Event Type : ScotlandIS Event

The UK Government (DSIT) recently published the Cyber Governance Code of Practice, Software Security Code of Practice, and the AI Cyber security Code of Practice.

This online session will provide insights into these modular Codes of Practice that are a part of a broader approach taken by government to ensure citizens and businesses in the UK can use digital technologies safely.

The first part of the workshop will provide attendees with an overview of DSIT’s work to date including on why we created the Codes and how to use them. Following this, there will be an opportunity for participants to ask questions relating to DSIT’s cyber security initiatives.

We will also be interested to hear from participants on whether sectors face particular challenges from implementing these Codes of Practice and if there are additional Government levers which could support organisations with the future adoption

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 our June event, we’ll be joined by FullProxy’s Stuart McCann, Cyber Security Account Manager, and Stephen Mellon, Technical Consultant, to discuss Quantum Threats & TLS: Future-Proofing Your Certificate Strategy.

Expired certificates can be a headache. Google’s 90-day certificate expiry timeframe and quantum computing are approaching, and keeping your certificates up-to-date has never been more important.

Join FullProxy to learn more about key methods to gain full visibility of your certificate estate and automate the renewal process.

Charities are using digital systems every day to deliver their services and keep in touch but with this capability comes a level of risk.

Join us for an engaging half-day event tailored specifically for third sector organisations looking to help their organisation stay safe online. This free event is designed to give you the tools, knowledge, and connections to boost your cyber resilience.

Following our popular AI webinar last December, we’re bringing you another session with Traction’s Lucy Batley.

The S.E.L.F group provides a forum for software engineering leaders, CIO’s and CTO’s across the Scottish tech sector to share ideas and explore common challenges. The meetups also provide opportunities for informal mentoring and potential opportunities for joint working.

Speaker: Colin Fraser, i-confidential.

This conversation will cover the key questions which might be asked by the C-Suite and the answers that are needed to give comfort.

Although some of those questions may seem naïve, we shouldn’t underestimate the techniques an accomplished Non-Executive Director or CEO will use to uncover some uncomfortable truths.

Colin will only use whatever public domain information is available at the time of the meeting, to challenge the audience to think about whether they are in a good place or not.

A full-day event for technical professionals and leaders in the sector. As one of Scotland’s biggest software conferences for over 25 years, ScotSoft allows you to connect, learn, and innovate while meeting new talent at the Young Software Engineer of the Year Awards.

This year, the event offers an unparalleled opportunity to gain invaluable insights from industry leaders, collaborate with peers, and explore the latest industry trends.
