Operational Technology is quickly becoming an organisation highest risk point and in 2026 it’s becoming a regulatory consideration too.
Over this four part webinar series we will be joined by guest speakers as we explore what operational and IT convergence really means for all industries, not just manufacturing and CNI; how it will be impacted by the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill and what blueprint all organisations can follow to gain resilience across their environment.
Throughout this series we’ve covered:
- Assets discoverability and visibility (episode 1)
- Threat detection and integrating threat intelligence (episode 2)
- Incident response and meeting regulatory compliance (episode 3)
And in this episode we’ll look at bringing all of these elements together, connecting Operational Technology (OT) monitoring with IT monitoring to create a single view of full network activity.
In this episode we’ll cover:
- Why OT/IT connected monitoring is a must for any organisation in 2026
- How to effectively integrate IT and OT detection monitoring into a single Security Operations Centre (SOC)
- When this needs to be in place to be complaint with the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill
Featuring John Ballentine (Government Advisor; Head of OT Cyber Security, New Jersey Port Authority), you’ll hear the real-world “art of the possible” for complex operational organisations and how to move from fragmentation to a connected security operating model.

Attackers move fast and their techniques are more sophisticated than ever, especially with AI in their toolkit. But when the alerts hit, how does your team actually perform under real pressure?
HTB Threat Range was built to measure and strengthen that readiness.
It’s a team-based blue team simulation environment that exposes SOC and DFIR teams to realistic attack scenarios, so leaders can see how their teams perform when it matters most.
Hack The Box invites you and your team to a game night for blue teamers. A simulated cyberattack will unfold inside HTB Threat Range, where teams must detect, investigate, and respond in real time, while you observe investigation speed, team collaboration, decision-making, escalation paths, and operational resilience in action.
How the game works?
Our experts set the stage in HTB Threat Range, launching a realistic attack scenario and playing alongside you as it unfolds.
They guide the action, escalate events, and throw curveballs—inviting you to jump in, take on roles, make decisions, and play your part in containing the breach.
What you’ll walk away with?
- Develop detection and investigation skills through realistic attack scenarios, complete with alerts, logs, network traffic, and forensic artifacts.
- Benchmark team skills using key metrics such as MTTD, MTTI, and MTTR.
- Strengthen collaboration across SOC, Digital Forensics, and Incident Response through team-based roleplay.
- Identify gaps in detection, response, and coordination and turn those insights into a proactive response strategy.
Who should attend?
- CISOs and Deputy CISOs
- Heads of SOC and SOC Managers
- Blue Team Leaders
- Incident Response and DFIR Leaders
We strongly encourage you to bring your team.
The evening schedule:
- 17:30-18:00: Registration & welcome drinks
- 18:00-18:30: Mission briefing: Inside HTB Threat Range
- 18:30-19:30: Live operation: HTB Threat Range simulation
- 19:30-21:30: Networking with peers over drinks

ScotlandIS in partnership with SCVO are pleased to invite you to join our experts for a practical cyber security webinar for the 3rd sector.
You’ll hear from Amanda Stewart of Illuminate IT and David Lawrence of Grant McGregor, who will share practical, real-world advice to help you protect your organisation.
Charities and third sector organisations are increasingly being targeted by cyber attacks, often with limited budgets, small teams and heavy reliance on volunteers.
This practical Meet the Experts webinar is designed specifically for third sector organisations and will focus on the cyber risks you are most likely to face — and the simple, effective steps you can take to reduce them. Our expert speakers will cover the essentials, from understanding and managing your IT assets and keeping systems up to date, to building a strong security culture and meeting Cyber Essentials standards.
There will be plenty of time for questions, with clear, jargon-free advice you can apply straight away, plus practical takeaways and signposting to free or low-cost support.
Who should attend?
Anyone working and/or volunteering for a third sector organisation in Scotland at the beginning of their cyber resilience journey, and maybe not sure where to start, who provides leadership and/or is responsible for aspects of operations/IT.
Don’t miss this opportunity to take the first steps towards a safer, more secure organisation. Together, we can build a resilient third sector, equipped to thrive in the face of digital challenges.

Event Details
Join our 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 May, we’ll be joined by ScotlandIS member Phoenix and their partner, N-able.
In this session, N‑able will walk you through a real attack scenario drawn directly from recent frontline experiences. We’ll then tie the scenario to today’s threat landscape—where phishing, credential theft, and AI‑generated social engineering continue to target individuals directly. Finally, we explore how AI is transforming the SOC, helping IT teams better protect users, detect malicious behaviour sooner and accelerate a response through best practices and tools.
Here’s what we’ll cover in this session:
1. Attacks Start with a User: Most breaches begin with a human moment and why recognising early warning signs is crucial
2. Today’s Threats Are Faster and Smarter: Phishing, identity attacks, and AI‑driven impersonation have grown by 50% in 2025 according to the NCSC
3. AI Strengthens Defences: AI‑powered detection, analysis, and response help security teams act faster, cut through noise and offer organisations a strong return on investment in their security operations
