Synopsis
Join Deloitte and BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, for an exclusive breakfast briefing tailored for Scotland’s senior technology leaders. This is not a technical deep dive; it’s a strategic conversation designed for those responsible for their organisation’s cyber resilience.
In today’s volatile digital landscape, cyber security incidents are not a remote possibility; they are a near certainty. What sets resilient organisations apart is not just how they defend but how they respond and recover.
This high-level session explores real-world experiences and actionable strategies that go beyond traditional disaster recovery, helping you to:
- Anticipate the reality of a targeted cyber-attack and plan with precision.
- Lead effectively in the critical hours following a breach.
- Craft a recovery strategy that protects business continuity, brand reputation, and stakeholder trust.
You’ll hear from leaders who have been tested at the highest level and emerged stronger.
Why Attend?
This session is designed exclusively for those in strategic leadership roles, including:
- Chief Information Officers (CIOs)
- Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs)
- IT and Digital Directors
- Senior Decision-Makers accountable for cyber resilience
If you are responsible for setting strategy, mitigating risk, and safeguarding your organisation’s digital future, this event is for you. This session is not a commercial event and, thus, not suitable for consultants, vendors, or technical practitioners.
This is an opportunity to gain peer-level insights, network with fellow C-suite leaders, and take away clear actions to reinforce your organisation’s cyber strategy.
Spaces are limited to ensure meaningful discussion—register today to secure your place.
