Threat Plenary:

Looking Back, Looking Forward - In Conversation with Chich: The Evolution of The Cyber Threat

NCSC Director of Operations, Paul Chichester CMG, sits down with author and investigative journalist Geoff White to talk all things cyber threat, reflecting on themes from across the threat track. A lot has changed over the last 10 years, but a lot hasn’t - and Paul and Geoff have seen it all. How has the threat evolved, and what factors are driving change? How have we evolved our approach to cyber defence, and how can we stay ahead of the threat?

International Panel:

Global Perspectives On How to Stop Threat Outpacing Resilience

To mark our tenth CYBERUK, NCSC will invite – for the first time – a key international partner to chair a plenary panel. Senior international government figures from across the globe will bring their considerable experience to bear to reflect on the last decade, how we got here, where we must change course and what sources of optimism they foresee over the coming ten years.
