Building Resilience: Empowering Cybersecurity Success in 2026
Hosted by Sophos
Geopolitical tensions, shifting regulations, and the relentless pace of AI innovation are fuelling a new wave of cyber risks. For the first time, according to the Office of National Statistics, a Cybersecurity incident has had a measurable impact on UK economic growth. Do we need to double-down on building resilience? And if so, what does that really mean?
- Unpack what resilience truly means and learn how your peers are adjusting their strategies accordingly.
- Dive into the trends reshaping the UK security landscape. Have we become too narrowly focused on data confidentiality — and would a resilience-first approach deliver better business outcomes?
- Discover practical and proven strategies for building truly resilient systems, processes and organisations.
