We are delighted to return to Manchester for SASIG of the North, hosted by NCC Group.

As the world becomes increasingly AI-enabled and more dispersed in the way it operates, securing AI and using it safely means organisations require a clear view of their AI architecture and emerging agentic capabilities. AI delivers greater speed and efficiency but the convergence of IT and OT within the agentic space raises important questions about how far it may extend organisational risk.

Similarly, the recent Government focus on the North-West highlights the depth of capability beyond the capital. Does regional dispersal strengthen resilience or dilute security capacity. How far is business continuity enhanced, or is cyber posture endangered by moving away from a centralised London powerhouse where investment is attracted? Join us as we explore resilience, regional capability and security practice.
