This event is designed to give you the tools, knowledge, and connections to boost your cyber resilience.

What’s on the Agenda? 

Improve Cyber Awareness 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. Learn steps to enhance your organisation’s understanding of cyber risks and how to stay vigilant.

Are you confident in your organisation’s ability to detect cyber threats?

Join speakers from Acumen Cyber and EY to discuss Cyber Threat Detection.

Understanding the assets that you have, key vulnerabilities and indicators of compromise can be challenging. There are a number of frameworks that can be used to establish cyber maturity and suggest good practice – but what are the practical implications of this?

Using the example of the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) (which is increasingly a requirement or regulatory obligation in the public sector), we’ll look at the following topics:

• The changing threat landscape
• What are the objectives of CAF, and what are they trying to demonstrate?
• Lessons learned from supporting clients to assess where they are against CAF (including sector specific profiles), including:

– Detecting cyber security events across dispersed IT / OT environments.
– Escalating, classifying and responding to verified cyber events

Contact marketing@acumencyber.com to register, and a member of the team will be in touch.

Do you have expertise in cybersecurity or space domain awareness (SDA)?

Apply to participate in the CySpace Connected Capability Network (CCN) cyber and SDA capability mapping workshop in Scotland, in which you can contribute to increasing UK space resilience.

Each workshop will identify key cyber and SDA capabilities, and map them to the Requirement Catalogue.

The Capability Mapping workshops will hold up to 100 attendees and last around 10:00-16:00.
