With less than a month to go before UK Cyber Week Expo and Conference, organisers are urging cyber experts, IT leaders and front-line business executives along to the event which promises to “deliver actionable insight for all levels of cyber knowledge”, so attendees can “leave better informed, action-empowered and industry-revitalised”.

Finally, organisers say that to cap off a great first day, visitors will be invited to join the community from 5.00pm onwards on Wednesday 17 April 2024, for the Cyber House Party – Networking 2.0, where a host of Cyber House Party DJs “turn it up to 11!”
The conference website says its ultimate aim is to “empower individuals and organisations with the latest insights and cutting-edge strategies. Together, we’ll fortify our teams, companies, supply chains, and infrastructure against the ever-growing threat of cyber attacks.”
Bradley Maule-ffinch, UK Cyber Week Expo and Conference Managing Director, comments: “Cybersecurity is a crucial concern for every organisation in the private, public, and third sectors. The threat landscape is constantly evolving, with the number and types of threats growing every week. There are some organisations who run dedicated cyber security teams whilst there are others who rely on their IT departments or outsource their cyber needs to a third party. Wherever the security in your organisation comes from there is one thing we can all agree on keeping up to date with everything is very difficult.
“UK Cyber Week is on a mission to help level up cyber security knowledge for everyone – the cyber pros, the IT team and business leadership. We have built an event with the aim to provide conference level content but for free. We welcome everyone and no matter what your technical understanding, there is something at UK Cyber Week for you.
“We cover everything from ransomware to cloud security as well as security culture, wellbeing and diversity. This year we’re hosting some incredible cyber researchers who haven’t spoken in the UK before as well as the cyber rockstars who are always fascinating to listen to. We hope you come to UK Cyber Week to learn from our speakers, get inspired by our show floor full of cool tech suppliers and stay and network with the great and the good from the cyber community.”
