Event Details
As part of Cyber Scotland Week, IFB is offering a Cyber Security review for Aberdeen businesses and organisation to help them better understand their cyber security posture. The event is designed for business owners, CEOs, IT, and finance teams understand the cyber security risks and processes involved in securing their operations and moving it beyond just and IT problem and to treat it as a business threat at board level.
IFB understand the importance of cyber security for all businesses and where we are already helping many customers better understand the risks and more importantly the steps involved in improving their security and maintain business productivity. We want to use these skills and findings to offer our Cyber Security review to a wider audience and to spread the benefits so we can give Aberdeen businesses the tools and knowledge they need to stay protected.
The event is part of the Tech Showcase series in Aberdeen supported by Opportunity North East and will take place at ONE TECH HUB from Monday, February 27th to Wednesday, March 1st. Individual 1:1 slots are available to book with members of IFB’s Tech Team.
During the private, 1:1 review sessions, our team will provide guidance and support and deliver insights on how secure organisations external and internal networks are, as IFB’s team can scan their network externally and advise on gaps and potential risks.

Join this Summit held at Robert Gordon University as part of Cyber Scotland Week 2023.
Every year we see a rise in attacks on cyber-physical systems, and in 2021 we saw our adversaries becoming ever smarter, more efficient and increasingly successful at penetrating industrial networks. This was seen with ICS operators reporting more security incidents to the authorities than in any year previous.
The risk posed by cyber threat actors transcends sectors, highlighting the importance of our mission to continue to grow the multi-industry consortium that brings together a variety of industry and government stakeholders in an effort to improve the state of cyber security on both a domestic and international level.
The focus for this year has been to highlight the scope of industries that must tackle the risk that unprotected cyber physical systems have to an organisation, and this is shown by the support and attendance we receive from an ever-increasing range of sector experts, from Energy, Oil and Gas, Critical National Infrastructure and other industries impacted by threats to their industrial control system.

Event Details
Holyrood Connect is delighted to announce the return of the portfolio’s newest annual event, our Public Sector Data Summit, to be held on Tuesday, 14 March 2023 at COSLA, Edinburgh. After a wildly popular inaugural event, the 2nd annual Public Sector Data Summit will continue to establish itself as one of the premier events for Scottish public sector data professionals.
This year’s event will focus on providing real-life examples of data use within the public sector for delegates to learn from. These stories of challenge, persistence, and collaboration will hopefully inspire delegates as well as offer them a sense of community that leads to greater understanding and growth. The event will provide delegates with the opportunity to hear the latest developments around data sharing, maturity, strategy, and analysis, as well as to network with leading figures, peers, and industry representatives. Throughout the day, audience members will be able to include their own voices in the discussion through Question & Answer portions. Sessions of a variety of formats, including panel discussions, case studies, and plenary presentations, will delve into elements such as:
- Reflections on data’s role within the Scottish Government’s Digital Strategy as well as the overall state of data within the Scottish public sector.
- The complexity regarding the sharing and security of health and care data.
- The needle being threaded around the ethics of data use with regards to privacy, ownership, and intention.
- Examples of fellow public sector organisations’ data use challenges and the process of overcoming them.
- Further details regarding resources such as the Data Transformation Framework and the Data Intelligence Network.
This event is free-to-attend for those working in the public or third sectors. Register now to secure your place. If you work in the private sector, please email us to be added to our waiting list.

Cybercriminals don’t operate 9-5, so enterprise security services shouldn’t either. We keep our customers secure with our three, 24/7, UK based Security Operations Centres. It’s the skills and experience of our teams, their round-the-clock monitoring and immediate response to threats that make us market leaders in keeping organisations, and ourselves secure.
It’s nothing new that security continues to remain the biggest threat to organisations; Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is the fastest growing solution to that problem. Gartner predict that by 2025, 50% of organisations will be using an MDR solution to protect their business*. MDR enables customers to act as fast as possible to detect, investigate and mitigate any threats to their organisation.
Join us in March as we bring our team of MDR and Security experts to you. This will be an opportunity for you to ask questions, to take away tangible outcomes that increase your security posture and to learn about best-practice in 2023:
- Peer sharing: through our roundtable format, understand the challenges faced and the solutions deployed in other organisations.
- Insight sharing: what we’re seeing from our customers and conversations
- Market insight: why Gartner predict such a drastic rise in MDR
- Build your understanding: what is MDR from Proact?
- Cyber Resilience: what is your final card to play should the worst happen?
We’re having more conversations than ever with organisations, of every size and sector, that are confused by the MDR landscape; what is MDR, the responsibilities of internal vs external teams, is XDR the same as MDR and if not what’s the difference?
Our roundtable events are formatted to be as interactive and beneficial as possible – not to be talked at, but to share experiences with and learn from others. Save your place and share your questions – this way we can tailor our content to you and your organisation.

The must-attend event for Cloud, IT & Digital personnel. Live presentations, networking area and exhibition hall.
The pandemic spurred an accelerated shift to Cloud-based services, driven by a rapid requirement to support large-scale remote working capabilities. This trend shows no sign of abating, and Gartner predicts that global spending on public Cloud will reach over $482 billion in 2022, up from $313bn in 2020.
For many organisations, the shift to Cloud forms part of a wider infrastructure transformation, moving from physical, on-premise IT to a service-based model which supports greater agility, elasticity and predictability.
But while Cloud has driven a myriad of business benefits, it has also presented new challenges and contractual distinctions, as well as fresh compliance and re-skilling requirements. And IT leaders are forced to consider an increasing variety of options, balancing the benefits of public, private and hybrid systems while factoring culpability for accessibility, affordability and security.
The Summit will contextualise the transition to Cloud-based services, looking at key trends, advancements, and use-cases, and discussing how to optimise the business impact of Cloud technology.
The Summit will be hosted live at Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh and is free to attend for IT, Digital and C-suite level personnel, see the registration page for full T&Cs.
