade of success, the conference has been carefully designed to highlight the regulatory changes and the key cyber security issues facing industrial control and SCADA Systems.

Echoes of Bletchley Park – why MK businesses need to harness female talent in the war against cybercrime

In a city renowned as a hotspot for technology enterprises, along with the UK’s highest start-up rates outside of London, Milton Keynes businesses face an increasing risk to cyber-attack – according to former head of GCHQ, Robert Hannigan CMG.

Speaking to the city’s business people at this week’s Milton Keynes Business Leaders event, Mr Hannigan offered the 80 attendees an insight into the parallel universe of cybercrime and the dark web. He highlighted the fact that, with the exacerbated ransomware threat, no business, no matter how small, was immune.
