Technology Plenary

Chief Technology Officer Keynote and Technology Panel

A Stitch in Time… : What Will Our Future Selves Thank Us for Doing Now?

Many big technology changes take time. It is tempting to put off doing the really hard things and focus on the near term; there’s certainly no shortage of crises and incidents to deal with. What are the actions we can take now that will shape trends, policies and technology evolution for the next decades?

Cyber Den Winner Annoucement:

Carolyn Ainsworth, Deputy Director Chief Engineer, NCSC

Leadership Panel:

When It Hits: Leadership, people and organisational resilience under pressure.

What does crisis reveal about leadership, culture, and the people at the heart of our organisations?

Richard Horne, NCSC CEO, is joined by Keri Gilder, Colt Technology Services CEO, and Dr. Els Debuf, International Committee of the Red Cross, Head of Delegation for Cyberspace, for an honest, cross-sectoral conversation about leading through the most challenging moments.

From major cyber-attacks to humanitarian emergencies, this session draws on hard-won experience to explore how organisations prepare their people, maintain resilience under sustained pressure, and emerge stronger. Essential listening for anyone responsible for leading teams through uncertainty.
