Join our new series of events, ScotlandIS Tech Tidbits, on the first Tuesday of every month!

These 30 minute webinars will be short, informative sessions on a variety of topics, from exporting to cybersecurity, cloud computing to procurement, and many more.

Each event will feature a ScotlandIS member offering their expert insights and advice on the topic in hand, however you do not need to be a member to attend these talks.

For Cyber Security Awareness Month in October, we’ll have FOUR Tech Tidbits each week featuring cyber security experts and themes.

For Week 1, we’ll be joined by Colin Fraser, Director & Co-Founder of i-confidential, to enlighten us with insights around third party connections.

Third party connections – technology’s audit trail to complete the supply chain inventory. We know we need a fully populated configuration management database to ensure security controls are applied on all our assets. The same is true in supply chain. If we don’t start with a complete inventory, we’re leaving a back door open. We’ll highlight threats and controls that only the technology team understand. We’ll also call out the duty that technology has to make some noise on this topic.

You will learn more about:

• Key benefits of a SOC, including continuous monitoring, rapid incident response, and expert threat intelligence.
• How to effectively integrate a SOC into an organisation’s cyber security strategy.
• Comparison between managed SOC and in-house SOC in terms of skills, budget, and resource allocation.
• Why there is increased interest in managed cyber security services.

Is your business involved in data processing or do you have solutions to help others to decarbonise their operations?

In 2021, the Scottish Government launched the Green Datacentres and Digital Connectivity Vision and Action Plan.. This plan outlines steps to make Scotland a leading zero-carbon, cost-effective green data hosting hub, contributing to the goal of net zero emissions by 2045. The initiative aims to develop a range of datacentres, from edge and co-location to hyperscale facilities, with increased capacity and a skilled workforce.

Join our round table with Scottish Enterprise and Scottish Government representatives and give your feedback/insights on:

1. AI and high performance computing workloads, help us inform our support service to help green those operations. We are seeking pathfinder companies willing to explore what could be possible and share learning experiences.
2. Understand how companies evaluate their carbon footprint of their digital operations today across scopes 1, 2 and 3 (What are Scopes 1, 2 and 3 Emissions? (greenly.earth)). We additionally want to explore ways to support you in reducing this.
3. Understand how the ScotlandIS membership can help others decarbonise their digital operations.
