We are delighted to have returned to Edinburgh for a second event this year, hosted by Lloyds Banking Group. Understanding the delicate balance between awareness and resilience is paramount in a rapidly evolving cyber landscape. This event brought together experts to dissect the intricate relationship between these two pillars of cybersecurity. Our panel sessions and interactive simulations provided invaluable insights into safeguarding critical infrastructure, protecting data integrity, and fortifying organisational defences.
We welcomed several attendees from each organisation – security managers accompanied by their legal, HR, procurement/supply colleagues, etc. This combination has worked exceptionally well at a whole variety of SASIG events. It generated energised and productive discussions, and we know it has subsequently led to closer working relationships amongst those who have attended together. We wish to build upon this success, and your help will be most gratefully received. We explored how awareness and resilience converge to fortify our digital future against emerging threats.
