As our economy becomes increasingly dependent on cloud and edge computing, building secure, resilient, and trusted services have never been more urgent. This event brings together experts and practitioners from across the industry to explore what good looks like — from securing individual deployments to strengthening the wider digital economy.
Speakers and attendees will dive into best practice for zero trust architectures, observability, and threat detection and response, and examine the impact of AI on security. We will also consider the latest developments in encryption and key management, alongside the regulatory and assurance frameworks needed to maintain trust in cloud services.
Beyond the technical, this event will address issues such as disaster recovery, business continuity and supply chain resilience. And with cloud services now recognised as Critical National Infrastructure, we will consider the horizon risks shaping their future — from geopolitical instability to energy security challenges.
More details and a list of speakers will be announced in due course.
