Last night was techUK’s 5th and largest Cyber Security Dinner, bringing together nearly 250 attendees from across academia, public and private sectors. It’s no surprise that the UK faces significant challenges in the cyber domain be they state actors or criminal gangs, and we’re not facing 4 “nationally significant” cyber attacks every week. At the same time of course, AI is transforming the cyber security realm; both for good and ill. It was therefore timely to hear from National Cyber Security Centre CEO Richard Horne about how public and private sector already works together and how we can both improve that collaboration. Julian David OBE talked in depth about the need to bring continued skills and talent into the sector and our own commitment ensuring this pipeline matches the demand that we see across the economy. And last but not least it was fantastic to celebrate the Cyber Innovation Den winner Cavero Secure represented by Ben Varcoe. Thanks as ever to our members, stakeholder and public sector colleagues who gave up their evening to attend and participate - and of course to the great techUK team that makes them possible.
