This year’s SASIG events reflected the pressing cybersecurity themes shaping today and tomorrow. We explored the evolving threat landscape, delved into resilience solutions, and examined pathways for growth.

Key discussions throughout the year highlighted emerging risks such as AI-driven threats, quantum technologies, and insider vulnerabilities. Human-centric strategies took centre stage, focusing on improving awareness, secure behaviours, and fostering sector-specific defences for industries like financial services and critical infrastructure.

We also tackled pressing issues around talent shortages, diversity, and inclusion, alongside the role of regulatory frameworks in an ever-changing landscape.

We considered what we learned this year, and how collaboration and innovation will be key to the solutions tackling the challenges of tomorrow.
