Threat intelligence from the frontline
From Dave Allen, CEO of Cysiam
8th October, 6pm | Kimpton Clocktower Manchester
Cysiam CEO Dave Allan has spent his career on the front line of security – from counter-terrorism and cyber capacity building overseas, to founding CYSIAM and this year becoming chair of CREST, the industry’s leading accreditation body for security professionals.
Join Dave, LIMA’s security experts, and a table of peers for an evening of open conversation about the threats organisations are facing right now – from AI-driven attacks and supply chain vulnerabilities to the economics of ransomware-as-a-service.
This is a great chance to share the challenges you’re navigating in an informal setting, hear how others are tackling the same problems, and leave with a clearer picture of where to focus your security investment next.
Good food, good company, and conversation with someone who spends his life getting up close with the threats.
What you’ll learn
- How AI is changing the speed and sophistication of cyber-attacks – and why security maturity needs to keep pace with adoption
- Why supply chain risk is often the blind spot that gets organisations breached, with real examples of how attackers exploit it
- How the ransomware-as-a-service economy works, and what that means for your risk exposure
- A framework for prioritising security investment based on threat intelligence, not just compliance checklists
Who should attend
This evening is designed for IT and security leaders who want to think beyond the day-to-day – CIOs, CISOs, IT directors and heads of IT who are responsible for setting security strategy. Whether you’re navigating AI adoption, concerned about supply chain risk, or simply want to compare notes with peers facing the same pressures, you’ll find value in this event.
