Ministerial address: Pat McFadden, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for Intergovernmental Relations

We are facing some of the toughest geopolitical challenges in a generation. Inevitably these developments are playing out in cyber space and so the resilience of our CNI to cyber attack, in peacetime and in crisis, has never been more important. In a serious incident or in crisis, readiness is everything. This session will explore how we can collectively prepare ourselves to manage the consequences of an increasing cyber threat, in both response and recovery, learning from the experiences of partners who have found themselves at the sharp end of some of the most significant recent cyber incidents.
