The next meeting of the Digital and Technology Directors' professional network is now open for booking and will focus on cyber security aimed at strengthening digital resilience across member organisations.
For our first presentation we hope to be joined by representatives from the National Cyber Security Centre to explore the evolving cyber threat landscape and offer practical guidance on enhancing organisational resilience.
After a short break we will be joined by Jonathan Taylor from Howden, who will examine the strategic value of cyber security insurance, including its benefits and coverage considerations.
Finally there will be a group discussion, inviting members to share their experience and expertise on their current use of Microsoft licensing.
The meeting is designed to provide valuable insights and foster collaborative dialogue around digital safety and preparedness, equipping members with knowledge to navigate today’s complex cyber environment.
