THE CYRO CHAPTER

Where Security Leaders Secure and Shape the Future Together

The UK’s Cyber Security and Resilience Bill – necessary cyber governance for all UK businesses or another tick box?

What can we expect from the 2025 Cyber Security Landscape?

You’ve heard countless discussions about “the current security landscape.” But the real question is: what’s next?

The rapid pace of change is bringing new challenges every day. AI’s government-backed turbo-growth, rising geopolitical tensions, and an ever-widening skills gap are just the beginning.

But it's the forthcoming UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill that looms as the biggest shift yet, and the question on everyone’s mind is – what will it mean for me?

Though it's not yet been published, we can make informed predictions based on current trends that will allow us, as an industry, to better prepare for what’s ahead.

Join us for the next iteration of the Cyro Chapter, where Cyro’s own Gareth Roberts (Principal GRC Consultant) will be joined by Chris Spinks, Head of Operations at Cyjax and other industry leaders to debate what to expect. They will share their insights and predictions on what’s likely to emerge in the coming months, while factoring in other key considerations, such as the rise of AI, supply chain risk, proactive threat hunting, the role of threat intelligence and the geopolitical landscape.

A fragmented and reactive cyber security strategy accentuates risk, understand the key building blocks to a secure foundation and adapt these skills, processes and technologies to meet the need for constant change.

📆 Tues 4th March

⏰ 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM

📍 QT - Middle Eight Hotel, 66 Great Queen Street. London, WC2B 5BX

Come and have some drinks, nibbles and networking, and get ahead of the upcoming Bill, to navigate the complexities of the 2025 cyber landscape with ease.
