Keynote Overview:
Cyber security is often seen as complex, technical, (if we’re honest) quite boring. This keynote flips that on its head.
Andrew will break down what cyber risk really means in today’s world, using real-world examples from major UK organisations and the latest regulatory changes that now place direct responsibility on business leaders. He’ll translate technical threats into simple, relatable concepts, like open doors, fake identities, and outdated systems, making cyber risk easy to understand for any audience.
In a unique and interactive twist, Andrew will also share anonymised insights based on real cyber exposure data, highlighting the most common vulnerabilities found across organisations in the room, from phishing risks to exposed infrastructure.
The session will then shift from problem to solution, introducing practical steps organisations can take to better understand and reduce their cyber risk, alongside showcasing regional support available through the West Midlands Cyber Hub.
