Time: 9:30am – 12:45pm
Venue: Virtual
We’re delighted to be joined by Alison Hernandez, Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon & Cornwall and Sarah Armstrong-Smith, Chief Security Advisor for Microsoft. Sarah principally works to help customers evolve their security strategy and capabilities to support digital transformation and cloud adoption. Sarah was recognised as one of the most influential women in UK Tech and UK cybersecurity in 2018 and 2019 and regularly contributes to thought leadership and industry publications.
At Regional, Civil & Business Security, our first online conference, we will also hear from regional cyber and IT security leaders, Securious and Acronyms, plus exemplars of shock-resilient business; Stephens Scown LLP and JLT Group.
Together with you, we’ll learn more about how these organisations have responded to Covid-19, a radically changed business landscape and greatly heightened security concerns. As you’d expect from SWBC, we’ll also be looking over the horizon and discussing with our speakers how business, and life, is likely to change in the longer term and how we can best prepare for it.
