There will also be an open Q&A forum where attendees can connect with CISOs and experts from high-profile organisations to ask advice on aspects of managing security.

Opening the day will be a riveting presentation on Why intelligence is fundamental to cyber security, from former MI6 Chief Sir Alex Younger. Sir Alex became the UK’s Spy Chief – a position known as ‘C’ – in 2014. He served in this role for six years, and in 2019 became the longest-serving MI6 Chief in 50 years. As the head of counter-intelligence, a role he held from 2009, he was involved in security for the London Olympics 2012.

The panel discussions will explore three critical topics: From Zero to Zero Trust Hero, Automating to Succeed, and How Can You Prepare for the Next LOG4J.

Another must-see will be technology journalist, reporter and author Kate Russell interviewing Deborah Haworth, CISO of Penguin and Steven Capper, CIO of SNC-Lavalin on thetheme ofShared Learning: The Challenges of a Modern CISO.

Deborah Haworth says: “In today’s geopolitical and commercial threat landscape cyber-attacks are no longer about gaining kudos for breaching the unbreachable; they have become monetised and weaponised. It is vital that CISOs stay relevant by constantly learning and adapting. I am looking forward to discussing how CISOs are meeting this myriad of challenges head on.”

Steven Capper adds: “I’m really looking forward to speaking at Integrity360’s Security First conference, where I’ll be discussing how the modern CISO can tackle current and predicted cyber threats head on, what we need to think about to prepare our business for today’s threat landscape and also sharing some lessons learnt.”

Matt Tomlinson, Integrity360’s sales director, says: “Now the industry’s ready to meet in person again, we were determined to create a really meaty agenda geared towards the key challenges cyber security professionals face today. Our conference programme is rich with thought leadership and actionable insights, combined with opportunities to get hands-on with technology and to network. We were especially thrilled to secure Sir Alex Younger as our Keynote Speaker – it will be a true privilege to learn from his in-depth knowledge of state security and how to protect citizens from future threats.”
